# Removing liquidity

Removing liquidity is a process of redeeming received [Liquidity Provider Tokens](https://docs.wingriders.com/glossary#liquidity-provider-token) back into the deposited tokens. By doing this, the user receives back their portion of the tokens locked in the liquidity pool.

The value of LP tokens is impacted by several factors over the time the liquidity is locked in the pool:

1. By accumulated [swap fees](https://docs.wingriders.com/glossary#swap-fee)
2. In the case of ADA/token pools also accumulated staking rewards
3. And lastly the change in the ratio of the [asset pair](https://docs.wingriders.com/glossary#asset-pair)

That means that the liquidity provider removing his liquidity may receive tokens in a different ratio. Since WingRiders currently uses a constant-function market maker, similar to other DEXes, the value of the liquidity pool tokens is susceptible to [impermanent loss](https://academy.binance.com/en/articles/impermanent-loss-explained).

A simple example of a liquidity removal can be seen in the following image:
