Initialize Liquidity
Steps to Set Up a Liquidity Pool
Choose the token you recently created.
Specify how many tokens you want to add to the liquidity pool (we suggest using 95% or more of your supply).
Pick a quote token — SOL is recommended.
Input the amount of SOL you want to pair with your token (10+ SOL is typically recommended).
Choose your LP fee rate. Liquidity providers receive 84% of trading fees for each swap in the pool, while 16% goes to Raydium (0.25% is a common choice).
Click “Initialize Liquidity Pool” and confirm the transaction. The CoinDevTools fee is 1.85 SOL, plus about 0.19 SOL that Raydium itself charges directly for new pool accounts and its own pool-creation fee.
You’ll receive liquidity pool tokens in return. To burn your liquidity so it appears locked, head to Burn Token.
Note: The amount of SOL you commit as initial liquidity sets the starting price of your token.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is a Raydium CPMM pool?
A Raydium CPMM (Concentrated Position Market Maker) pool is the modern v2 liquidity pool format on Solana. Unlike legacy AmmV4 pools, CPMM pools can be created in a single transaction without needing an OpenBook market first — making them the simplest and cheapest way to list a token on Raydium.
How much does it cost to create a Raydium pool?
The Raydium CPMM pool creation costs 1.85 SOL in CoinDevTools fees, plus about 0.19 SOL that Raydium itself charges directly for new pool accounts and its own pool-creation fee, plus whatever liquidity you deposit. For a new token launch, you typically pair your token with SOL in the amount you want as initial liquidity.
Do I need an OpenBook market for a CPMM pool?
No. That's the key advantage of CPMM over legacy AmmV4 pools. CPMM creates everything needed for trading in one transaction — no separate OpenBook market required, reducing cost and complexity.
