How a one-off transaction becomes a liquidity position
To become a liquidity provider, the traditional process usually requires first swapping some of your tokens into another token, meeting the pool’s required ratio, and then depositing both tokens together. In other words, it’s two steps—two transaction fees—and it also takes a bit more time to confirm that the transaction is successful. You also have to monitor both operations yourself to make sure they both go through.
The Zap feature at #Cetus streamlines this process into a single transaction. Users only need to provide a single token, and the system will perform the swap and deposit within the same operation—directly creating the liquidity position—without having to switch back and forth across multiple screens to check statuses.
For people who already understand concentrated liquidity but find manual operations too tedious, this approach saves both time and transaction fees—especially when the network is congested and per-transaction fees are relatively high. The difference becomes even more noticeable when one less step is involved.
Before using it, it’s still worth checking the exchange rate at the time the system performs the swap, since the final deposited share will move with market prices and may not exactly match the numbers you estimated before the operation.
