How to Add Liquidity on Raydium. Make Your Token Tradeable
Creating a token is step one. Step two is making it tradeable. Without a liquidity pool on Raydium, nobody can buy or sell your token on Jupiter or DEX Screener. This guide shows you how to add liquidity in minutes using SolCraft - no code, no CLI.
How Initial Price Works
// Price formula
price = (SOL_amount × SOL_price_usd) ÷ token_amount
// Example: 5 SOL + 500M tokens, SOL = $100
= (5 × 100) ÷ 500,000,000 = $0.000001 per token
Step-by-Step
Open solcraft.app/liquidity
Connect your wallet. Make sure you're on Mainnet and have enough SOL for the pool (minimum ~0.5 SOL + your token amount).
Enter your token mint address
Paste your token mint. SolCraft fetches name, symbol, and supply automatically.
Choose CPMM pool type
Select CPMM (Constant Product MM) - the modern Raydium standard with lower fees than legacy AMM V4.
Set token and SOL amounts
The ratio of tokens to SOL determines your initial price. Example: 500M tokens + 5 SOL = $0.000001 at $100/SOL.
Approve and create
Click Create Pool and approve in your wallet. Within 30 seconds your pool is live on Raydium, visible on Jupiter and DEX Screener.
Common Mistakes
- Too little liquidity - high price impact, easy to manipulate
- Wrong ratio - bots immediately arbitrage unintended price
- Not revoking mint authority before listing - community red flag
- Using AMM V4 instead of CPMM - higher pool creation cost
