How to Remove a liquidity pool on Uniswap: Blockchain-by-Blockchain Guide

When withdrawing liquidity from a liquidity pool on Uniswap, speed and safety matter. Any delay or failed step can change the amount you withdraw, which means you lose money.

In this guide, we’ll show you how to remove a liquidity pool on Uniswap across several blockchains: Ethereum, Base, Polygon, Avax (Avalanche), Blast, and Arbitrum.

Click the blockchain you want to withdraw liquidity from on Uniswap, and you’ll jump straight to the step-by-step guide.

What to Know Before Removing Liquidity from Uniswap

We know that removing liquidity from a liquidity pool on Uniswap can be tricky, especially because it can seriously damage your project’s credibility. So even though Smithii protects your privacy, removing liquidity should be a decision agreed on by investors and reserved for cases where the funds are at risk.

Doing this to take the money is illegal and unethical, so we strongly recommend you never use it for that purpose (you would likely make more with legitimate projects anyway). If you do, you could face criminal consequences. Smithii is not responsible for how our tools are used.

Before removing Uniswap liquidity from your token, we recommend keeping these points in mind:

• If your goal is to fix the launch, you can remove only part of the liquidity instead of 100%.
• You do not need the contract address. Just select the token and you can do it without issues.

With that covered, let’s see how to remove liquidity on each Uniswap blockchain in 1 click.

Now that you have the wallet you used to add the initial liquidity on Uniswap and you have enough LP tokens to manage the liquidity pool, all that is left is to withdraw the funds. Here is how to do it on each blockchain.
