Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about liquidity pools and tokenomics on Solana.

A Constant Product AMM is the most popular automated market maker formula used by Raydium and other DEXs. It maintains a constant product (k) of two token reserves: SOL reserve × Token reserve = k. When you buy tokens, you add SOL and remove tokens, which increases the price. When you sell, the opposite happens. This creates automatic price discovery without order books.
Price impact is how much your trade moves the token price. Larger trades relative to pool size create higher price impact. For example, if you buy $1,000 worth of tokens from a $10,000 pool, you'll get worse pricing than from a $1,000,000 pool. High price impact (>5%) means you're paying significantly more than the current price. Use this simulator to test different trade sizes and ensure your pool has enough liquidity.
The amount depends on your target starting price and desired liquidity depth. Most successful launches start with 5-20 SOL. More liquidity means lower price impact for traders, which encourages buying. Calculate backwards: If you want a $0.001 starting price with 20% of supply in the pool (200M tokens), you'd need 10 SOL (200M tokens × $0.001 / $150 SOL price). Use this simulator to find the right balance.
Market Cap = Current price × Circulating supply (tokens in the pool or already traded). This is the "real" market value right now.

FDV (Fully Diluted Valuation) = Current price × Total supply (all tokens that will ever exist). This shows what the project would be worth if all tokens were circulating.

Large gaps between Market Cap and FDV indicate upcoming dilution from token unlocks. If FDV is 10x higher than Market Cap, 90% of tokens are still locked—which creates massive sell pressure when they unlock.
Generally, no. High taxes (>5%) are red flags for traders and prevent listings on major DEX aggregators like Jupiter. Taxes add friction and reduce trading volume. If you need revenue, consider alternative models like small reflections (1-2%) or sustainable tokenomics. Use the simulator to see how even small taxes eat into trader profits on round-trip trades.
15-30% is the sweet spot for most launches. Too little (<10%) creates extreme volatility and high slippage. Too much (>50%) means you're exposing too many tokens to immediate sell pressure. The remaining supply should be allocated to: team vesting (10-20%), marketing/treasury (15-25%), and community incentives (20-30%). Always use time-locked vesting schedules to prevent dumps.
Token unlocks increase circulating supply, which creates dilution. If you unlock 30% of supply, holders see their ownership percentage decrease by ~23% (30/(100+30)). This usually causes price drops unless demand increases proportionally. Best practice: Use gradual unlocks (cliff + linear vesting over 12-24 months) rather than large cliff unlocks. Add unlock events in the simulator to visualize dilution impact.
Raydium is a DEX where you create liquidity pools. It uses the constant product AMM formula (x·y=k) and offers both standard pools and concentrated liquidity (CLMM).

Jupiter is a DEX aggregator that finds the best prices across all Solana DEXs including Raydium, Orca, Meteora, etc. When you create a pool on Raydium, Jupiter automatically routes trades through it.

For launching: Create your pool on Raydium, and Jupiter will list it automatically within minutes.
0.5-1% for stable/liquid pools with deep liquidity.
1-3% for most new token launches with moderate liquidity.
5-10% for very low liquidity or volatile tokens.

Higher slippage means you accept worse pricing but your trade is more likely to go through. Too low = transaction reverts. Too high = you get sandwiched by MEV bots. Test your pool depth with this simulator to recommend appropriate slippage to your community.
Technically yes, but DON'T DO IT. Removing liquidity ("rug pull") destroys your token's value and reputation instantly. Legitimate projects burn LP tokens to prove liquidity is locked forever, or lock them in programs like Streamflow or Bonfida for 6-12+ months. If you need to remove liquidity for migration, announce it weeks in advance and provide a clear migration path. Use liquidity locker tools to build trust.
