🐣Create a New Pool
The pool creation function allows you to initialize a new liquidity pool for a trading pair that does not yet exist on the platform. By creating a pool, you enable trading for the selected pair and earn fees based on your chosen fee tier. This step-by-step guide explains how to create a new pool on Monday Trade.
Steps to Create a Liquidity Pool (Add Liquidity to a New Pool)
Select Tokens for the Pair On the Monday Trade interface, navigate to the "Pool" panel and select "New Pool." Choose two tokens to form the trading pair (e.g., MON and WETH). Use the token selector to search for and add the desired tokens.
Choose the Fee Tier Select the fee tier for the new pool, which determines the trading fees you’ll earn as a liquidity provider. Available options are: 0.03%, 0.05%, 0.3%, and 1%.
After selecting the token pair and fee tier, the platform will check if a pool already exists for the chosen pair and fee tier. If the pool exists, you will see an "Add Liquidity to an Existing Pool" option. You will then be redirected to the existing pool’s interface to add liquidity. Follow the steps in our How to Provide Liquidity guide to proceed. If no pool exists, continue to the next steps to create a new pool.
Set the Initial Price Enter the initial price for the trading pair, which sets the starting price at which the pool will begin facilitating trades.
Adjust the Price Range Monday Trade shows you the current price that the token is trading at. Click on ‘Use market price’ to use the current market price for the token. It’s recommended to use the current market price to ensure efficient trading and minimize early imbalances in the pool.
Enter Deposit Amount Input the amount of one token (e.g., MON or WETH) to deposit into the pool. The platform will automatically calculate the corresponding amount of the other token based on the initial price and price range.
For in-range positions, you’ll provide both tokens proportionally.
For out-of-range positions, you’ll provide only one token, as indicated by the interface.
Approve Tokens (First-Time Only) If this is your first time using one or both tokens for liquidity on Monday Trade, click "Approve [Token Symbol]" (e.g., "Approve MON" or "Approve WETH") for each token. Confirm the approval transactions in your wallet to authorize Monday Trade to access your tokens.
Review and Create Pool Review the pool details, including the token pair, fee tier, initial price, price range, and token amounts. Click "Add Liquidity to a New Pool" and approve the transaction in your wallet. Wait for confirmation on the Monad network.
Once confirmed, your new liquidity pool will be active, and your position will appear in the "Your Liquidity" tab under "Portfolio". You can monitor the pool’s performance, collect fees, or manage your position as described in our How to Manage LP Positions guide.
