# Providing Liquidity

Once you've selected a market (see [Testnet UI Walkthrough](https://element-2.gitbook.io/element-docs/element-protocol/testnet-ui-walkthrough)) you can add or remove liquidity from it.

Once the transaction is executed on the blockchain your position will be closed. You can still see its details under the **Closed** tab.
{% endtab %}

{% tab title="Delayed Withdrawals" %}
If you've tried to remove liquidity that was being utilized to back open user positions, you may have started a [Delayed Withdrawal](https://element-2.gitbook.io/element-docs/element-protocol/testnet-ui-walkthrough/broken-reference) process. If there is no unutilized liquidity available to withdraw, the **Redeem** button will appear disabled:

Once liquidity becomes available, you can complete your delayed withdrawal process:
