Create a Liquidity Pool on Solana
A token nobody can trade is just a number in a wallet. A liquidity pool is what turns it into a market: you pair your token with SOL or USDC, deposit both sides, and from that moment anyone can buy or sell it. This page creates a Raydium pool from a form — you set the opening price, your wallet signs once, and the LP position lands where it belongs: with you.
The exact total — platform fee plus the real network cost — is quoted in the console before anything is signed.
Your deposit stays yours
The two amounts you deposit go into the pool’s own on-chain vaults — accounts owned by the Raydium program, not by us, and nothing we could reach if we wanted to. What you get back is the pool’s LP tokens, minted to your wallet: the on-chain receipt for your share of the pool. Keeping them or locking them is a separate decision, and this page’s job is to make sure it stays your decision.
The opening price is yours to get right
A brand-new token has no market price, so the ratio of your two deposits IS the price — there is nothing to check it against. Get it wrong and arbitrage corrects it within seconds of the pool opening, and the difference comes out of your deposit. The form shows the price implied by your amounts before you sign; take a moment with it, because the chain will not take a moment with you.
What it costs
Most of the cost of opening a Raydium pool is Raydium’s own: pool creation reserves a set of on-chain accounts and pays the protocol’s creation fee — around 0.15 SOL regardless of where you create the pool from. On top of that come the network fee and our flat service fee, and the full total is shown in SOL before you sign. The wallet prompt matches the number on the screen.
Lock it, or expect the question
The first thing a careful buyer asks about a new pool is whether the liquidity can vanish. While you hold the LP tokens you can withdraw the pool — which is exactly what a rug pull is, and every scanner points it out. Locking turns “trust me” into a fact anyone can verify on-chain: for a Raydium pool, Burn & Earn locks the liquidity permanently while its trading fees keep coming to you.
Questions
- Do I need to write code to create a liquidity pool?
- No. You pick the token, the quote side (SOL or USDC) and the two deposit amounts in a form. The app builds the Raydium transaction; your wallet signs it and owns the resulting LP position. We never hold your tokens at any step.
- Who sets my token’s price in the pool?
- You do, with the ratio of your deposits. Depositing 1,000,000 tokens against 10 SOL opens the pool at 0.00001 SOL per token. There is no reference price for a new token — check the implied price the form shows, because a mispriced pool is corrected by arbitrage at your expense.
- Can I withdraw my liquidity later?
- Yes — as long as you hold the LP tokens, they redeem for your share of the pool at any time. That flexibility is also exactly what buyers are wary of, which is why locking exists as a separate, deliberate step rather than a default.
- Which kind of pool does this create?
- A Raydium CPMM pool — the current-generation constant-product pool, tradeable on Raydium and picked up by aggregators. It does not need an OpenBook market ID, which older guides still tell you to pay for.
