Prerequisites

Step-by-Step Guide to Creating a Raydium Liquidity Pool
1. Connect Your Wallet
Open PandaTool’s liquidity pool creation page and connect your Phantom or OKX Web3 Wallet.
2. Enter OpenBook Market ID
- If you have an OpenBook market ID, input it and click "Check."
- If not, create one via PandaTool’s market creation page.
3. Select Base and Quote Tokens
- Base Token: Your SPL token (auto-detected via OpenBook ID).
- Quote Token: Paired token (e.g., SOL, USDT, USDC).
4. Specify Token Amounts
- Base Token Amount: Quantity of your token to add.
Quote Token Amount: Quantity of the paired token.
Example: Adding 100 tokens + 100 USDT sets an initial price of 1 USDT per token.
5. Set Trading Start Time
- Now: Pool goes live immediately.
- Custom Time: Schedule based on your timezone (e.g., UTC+8 for Singapore).
6. Confirm and Create
Click "Create Now," confirm the transaction in your wallet, and pay the fee (ensure sufficient SOL).

FAQs
