To start investing and using Trader Joe’s features, you will need to have at least some AVAX on MetaMask on the Avalanche C-Chain. You will then be able to swap AVAX with other necessary assets on the Trader Joe platform. Fees on Avalanche C-Chain are paid in AVAX, so always keep in mind to have some extra AVAX left for fees.

If you do not have any AVAX on Avalanche C-Chain, you can send it from a centralized exchange (CEX) such as Binance. The moment you get AVAX on your MetaMask, new opportunities will open up in DeFi on the Avalanche blockchain, and you will be able to provide liquidity, engage in staking and yield farming, or swap individual cryptocurrencies with each other.

If you don't know how to get your digital assets onto MetaMask, add mainets, or bridge between blockchains, check out our DeFi guide, where you can learn everything step by step.

A detailed tutorial on how to add a token to your Web 3.0 wallet using token contracts can be found here: Add Tokens into the MM.

Trade: Here, you swap tokens as you need, whether it is for trading purposes or to create a LP.

Pool: Your active LP will be displayed here, and you will also be able to create a new LP by clicking on ‘Create New Pool.’ You can choose between V2 Pools, All Pools, and My Pools.

Farm: Here, you can farm JOE tokens using LP tokens.

Launch: In launch, you can participate in the launch of new projects on the Avalanche blockchain. Thanks to this feature, it is possible to access new project tokens at discounted prices.

You can learn more about how launchpads work here: Launchpad.

Lend: In this section, you can deposit your cryptocurrencies as collateral, enabling you to then take out a crypto loan.

For detailed information on cryptocurrency loans, see Lending / Borrowing.

Stake: Here, you can stake native Trader Joe tokens, for which you will earn rewards or other benefits.

NFT: By clicking on NFT, you will be redirected to the platform, where you can trade or mint NFTs.

Before we create a LP, we need to know what tokens we want to use for it. A LP always consists of 2 different cryptocurrencies.

For token swapping, you need to click on ‘Trade.’ You will then see a menu where you can choose which token you want to swap.

If you cannot find the desired ERC-20 token in the list, you can find it at website and copy its contract address into the search bar as shown in the picture.

To provide liquidity, you need to click on ‘Pool’, and you can then choose the specific pair for which you want to provide liquidity. Now, you can add or remove liquidity, choose a liquidity shape, and also keep track of the already created LP. After you enter the value of the tokens, you will see the ‘Supply’ button with which you can create the LP. You are then rewarded by the protocol for providing liquidity from the swapping fees.

For detailed information on specific LP strategies, using LP tokens for yield farming, staking, and lending, see Trader Joe - Opportunities & Risks.
