How to Create a Full-Range Position

Create your first full-range liquidity position on Orca.

A full-range position spreads your liquidity across all possible prices (0 to infinity). This is the simplest way to provide liquidity on Orca.

Pros

• Simple to create and manage
• Always earning fees (never out of range)
• Lower impermanent loss risk

Cons

• Less capital efficient
• Lower potential yields
• Similar to traditional AMM

Full-range positions are ideal for beginners or those who prefer a hands-off approach. For higher yields with more active management, consider custom-range positions.

How to Create a Full-Range Position

1. Navigate to the Pools page

   Go to orca.so/pools

   Always verify the URL in your browser before connecting your wallet.

2. Connect your wallet

   Click Connect Wallet and ensure both the UI and your wallet are set to the Solana network.

3. Find your pool

   Locate the pool you want to add liquidity to:

   • Browse the pool list, or
   • Use the search field to find by token name, ticker, or mint address

   

   Verify you’ve selected the correct token—check the mint address if unsure.

4. Open the Liquidity Terminal

   Click on your chosen pool to open the Liquidity Terminal.

   
5. Select Full range

   In the Create Position sidebar, ensure Full is selected.

   
6. Enter deposit amounts

   Enter the amount to deposit in one of the token fields. The other value auto-adjusts to match the required ratio.

   

   Options:

   • Type a specific amount
   • Click Max to deposit your full wallet balance
   • Use Autoswap to automatically balance your token ratio

   See Understanding Slippage if you need to adjust slippage settings.

7. Complete your deposit

   Review your deposit and click Deposit.

   
8. Approve the transaction

   Review the details in your wallet—including network fees—and approve.

   Review carefully. Verify the pool price matches wider market values. Depositing at an incorrect price may result in immediate loss.

After Creating Your Position

Your wallet now contains a position NFT representing your liquidity. It displays “DO NOT BURN”.

Protect your position NFT:

• DO NOT sell or burn this NFT—you’ll lose your liquidity
• You can transfer it to move your position to another wallet
• Orca cannot recover funds lost from burning position NFTs
