Initialize AMM v4 pool
How to Set Up a Liquidity Pool
Start by selecting the token you’ve just created.
Specify how many tokens you want to allocate to the liquidity pool. (We recommend adding 95% or more.)
Choose a quote token — SOL is recommended.
Enter the amount of SOL you’d like to pair with your token. (We recommend at least 10 SOL.)
This is the legacy AmmV4 format, so the transaction also creates the OpenBook market your pool needs — you don't need to create one separately first. That extra step is why this costs more than the CPMM pool tool.
Click “Initialize Liquidity Pool” and approve the transaction. The CoinDevTools fee is 2 SOL, plus the OpenBook market's Solana rent-exempt balance.
Once completed, you’ll receive liquidity pool tokens. To burn liquidity so it appears locked, go to Burn Token.
Note: The initial amount of SOL you add to the pool will determine your token’s starting price.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is a Raydium AmmV4 pool?
Raydium AmmV4 is the original (v1) liquidity pool format on Solana. It requires an OpenBook (Serum v2) order-book market underneath it, unlike the modern CPMM (v2) format, which is self-contained. This tool creates the OpenBook market and the AmmV4 pool together in one flow — you do not need to use the separate OpenBook Market tool first.
Do I need an OpenBook market for an AmmV4 pool?
Yes — that is the defining difference from CPMM. An AmmV4 pool cannot exist without an OpenBook market. This tool creates that market for you as part of the same flow, which is why it costs more and takes more steps than the CPMM tool.
How much does it cost to create an AmmV4 pool?
Creating an AmmV4 pool costs 2 SOL in CoinDevTools platform fees plus the bundled OpenBook market's Solana rent-exempt balance (this tool always builds its market at the smallest size, about 0.3 SOL rent) and whatever liquidity you deposit — noticeably more than a CPMM pool, because a CPMM pool skips the OpenBook market entirely.
Does this tool support Token-2022 tokens?
No. Raydium's AmmV4 program does not support Token-2022 (Token Extensions) mints — only original SPL tokens. If your token uses Token-2022, use the CPMM pool tool instead, which does support it.
Should I use AmmV4 or CPMM for a new token launch?
Use CPMM for almost every new launch — it is cheaper, simpler (one transaction, no separate market), and works with all Jupiter/Raydium trading interfaces. Only use this AmmV4 tool if you specifically need an on-chain order book or are integrating with a tool that requires an OpenBook market.
