Create a Solana Liquidity Pool
Seed a first pool so your token is tradeable, at a starting price you choose.
Wallet not connected
Connect your wallet to create a liquidity pool. You sign every action yourself, and nothing is custodial.
Common questions
Can I create a pool on mainnet with this?
Yes. Switch the top bar to Mainnet and the pool is created for real. This has been done for real: in August 2026 a pool was created with this tool on mainnet, added to and withdrawn from, and every amount was checked against the chain afterwards. It is still built on an alpha Raydium SDK, and setting a starting price is a one-way decision, so rehearse the whole flow on Testnet first if you have not done it before. Your browser also verifies the server's transaction against the quote before your wallet signs it, and refuses anything that moves more SOL than you were shown.
How is the starting price decided?
By the ratio of the two amounts you seed the pool with, and nothing else. If you put in one million tokens and ten SOL, the starting price is ten SOL per million tokens. There is no separate price field, because in a constant-product pool the price is the ratio. Getting that ratio wrong is the single most expensive mistake available on this page.
What is a CPMM pool, and do I need an OpenBook market?
CPMM is Raydium's constant-product pool. It does not need an OpenBook market ID: that is a requirement of the older Standard AMM, and creating one costs a few SOL in rent you do not get back. If a guide tells you to make an OpenBook market first, check which pool type it is describing before you spend anything.
Why is the transaction built on your server?
Because Raydium's pool construction needs data and SDK work that does not belong in a browser bundle. It does not make this custodial: the transaction comes back to your browser, is checked against the quote you were shown before anything is signed, and is then signed by your wallet. If it does not match the quote, it is not signed.
Can I get my liquidity back after creating a pool?
Yes, unless you burn the LP tokens. Seeding a pool gives you LP tokens representing your claim on it, and you can withdraw with the Add or Remove Liquidity tool. Burning those LP tokens is what makes the liquidity permanent, and that is a separate, deliberate action.
Do I need a liquidity pool at all?
You need one if you want your token to be tradeable. Until a pool exists, there is nowhere to buy or sell it and the price is undefined. A token with no pool is not broken; it just has no market.
What a liquidity pool is
Two piles of tokens in a shared account anyone can trade against: you seed your token and some SOL, and the pool buys and sells from then on. The price is not a setting, it is the ratio of the two piles, so your only price decision is the ratio you start with. Pool creation runs on mainnet and testnet, and a real pool has been created, funded and withdrawn here on mainnet: still rehearse on Testnet first, because the starting price has no edit button.
Next: Add / Remove Liquidity, make it permanent with Burn LP Tokens, or see how it reads to a buyer with the Rug Checker.
