Introduction

This tutorial provides a comprehensive guide on how to create a Solana token and set up a liquidity pool using Orion Tools and Raydium V3. This updated beginner-friendly approach will walk you through each step, ensuring you understand how to launch your token successfully.

Step 1: Setting Up Your Wallet

• Start by creating a Solana wallet if you don’t already have one. You can use Phantom or Sollet.
• Fund your wallet with some SOL tokens to cover transaction fees. You can purchase SOL from exchanges like Binance or Coinbase.

Step 2: Creating Your Token

• Navigate to Orion Tools.
• Select the option to create a new token.
• Fill in the necessary details for your token:
  • Token Name
  • Token Symbol
  • Total Supply
  • Decimal Places
• Review your inputs and confirm the creation of your token.
• After the token is created, make sure to save your token’s contract address for future use.

Step 3: Creating a Liquidity Pool

• Go to Raydium Liquidity Pools.
• Click on the option to create a new liquidity pool.
• Input your token’s contract address and select the corresponding pair (e.g., SOL/YourToken).
• Specify the amount of liquidity you want to provide:
  • Enter the amounts for both tokens in the pair (ensure they are balanced according to the current market rates).
• Confirm the transaction and wait for it to process.

Step 4: Adding Liquidity

• Once the liquidity pool is created, you’ll need to add liquidity.
• Go back to the Raydium interface and navigate to your liquidity pool.
• Click on the 'Add Liquidity' option.
• Enter the amount of your token and the paired token you wish to add.
• Confirm the transaction and ensure it completes successfully.

Step 5: Monitoring Your Pool

• Use DexScreener to monitor new pairs and track the performance of your liquidity pool.
• Keep an eye on the volume and price movements to make informed decisions about your liquidity.

Step 6: Managing LP Tokens

• After adding liquidity, you will receive LP (Liquidity Provider) tokens representing your share in the pool.
• If you want to burn your LP tokens, visit Sol-Incinerator.
• Follow the instructions on the site to burn your LP tokens.
