Can I withdraw my liquidity at any time?

Yes, as long as the pool is still active.

Is it legal to withdraw liquidity from a liquidity pool?

It depends. If you are doing it to fix an error, patch a detected vulnerability, or with the approval of the other investors (for the good of the project or to compensate all investors), you can remove liquidity.

On the other hand, if your goal is to profit at everyone else’s expense, you are committing an illegal and immoral act. Your reputation in web3 will take a serious hit, and you could face legal consequences. At Smithii, we are not responsible for how you use our tools.

You will only receive the token left in the pool until the price moves back into your range.
