# Liquidity Mining Pool

There are three liquidity pool contracts for APY.Finance. Each contract handles a specific currency and issues its own APT token to represent a user’s stake in the pool. There is a contract for DAI, USDC, and USDT. These contracts are orchestrated by the APY manager to act as a single pool.

The liquidity pool contracts use a proxy pattern for upgradeability. Transactions are sent to the proxy contract address, but the functions they call are from the implementation contract.

Each pool contract is also an ERC-20 token with 18 decimals and the symbol “APT”. The contract is called `APYPoolToken`.

All of the following examples will use web3.js and the DAI liquidity pool contract.

## Adding Liquidity

The transaction sender must first approve the pool proxy contract to transfer their deposit tokens:

```javascript
await daiToken.methods.approve(daiPoolToken.address, daiBalance);
```

Then the sender must call the `addLiquidity` function on the pool contract with the amount of tokens they wish to deposit:

```javascript
await daiPoolToken.methods.addLiquidity(daiBalance);
```

## Removing Liquidity

The transaction sender must first approve the pool proxy contract to transfer their APT tokens:

```javascript
await daiAptToken.methods.approve(
    daiPoolToken.address,
    daiAptBalance
);
```

{% hint style="info" %}
APT represents a share of the pool. The total supply of APT represents the total amount of stablecoin deposited in the pool contract.
{% endhint %}

Then the sender must call the `redeem` function on the pool contract with the amount of APT the wish to redeem:

```javascript
await daiPoolToken.redeem(daiAptBalance);
```

{% hint style="info" %}
Redeeming the entire balance of APT will withdraw the sender’s entire deposit.
{% endhint %}
