Frequently Asked Questions
What is a Solana liquidity pool?
A liquidity pool is a smart contract that holds a pair of tokens and enables decentralized trading on Raydium. By depositing your token alongside a quote token (like SOL or USDC), you create a market where users can buy and sell your token instantly.
What pool types are available on Raydium?
Raydium offers two pool types:
- Standard AMM: Uses the latest Constant Product Market Maker (CPMM) model, has lower fees, and supports both SPL and Token-2022 tokens. Recommended for most users.
- Legacy AMM v4: Creates an order book on OpenBook, has higher setup costs, and only supports SPL tokens. Required for some platforms.
Can I test pool creation on Devnet first?
Yes. Switch to Devnet mode to test the full pool creation flow with test tokens. This lets you verify token balances, price setup, fee tiers, and pool behavior before launching on Mainnet with real funds.
Should I pair my token with SOL or USDC?
It depends on your target audience:
- SOL: The most common choice because it's the native Solana token and widely held by users.
- USDC: Provides price stability and may appeal to traders who want to avoid SOL volatility.
How is the initial price of my token determined?
The initial price is set by the ratio of tokens you deposit. For example, depositing 1,000,000 tokens and 10 SOL sets the price at 0.00001 SOL per token. Calculate your desired ratio carefully before creating the pool.
What are fee tiers and how do I choose one?
Fee tiers determine the percentage fee traders pay on each swap, which is distributed to liquidity providers. Lower fees (0.1–0.25%) attract more trading volume, while higher fees (1%+) provide greater rewards per trade. 0.25% or 0.3% are common starting points.
Can I schedule my pool launch for a specific time?
Yes. The tool includes a schedule launch option that lets you set an exact date and time. This helps coordinate marketing and community announcements for a synchronized launch.
How much does it cost to create a pool?
DEXArea charges a platform fee of 0.10 SOL. You'll also pay Solana network fees, which vary by pool type—Legacy AMM v4 costs more due to OpenBook market creation.
Why didn't my liquidity pool name change after I updated my token symbol?
Because liquidity pool names are fixed at creation time and do not automatically update when token metadata changes.

What Does This Tool Do?
DEXArea's Create Pool tool lets you launch a liquidity pool for your tokens on Raydium with a simple, no-code flow. You can choose between Standard AMM, Legacy AMM v4, or CLMM (Concentrated Liquidity Market Maker)—each suited to different use cases.
Once your pool is live, traders can access your token through Raydium's liquidity and trading infrastructure. The tool supports SPL and Token-2022 tokens and works on Mainnet and Devnet.
Which Pool Type Should You Use?
Standard AMM: CPMM (Constant Product Market Maker) model. Best for most new tokens; supports Token-2022, no order book required. Simple and widely used.
Legacy AMM v4: Requires an OpenBook (order book) market ID. Use when you need the legacy Raydium AMM v4 setup for compatibility or existing integrations.
CLMM (Concentrated Liquidity): Lets LPs concentrate liquidity in a price range for higher capital efficiency and fee capture. You set an optional initial price; great for more advanced launches and when you want concentrated liquidity from day one.
Best practice: Test on Devnet first. For most new tokens, Standard AMM or CLMM are the common choices; use Legacy only if you have an existing OpenBook market.
How to Create a Pool (Step by Step)
1. Choose pool type — Select the tab: Standard AMM, Legacy AMM v4, or CLMM.
2. Connect your wallet — Use a wallet that holds the tokens you want to add (e.g., Phantom, Solflare).
3. Select base and quote tokens — Base is your token; quote is typically SOL, USDC, or USDT. For Legacy, you'll also need an OpenBook market ID.
4. Set fee tier and amounts — Pick a fee tier (e.g. 0.25%–4%). For CLMM you can set an optional initial price. Enter base and quote amounts; your ratio sets the starting price (or use CLMM initial price).
5. Optional: schedule launch — Enable a date and time to open the pool later.
6. Confirm and sign — Review the cost and approve the transaction in your wallet.
After creating a pool, you can add more liquidity, remove liquidity, or burn liquidity.
