Remove liquidity
Withdraw part or all of a position while preserving minimum receipts and outstanding fee claims.
Removing liquidity returns the principal represented by part or all of your position. The token mix depends on the current price and your range. You may receive different proportions from your initial deposit, or a single asset when the position is outside its range.
1. Decide how much to remove
A partial withdrawal keeps the remaining liquidity in the same range. A full withdrawal takes liquidity to zero, but it does not automatically claim every fee or close the position account.
Check the position owner and pool before selecting an amount. A displayed currency valuation is an estimate; the withdrawal settles quantities of the pool's actual tokens.
2. Review expected receipts and minima
The review should show expected token A and token B principal, minimum acceptable receipts, and network costs. Removal uses minimum receipts, unlike an addition's maximum spending limits. Price movement and integer rounding can change the exact amounts.
An expected zero amount on one side may be correct for an out-of-range position. Understand that composition before accepting the transaction; a generic “withdraw value” number can hide which asset you will receive.
3. Satisfy the pool's rules
The owner must authorize removal, and a configured removal hook may impose additional requirements. Eligibility to deposit does not necessarily imply unconditional eligibility to withdraw. Read the pool's withdrawal policy before funding it, and check the specific rejection if removal is denied.
A normal withdrawal returns the pool assets. A supported zap out also converts withdrawn principal toward a chosen asset, adding swap fees, price impact, execution limits, and swap-hook requirements. It does not collect outstanding LP fees. Removing the last usable liquidity can make that conversion impossible in the same pool.
4. Confirm principal, then handle fees
Verify the signature, actual receipts, and remaining position liquidity. A failed transaction rolls back the liquidity change and transfers together; an unclear status should be resolved before retrying.
Full removal can leave accrued fees on a position with zero liquidity. Collect those fees separately. Once both liquidity and fee balances are zero, the position can close and return its account deposit to the owner.
Shared pool and tick storage is not automatically closed when you leave. Closing your position also does not close unrelated wallet token accounts. For the complete sequence, use Manage your position.
