How to Create Liquidity Pool on Solana

The DEXArea Solana Liquidity Pool Creator lets you deploy Standard AMM and Legacy AMM v4 liquidity pools on Raydium directly from your browser.
All actions are handled by your connected wallet and confirmed on-chain (non‑custodial).

1. What It Does

  • Creates new liquidity pools on Raydium:
    • Standard AMM (Constant Product Market Maker) - supports both SPL and Token-2022 tokens
    • Legacy AMM v4 - supports SPL tokens only, requires market ID
  • Supports scheduled launches and optional token sniping features

2. Why Use DEXArea’s Pool Creator

  • Two-step process: 0.1 SOL platform fee + pool creation costs (plus network fees). Your wallet will show two separate confirmation prompts - first for the platform fee transaction, then for the pool creation.
  • No code required: A guided form handles pool creation, liquidity provision, and optional scheduling—no CLI/SDK needed.
  • Secure & fast: Wallet-native flow; you sign locally and confirmations typically land in seconds.
  • Flexible options: Choose between cost-effective Standard AMM or feature-rich Legacy AMM v4.

3. Quick Start

  1. Connect wallet and select Network .
  2. Choose pool type → Standard AMM or Legacy AMM v4.
  3. Fill the form → select tokens, set amounts, configure fees, and optional scheduling.
  4. Create on Mainnet → verify on Raydium → your pool is live and ready for trading.

4. Prerequisites

  • A Solana wallet with SOL for fees + 0.1 SOL platform fee.
  • Base tokens already created on Solana.
  • Quote tokens are SOL, RAY, or USDC (standard quote tokens).
  • For Legacy AMM v4: Market ID (required field).
  • Sufficient token balances for initial liquidity provision.

5. When to Use

  • Launch Standard AMM pools for cost-effective liquidity provision (supports SPL and Token-2022).
  • Create Legacy AMM v4 pools for advanced features like token sniping and market ID integration.
  • Standard AMM is cheaper and more suitable for most use cases.
  • Legacy AMM v4 offers additional features but is more expensive due to orderbook market requirements.

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 0.1 SOL platform fee transaction
  2. This transaction only handles the platform fee payment

Second Transaction - Pool Creation

  1. Pool creation confirmation: After the fee transaction confirms, your wallet prompts you to sign the pool creation transaction
  2. This transaction includes:
    • Pool creation (network fees in SOL)
    • Initial liquidity provision (your specified token amounts)
    • Optional scheduling (if enabled)

10. Troubleshooting & Advanced Tips

Common Issues

  • Insufficient funds — Ensure you have enough SOL for fees and sufficient token balances for liquidity.
  • Invalid market ID — For Legacy AMM v4, verify the market ID is valid.
  • Network congestion — When the network is busy, increase the priority fee to improve confirmation speed.
  • Token approval issues — Ensure your wallet has approved the necessary token allowances.

11. FAQ

Can I change the fee tier after creation? No—fee tiers are fixed at creation.

Why can’t I enable both Schedule Launch and Snip Your Token? These features are mutually exclusive to prevent conflicts.

Why do I need to confirm two transactions? The first transaction pays the 0.1 SOL platform fee, and the second creates the actual pool. This two-step process ensures proper fee collection and pool creation.

Can I create a pool with Token-2022 tokens using Legacy AMM v4? No, Legacy AMM v4 only supports standard SPL tokens.

What happens if my scheduled launch time passes? The pool will activate automatically at the scheduled time.

My transaction failed—was I charged the platform fee? If the first transaction (fee) fails, you won’t be charged. If the second transaction (pool creation) fails after the fee transaction succeeded, you will have paid the 0.1 SOL platform fee but the pool won’t be created. Contact support if this happens.
