# Providing Liquidity

The [**app.canto.io**](https://app.canto.io/) frontend offers two interfaces for providing liquidity on the Canto DEX and Ambient:

* [**app.canto.io/lp**](https://app.canto.io/lp) – for incentivized pairs
* [**pools.canto.io**](https://pools.canto.io/) – for all other pairs

{% hint style="info" %}
To swap tokens through the Canto DEX or Ambient, use a third-party frontend or aggregator such as [Slingshot](https://app.slingshot.finance/trade/ETH).
{% endhint %}

## [app.canto.io/lp](https://app.canto.io/lp)

* CANTO/ATOM (Canto DEX, volatile)
* NOTE/USDC (Canto DEX, stable)
* NOTE/USDT (Canto DEX, stable)
* cNOTE/USDC (Ambient)
