What Is Liquidity Pool Creation on Solana?
Creating a liquidity pool ("加池" in Chinese) establishes a trading reservoir for your Solana token, enabling market transactions. This foundational step determines your token's tradability and valuation.
Key Benefits of Pool Creation:
- Trading Enablement: Tokens become swappable via decentralized exchanges
- Market Visibility: Appears on DexScreener and Ave with price charts
- Price Discovery: Potential value display (impossible without liquidity)
Prerequisites for Pool Creation
- Obtain market ID (for Raydium V2 pools)
- Maintain ≥0.6 SOL beyond pool contribution
- Install Phantom/OKX Web3 wallet
