Required Fields

  • Pool ID: Enter the unique identifier for the liquidity pool When you enter the pool ID, the tool automatically loads pool information including token names, current ratios, and pool type.

  • LP Token Amount: Amount of LP tokens to burn for withdrawing liquidity Enter the amount in human-readable units. This determines how much liquidity you’ll withdraw from the pool.

Pool Information (Auto-loaded)

When you enter a pool ID, the tool automatically displays:

  • Pool name and type
  • Token symbols and addresses
  • Current pool ratio between base and quote tokens
  • Your LP token balance in the pool
  • Estimated token returns you’ll receive when removing liquidity

Optional Settings

  • Priority Fee: Optional tip to validators for faster processing Higher fees can speed up confirmation during network congestion.

7. Confirmation Step

After filling the form, your wallet will prompt you for two separate confirmations:

First Transaction - Platform Fee

  1. Fee confirmation: Your wallet prompts you to sign the 0.05 SOL platform fee transaction
  2. This transaction only handles the platform fee payment

Second Transaction - Remove Liquidity

  1. Liquidity confirmation: After the fee transaction confirms, your wallet prompts you to sign the remove liquidity transaction
  2. This transaction includes:
    • LP token burning from your wallet
    • Token transfers from the liquidity pool back to your wallet
    • Network fees in SOL

9. Important Notices / Risks

Pool Type Considerations

  • Raydium Standard AMM (CPMM): Constant Product Market Maker pools with predictable withdrawal behavior
  • Legacy AMM v4: Advanced AMM pools with enhanced features and potentially different withdrawal mechanics
  • Pool compatibility: The tool automatically detects and works with both pool types

10. Troubleshooting & Advanced Tips

Common Issues

  • “Pool not found” — Check the pool ID and ensure it exists on the selected network
  • “Insufficient LP tokens” — Ensure you have enough LP tokens in your wallet
  • “Insufficient SOL” — Add SOL to your wallet for platform fee (0.05 SOL) + transaction fees
  • “Slippage too high” — The pool ratio has changed significantly, try reducing the LP token amount
  • “Transaction failed” — Check network congestion and try increasing priority fee

11. FAQ

What happens to my LP tokens when I remove liquidity? Your LP tokens are burned (destroyed) when you remove liquidity, and you receive the underlying base and quote tokens in return.

Can I remove partial liquidity? Yes, you can specify any amount of LP tokens to burn, allowing you to remove only a portion of your liquidity position.

How do I know how many tokens I’ll receive? The tool shows estimated returns before you confirm the transaction, but final amounts depend on the pool ratio at execution time.

What if the pool has low liquidity? Low liquidity pools may experience higher slippage, meaning you might receive fewer tokens than expected.

Can I remove liquidity from any pool? You can only remove liquidity from pools where you have LP tokens representing your share.

What if my transaction fails? If the first transaction (fee) fails, you won’t be charged. If the second transaction (remove liquidity) fails after the fee transaction succeeded, you will have paid the 0.05 SOL platform fee but no liquidity will be removed. Contact support if this happens.
