Investing in a pool on Exponential

Once you’ve completed all the onboarding steps listed in Profile, you’re ready to start investing. Before we jump into how buy orders work, a heads-up that Exponential users can only buy and sell in 'lots.' That means before you make an investment, you should consider if you plan to sell in increments or all at once.

For example, you buy 10 LP tokens for a Yearn ETH market-making pool. If the price of ETH rises and you want to sell, you must sell all 10 LP tokens at once. If you want to take partial profits, you should execute two or more separate investments. For example, you would buy 5 LP tokens twice for the same Yearn ETH market-making pool. This way, when you want to take a profit, you can sell 1 lot at a time.

Next, let’s go over fees. Exponential charges a 1% service fee when you make a digital asset purchase (all gas fees are included in the service fee). For example, if you invest 10,000 USDC, the Exponential service fee would be 100 USDC. You will see the fee on your order confirmation screen and receipt.
