Zap Mode is now live on Sushi, making liquidity provision (LPing) easier than ever. With Zap Mode, you can add liquidity to pools using any single token of your choice —no swapping, no balancing, no fuss. Sushi handles everything automatically behind the scenes, saving you time, gas fees, and unnecessary steps.
What is Zap Mode?
Traditionally, LPing required two tokens in the correct ratio. With Zap Mode, you can:
✅ Deposit a Single Token: Select any single token, and Sushi swaps and balances it for you.
✅ Skip the Hassle: No need to swap tokens or manually manage the token ratios.
✅ Save Gas Fees: Sushi optimizes the process, so you avoid extra swap transactions.
✅ Enjoy a Smoother UX: One token, one click, and you’re done.
Zap Mode is currently available on V2 and Smart Pools.
How It Works
Head to the Pool page on Sushi and click the dropdown arrow on the "I want to create a position" button. Then select "V2 Position" as Zap mode is currently only available on V2.
Select the network e.g. Base and the liquidity pool you like to provide liquidity into. e.g. TOSHI/ETH
Toggle on Zap Mode
Select a single token e.g. TOSHI from the selected token pair and enter the LP you want to provide liquidity.
Click "View Route" if you want to see how your deposit is split, swapped, and added to the liquidity pool. Or you can go straight to "Add Liquidity".
Here's what happens:
a. Splitting the deposit:
50% of TOSHI is swapped for WETH on SushiSwap.
50% remains as TOSHI (no swap needed).
b. Liquidity Addition:
The newly swapped WETH and the remaining TOSHI are deposited into SushiSwap V2.
The user receives SLP (Sushi Liquidity Provider) tokens in return.
Next, Approve the spending cap by clicking on "Approve (Token)"; then add the amount to approve on Metamask, or any wallet you use.
Confirm the transaction
Deposit in one click - Sushi handles the rest, swapping and balancing tokens automatically.
You can see your position under the Pool page when you select Base V2 position.
What’s Next?
Zap Mode launches with Smart Pools and V2 pools. We’re monitoring usage and performance to scale this feature to V3 pools soon.
This streamlined experience makes liquidity provision effortless, ensuring higher adoption and better capital efficiency for all Sushi users.
