How to Create a Raydium CPMM Pool — Step-by-Step Tutorial (2026)

To create a Raydium CPMM pool, go to SolTokenCreator.io/create-liquidity-pool, select CPMM as the pool type, choose your token paired with SOL, set your deposit amounts (which determines initial price), and create the pool. No OpenBook Market ID is required. Cost: approximately 0.3 SOL plus your deposited liquidity.

What Is a CPMM Pool?

CPMM stands for Constant Product Market Maker — the most common type of automated market maker (AMM) pool. It uses the formula x * y = k, where x and y are the reserves of two tokens and k is a constant. When someone buys your token, they add SOL to the pool and receive your token, changing the ratio and increasing the price.

CPMM vs AMM V4

| Feature | CPMM | AMM V4 | |---------|------|--------| | OpenBook Market ID | Not required | Required (2.33 SOL) | | Total cost | ~0.3 SOL | ~2.63 SOL | | Token-2022 support | Yes | No | | Setup complexity | Simple (1 step) | Complex (2 steps) | | Fee tiers | Multiple options | Fixed | | Trading experience | Standard swaps | Order book + AMM | | Jupiter routing | Yes | Yes | | DexScreener listing | Automatic | Automatic |

For most token launches, CPMM is the recommended choice. It is cheaper, simpler, and supports Token-2022.

Step-by-Step Tutorial

Step 1: Prepare

Before creating the pool, ensure you have:

• A Solana token (create at SolTokenCreator.io)
• Authorities revoked (revoke here)
• Tokens in your wallet (the amount you want in the pool)
• SOL for liquidity (the amount that determines initial price)
• At least 0.3 SOL extra for pool creation fees

Step 2: Go to Pool Creator

Navigate to SolTokenCreator.io/create-liquidity-pool and connect your wallet.

Step 3: Select CPMM

Choose CPMM as the pool type. This is the top option and does not require a Market ID.

Step 4: Select Token Pair

1. Select your token (paste mint address if not in dropdown)
2. Select SOL as the pair token

Step 5: Set Deposit Amounts

Enter how many of your tokens and how much SOL to deposit. The ratio determines the initial price:

Example with 1 billion total supply:

| Tokens Deposited | SOL Deposited | Initial Price | Initial Market Cap (at $150/SOL) | |-----------------|---------------|---------------|----------------------------------| | 800,000,000 | 5 SOL | 0.00000000625 SOL | ~$938 | | 800,000,000 | 20 SOL | 0.000000025 SOL | ~$3,750 | | 800,000,000 | 50 SOL | 0.0000000625 SOL | ~$9,375 | | 800,000,000 | 100 SOL | 0.000000125 SOL | ~$18,750 |

Tip: Most meme coin launches deposit 80-100% of supply with 5-50 SOL.

Step 6: Choose Fee Tier

CPMM pools offer multiple fee tiers:

• 0.01% — Very low fee (high volume pairs)
• 0.05% — Low fee
• 0.25% — Standard (recommended for most tokens)
• 1% — High fee (low volume / exotic pairs)

0.25% is recommended for new token launches. It balances trading costs with LP revenue.

Step 7: Create Pool

Click Create Pool and approve the transaction in your wallet. The pool is live immediately.

Step 8: Verify

1. Search your token on Raydium — the pool should appear
2. Check Jupiter — your token should be swappable within minutes
3. Check DexScreener — your token should appear within 5-15 minutes

After Pool Creation

Burn LP Tokens (Recommended)

Go to SolTokenCreator.io/burn-lp-tokens to permanently lock your liquidity. This proves you cannot rug pull and improves your RugCheck score.

Claim DexScreener Page

Once your token appears on DexScreener, claim your page to add logo, description, and social links.

Monitor Trading

Watch your pool on DexScreener or Birdeye for:

• Trading volume
• Price movement
• Holder count
• Liquidity depth

Troubleshooting

Pool creation failed:

• Ensure you have at least 0.5 SOL (0.3 for pool + gas buffer)
• Check that no pool already exists for this token pair
• Verify the correct token is selected
• See LP creation troubleshooting

Token not showing on Jupiter after pool creation:

• Wait 5-10 minutes for Jupiter to index the pool
• Verify the pool exists on Raydium

Low liquidity warning:

• More SOL = better trading experience
• Under 5 SOL will have very high slippage
• See how much liquidity to add
