How liquidity participation works

Liquidity participation lets you provide ETH on Arbitrum to support the APTESG trading pair on Uniswap. In return you receive APTESG and, after 30 days, a 10% bonus. Here is a full breakdown of the mechanics, rules, and what to expect.

Overview

Protocol-level liquidity with a time-based bonus

When you participate in liquidity, you are not contributing to a personal pool or earning trading fees directly. Instead, the AppleTree smart contract uses your ETH to create an official Uniswap liquidity position on your behalf. This position is owned by the AppleTree Foundation and cannot be withdrawn by you.

In exchange, you receive the equivalent amount of APTESG immediately. You can then withdraw 2% of that amount per day, every day, over 50 days. After 30 days, an additional bonus of 10% of the original APTESG amount becomes claimable through the dApp.

The purpose of this mechanism is to support the APTESG trading pair's stability and depth on Uniswap in a way that is coordinated at the protocol level, not dependent on individual user behavior.

Key facts
  • Bonus: 10% of the APTESG equivalent you provided
  • Bonus claimable after: 30 days
  • APTESG withdrawal: 2% per day over 50 days
  • Max total liquidity bonus pool: 1,000,000 APTESG
  • Liquidity position owner: the AppleTree Foundation
  • KYC required before participating

Step by step

How to participate in liquidity

The full process happens inside the dApp on Arbitrum. Here is what each step looks like.

01

Open the dApp

Go to dapp.appletreetoken.com and connect your Arbitrum-compatible wallet. Make sure you have completed KYC verification before proceeding.

02

Enter ETH amount

In the liquidity section, enter the amount of ETH (on Arbitrum) you want to provide. The dApp automatically calculates the equivalent APTESG amount based on the current price.

03

Protocol creates the position

The AppleTree smart contract creates an official Uniswap liquidity position using your ETH and the equivalent APTESG. The position is owned by the AppleTree Foundation โ€” you cannot withdraw the underlying liquidity.

04

Receive APTESG and withdraw gradually

You receive the equivalent amount of APTESG immediately. Starting from day 1, you can withdraw 2% of your APTESG per day over 50 days. After 30 days, an additional 10% bonus in APTESG becomes claimable from the dApp.

Example: If you provide ETH equivalent to 1,000 APTESG at current price, you receive 1,000 APTESG and can withdraw 20 APTESG per day (2%) over 50 days. After 30 days, you can also claim an additional 100 APTESG bonus (10%), for a total of 1,100 APTESG.

Requirements
  • You must have ETH on the Arbitrum network to provide liquidity.
  • KYC verification is required before accessing the liquidity bonus.
  • The liquidity position is created by the smart contract and owned by the AppleTree Foundation โ€” you cannot withdraw the ETH.
  • The 10% bonus is claimable after 30 days, as shown in the dApp countdown.
  • APTESG withdrawal is capped at 2% per day over 50 days.
What you cannot do

You cannot withdraw the ETH you provided. The liquidity position is owned by the AppleTree Foundation and is used to support the APTESG/ETH pair on Uniswap at the protocol level.

You cannot receive trading fees from the Uniswap position. The fee mechanism is managed by the AppleTree Foundation, not distributed directly to individual participants.

You cannot participate if KYC verification has not been completed. This is a hard requirement enforced by the smart contract.

On-chain transparency

All liquidity logic is programmatic and governed by the smart contract on Arbitrum. The bonus timer, your withdrawal schedule, and pool status are all visible inside the dApp and verifiable on-chain.
