Are you having trouble checking the liquidity of a token on Uniswap? Maybe you're new to the platform and not sure where to start. Either way, don't stress! In this guide, we'll provide you with step-by-step instructions on how to check the liquidity of a token on Uniswap.

What is Liquidity in Crypto Trading?

Liquidity refers to how actively a token is being traded (buy & sell) in the market. Put another way, it's how easily you can change a cryptocurrency into different type of cryptocurrency without having a big impact on the price.

When a cryptocurrency is more liquid, it's easier to buy and sell, and the difference between the highest price a buyer is willing to pay and the lowest price a seller is willing to accept (known as the bid-ask spread) is narrower.

Decentralized exchanges allow you to add liquidity to pools by adding a pair of two tokens. All you need to do is select the tokens you want to add and deposit them into the liquidity pool. This provides liquidity to the pool and allows others to trade the tokens, and you get liquidity fee.
