Add Liquidity to Your Solana Token
Pair your token with SOL in a Raydium pool. You sign once in your own wallet, there is no code to write, and trading opens as soon as the transaction confirms.

Create your tokenHow to Add Liquidity to a Solana Token
Until a pool exists, nobody can buy your token. This page opens a standard Raydium pool with your token on one side and SOL on the other. The amounts you deposit fix the opening price. We build the transaction, and your wallet signs it.
What happens after
- Anyone can buy or sell your token on Raydium straight away.
- You receive LP tokens representing your pool share.
- Each swap pays a 0.25% fee, and the trader pays it.
- Remove liquidity at any time from the Raydium UI.
Starting price formula
For example, 10 SOL paired with 1,000,000,000 tokens gives an opening price of 0.00000001 SOL per token. Double the SOL and the opening price doubles.
If the price moves a long way from where you opened, withdrawing returns a different mix of SOL and tokens than you put in (impermanent loss).

Three ways to set a starting price
A meme launch, most supply in the pool
Supply 1,000,000,000. Pool 900,000,000 tokens against 10 SOL. Starting price 0.000000011111 SOL per token, so the whole supply is valued at 11.11 SOL. 100,000,000 tokens sit outside the pool and count towards that value.
A smaller supply, deeper pool
Supply 100,000,000. Pool 80,000,000 tokens against 40 SOL. Starting price 0.0000005 SOL per token, so the whole supply is valued at 50 SOL. 20,000,000 tokens sit outside the pool and count towards that value.
Half the supply held back for vesting
Supply 1,000,000,000. Pool 500,000,000 tokens against 20 SOL. Starting price 0.00000004 SOL per token, so the whole supply is valued at 40 SOL. 500,000,000 tokens sit outside the pool and count towards that value.
The pattern: more SOL against the same tokens raises the price and deepens the pool. More tokens against the same SOL lowers the price. Tokens you keep outside the pool are the first thing buyers ask about, so have a reason for them. Plan the split with the tokenomics guide before you mint.
