Add Liquidity on Solana Guide

Introduction

The Dexarea Solana Add Liquidity tool lets you add liquidity to existing Solana liquidity pools directly from your browser.
All actions are handled by your connected wallet and confirmed on-chain (non‑custodial).

7. Confirmation Step

After filling the form, your wallet will prompt you for two separate confirmations:

First Transaction - Platform Fee

  1. Fee confirmation: Your wallet prompts you to sign the 0.07 SOL platform fee transaction
  2. This transaction only handles the platform fee payment

Second Transaction - Add Liquidity

  1. Liquidity confirmation: After the fee transaction confirms, your wallet prompts you to sign the add liquidity transaction
  2. This transaction includes:
    • Token transfers to the liquidity pool
    • LP token minting to your wallet
    • Network fees in SOL

9. Important Notices / Risks

Pool Type Considerations

  • Raydium Standard AMM (CPMM): Constant Product Market Maker pools with proven stability and predictable behavior
  • Legacy AMM v4: Advanced AMM pools with enhanced features and potentially higher fee structures
  • Pool compatibility: The tool automatically detects and works with both pool types

10. Troubleshooting & Advanced Tips

Common Issues

  • “Pool not found” — Check the pool ID and ensure it exists on the selected network
  • “Insufficient tokens” — Ensure you have enough of both base and quote tokens
  • “Insufficient SOL” — Add SOL to your wallet for platform fee (0.07 SOL) + transaction fees
  • “Slippage too high” — The pool ratio has changed significantly, try adjusting amounts
  • “Transaction failed” — Check network congestion and try increasing priority fee

11. FAQ

What is impermanent loss? Impermanent loss occurs when the price ratio of your tokens changes after providing liquidity, potentially resulting in fewer tokens than if you had held them separately.

Can I remove my liquidity anytime? Yes, you can remove liquidity at any time, but you’ll receive tokens based on the current pool ratio.

How do I earn fees? You earn a portion of trading fees proportional to your share of the pool. Fees are automatically added to your position.

What happens if the pool gets hacked? Your funds could be at risk. Only provide liquidity to pools you trust and have researched.

Can I provide liquidity with any token pair? You can only provide liquidity to pools that already exist. The tool supports Raydium Standard AMM (CPMM) and Legacy AMM v4 pools. You cannot create new pools with this tool.

What if my transaction fails? If the first transaction (fee) fails, you won’t be charged. If the second transaction (add liquidity) fails after the fee transaction succeeded, you will have paid the 0.07 SOL platform fee but no liquidity will be added. Contact support if this happens.
