How to Add Liquidity to a Solana Token

Short answer

Adding liquidity deposits your token (base) plus a quote asset (SOL, WSOL, USDC, USDT, or another SPL token held in your connected wallet) into a Raydium CPMM pool. You receive LP tokens representing pool ownership. MakeMeACoin /lp creates new Raydium CPMM pools only — not Orca, Meteora, or adding to existing pools.

Your token minted but cannot trade until a pool exists. Wrong deposit ratio sets the wrong opening price — and that price is hard to undo without pulling LP.

Key facts

  • Complete Metaplex metadata and revoke freeze authority (/launch-tools/revoke) — active freeze blocks most public pools.
  • Open /lp, select your mint, and sol, wsol, usdc, usdt, or another spl token held in your connected wallet as the quote token.
  • Enter base and quote deposit amounts — this ratio sets initial price irreversibly for the pool lifetime unless you remove LP.

What this means

Price example: deposit 900,000,000 tokens + 10 SOL → opening price ≈ 10 SOL ÷ 900M tokens (adjust for decimals). If you deposit 1M tokens + 1 SOL by mistake, opening market cap is 1000× lower than intended — buyers who enter first capture the error. WSOL: when SOL is the quote side, /lp wraps native SOL automatically. Slippage on the first swaps depends on pool depth relative to trade size. Platform fee: 0.1 SOL (shown before sign) plus ~0.2 SOL Raydium rent and your liquidity deposit.

Step-by-step

  1. Complete Metaplex metadata and revoke freeze authority (/launch-tools/revoke) — active freeze blocks most public pools.
  2. Open /lp, select your mint, and sol, wsol, usdc, usdt, or another spl token held in your connected wallet as the quote token.
  3. Enter base and quote deposit amounts — this ratio sets initial price irreversibly for the pool lifetime unless you remove LP.
  4. Connect wallet and sign pool creation (0.1 SOL platform fee + rent + deposit txs as shown).
  5. Save LP token receipt and pool address from Solscan.
  6. Optionally lock LP in Streamflow/Team Finance or burn to incinerator — MMAC does not perform lock/burn for you.
  7. Refresh Launch Score — liquidity depth and custody affect tradeability signals.

Common mistakes

  • Setting opening price via wrong token/SOL ratio — most expensive irreversible launch mistake.
  • Creating pool with active freeze authority.
  • Depositing <3–5 SOL equivalent total — thin pools get skipped by aggregators.
  • Claiming Orca/Meteora support on MMAC — production UI exposes Raydium CPMM creation only.

This does not

  • guarantee token safety
  • guarantee price performance
  • replace independent verification
  • provide financial advice

FAQ

Which pool types does MakeMeACoin support?

Raydium CPMM only via /lp. Orca and Meteora require their native UIs.

How is initial price determined?

By your deposit ratio at pool creation — not by typing a dollar price.

What does the LP platform fee cover?

0.1 SOL MMAC fee for guided CPMM creation. Pool rent and liquidity deposit are separate on-chain costs.
