Create Liquidity Pool Solana (Create LP)

Create a Solana liquidity pool for your token from one terminal, with Raydium, Orca, Meteora and PumpSwap routes and a cost preview before you sign.

Create LP opens a new liquidity pool for your Solana token straight from your browser wallet on mainnet. You pick the DEX and pool type, pair your token with SOL or USDC, set the deposit amounts and opening price, and the platform fee for that route shows up before you sign.

Open tool →

Platform fee: 0.05–0.15 SOL; route-dependent. Network fee, rent and transaction value are separate.

When this tool fits

  • You just minted a token (often with Token Creator) and need a pool before anyone can trade it.

  • You are a token team or operator launching a fresh market for your project.

  • You want to compare pool structures (Raydium's Standard AMM and CLMM, Meteora's DLMM, Orca's Whirlpool) from one place instead of three DEX sites.

Before you start

  • A connected wallet (how to connect) holding both the base token and the quote you plan to pair it with.

  • Enough SOL for the platform fee, the DEX pool-creation cost, account rent, and the network fee. The app runs a preflight against your fresh balances before it signs.

  • An existing token to use as the base mint. If you do not have one yet, mint it with Token Creator first.

  • A clear idea of your opening price, since the deposit ratio sets it. Decide how much of each side you want to commit before you start.

  • For Raydium Legacy AMM V4 without auto-create-market: an existing OpenBook Market ID.

How to use it

1

1. Pick DEX and pool mode

Connect a wallet (or wallet source) at the top of the page. Simple mode applies smart defaults: it auto-picks a fee tier for the pair it detects and sets a sensible start time, hiding the deeper inputs.

2

2. Configure pair, amounts and fees

Enter the base token mint and pick the quote token from the per-DEX allowlist (SOL by default, with stablecoins and a few others depending on the DEX) or choose a Custom Mint. The initial price is derived from your quote-to-base ratio.

3. Review the preview and create

Choose the swap-fee tier from the selected DEX's list. Optionally schedule a future start time on DEXs that support it.

Key settings

  • DEX and pool type: Which DEX plus pool model you launch on. Defaults to Raydium Standard AMM, the recommended route.

  • Config mode: Simple applies smart defaults and hides advanced inputs. Advanced exposes start time, manual price, fee mode, and the per-DEX controls.

  • Base mint: Your token, the asset the pool is built around. Can be pre-filled from a ?token= URL.

  • Quote mint: The asset your token is priced against. Chosen from a per-DEX allowlist (SOL by default, plus stablecoins on some DEXs) or a Custom Mint.

  • Base and quote amounts: The starting liquidity on each side. Their ratio sets the opening price, so this is where you actually decide the launch price.

  • Initial price: The opening price. Auto from the ratio, a manual override in Advanced mode, or an on-chain estimate via Use Market Price.

  • Fee tier: The swap fee traders pay on every trade in this pool. Allowed values come from the selected DEX. Higher tiers earn more per trade but can scare off volume.

  • Tick / bin step and price range: Concentrated routes only. The step size plus a required min and max active price range. Presets (Full, Balanced, Tight) can fill it from the reference price.

  • Start time: Start trading now or at a future time, on DEXs that support an open time.

  • Market ID / auto-create market: Raydium AMM V4 only. Link an existing OpenBook Market ID and the run is a single approval. Have the tool create the market instead and it adds about 0.35 SOL of OpenBook account rent and takes the run to four approvals. Auto-created market runs cannot be resumed: if one fails part-way, the next attempt mints a brand-new market and the rent already spent is gone.

  • Per-DEX fee controls: Meteora exposes a pool-type profile, fee mode, base fee in bps, dynamic fee, scheduler, and collection token. Orca exposes an adaptive-fee toggle.

How Create LP works

Before you sign

Check the live summary before signing. The app is the current source of truth for amount, fee and route.

Common issues

  • Route not live. If you picked a coming-soon route, the tool stops before any signature. Switch to Raydium Standard AMM or another live route.

  • Price range missing or invalid. Concentrated routes need a range with min above 0 and max above min. The Create button stays disabled until the range is set, so you do not pay for the pool and then fail the position step.

  • Liquidity goes out of range. On a concentrated pool, once the price leaves your chosen band your liquidity stops earning fees and sits entirely on one side. Plan to widen the range or re-center the position if the market moves, or use a full-range route if you do not want to manage it.

  • Impermanent loss. When the price moves after you deposit, arbitrage trades shift the balance of your two assets, and you can end up with less value than if you had simply held both tokens. The fees you earn are meant to offset this, but a sharp one-way move can outweigh them. This applies to every AMM pool and is sharper on concentrated ranges.

  • Wrong opening price. The deposit ratio is the price. If the pool launches at a price you did not intend, double-check the base and quote amounts; the ratio, not a typed number, decides where trading starts.

  • DLMM range too wide. A DLMM position covers at most 70 price bins. A wider range is rejected before anything is sent, with the code LP_RANGE_TOO_WIDE. Tighten the range, raise the bin step, or use a preset.

  • Token-2022 with a transfer fee or hook. These trigger a non-blocking risk warning. Pool math does not net out transfer fees, and many pools reject hooked tokens, so creation can fail on-chain or behave oddly. See SPL vs Token-2022 for which extensions cause trouble in pools.

  • Lost the Pool ID. The result dialog is the only place it appears, with no recovery screen. Save it when it shows, or look the pool up later in My Pools.

About wallet warnings. Some tools bundle several instructions into one transaction, for example creating a token and its metadata together. Phantom can show a caution banner for these transactions. The banner is expected here and does not mean something is wrong. Read what you are signing, then approve.
