How to: Fund a market

Providing liquidity to a market earns you a share of the trading fees it generates and helps other traders get better prices. Funding can be added at any time—even after trading has started. Trading on the market begins automatically once the minimum funding threshold set by the market creator is reached.

Before you start

• Make sure your wallet is connected to Ignite Market on the Flare network.
• Your wallet must hold the market's collateral token (e.g. USDT0, FXRP).
• Keep a small amount of FLR to cover the gas fees.
• If this is your first time interacting with the collateral token, your wallet will prompt you to increase allowance so the protocol can spend the token on your behalf. This is a one-time approval.

Withdrawal timing

Added liquidity cannot be withdrawn until the market is resolved. Once the outcome is finalized, you will be able to redeem your pool share (plus earned fees) via the Withdraw button.

Trading threshold

A new market starts in Funding mode. As soon as total liquidity meets the creator-defined threshold, the Buy and Sell tabs become available and regular trading begins. You can still add more funding after this point.

Step-by-step

1. Open a market you want to support.
2. In the order panel, select the Fund tab (visible both before and after trading has started).
3. Enter the amount of collateral you want to contribute, or click Max to use your full balance.
4. Click Fund. A two-step modal will appear:
   1. Increase allowance – sign an approval transaction (only once per token).
   2. Confirm transaction – sign the funding transaction.
5. Wait a few seconds for the block to confirm. A Congratulations! dialog with confetti will pop up once the contribution is successful.
6. Your pool share now shows up under the chart, and your wallet balance is updated.

Withdrawing liquidity

Liquidity providers can withdraw their share (plus earned fees) after the market resolves.
