Liquidity

Liquidity is what makes your token tradable. For anyone to buy or sell $YOURS, there has to be a pool on a decentralized exchange (DEX) that holds some of your tokens paired with a base asset like ETH or SOL. That pool is your token's "market" — its size sets how much can trade before the price moves, and the ratio you seed it with sets the opening price.

You don't need to be a DeFi expert. This page explains your options in plain language and helps you pick the one that fits.

The one-sentence version

If you want people to be able to buy your token, you need a liquidity pool. You can set one up at launch (plan it in the creation wizard, then add it in one click right after mint) or any time later (from your token manager). You can also lock the pool tokens to prove you won't pull the rug.

Do you even need it?

Not every token needs liquidity right away:

• Community or reward token, no trading yet? Launch it non-tradable and add liquidity later when you're ready. Nothing breaks — your token page, holder tools, and metadata all work without a pool.
• Want it tradable from minute one? Seed a pool at launch so buyers can trade the moment it mints.
• Already launched and want a market now? Add liquidity from your token manager (see below).

How much can you add? (supply & decimals)

When you add liquidity you enter an amount of your token to pair with ETH/SOL. That amount is in whole tokens, and it has to be no more than your wallet holds. Two ideas trip up first-timers:

• Total supply is a count of whole tokens. If you launched with a supply of 1,000,000, then one million whole tokens exist — and at launch, you hold them. You can pair up to that many as liquidity.
• "Decimals" are precision, not quantity. Decimals (18 on EVM, 9 on Solana by convention) let each token divide into tiny fractions — like cents in a dollar. They don't change how many tokens you have. You always work in whole tokens — for transfers, for liquidity, everywhere — and never have to think about the "base units" underneath.

Adding more than you hold

The most common "Create Pair" failure is entering a bigger number than your wallet actually holds — for example, trying to seed 10 tokens when you only hold a fraction of one. The app checks your balance before anything is signed, so you never waste gas on a pool that can't be funded. If you see "you're adding X but this wallet holds Y," lower the amount — or you set the supply smaller than you meant at launch.

Your three options

1. Plan liquidity at launch (in the wizard)

The creation wizard's Liquidity step is where you set the plan:

• Supply % paired — how much of your total supply goes into the pool; the rest stays in your wallet. 50% is a common starting point: higher means a deeper, more stable market, lower keeps more tokens for you (airdrops, treasury, team).
• Native amount — how much ETH / SOL / etc. you pair alongside those tokens. Together with the supply %, this sets your opening price.

Your token launches first, then you add the liquidity from your own wallet as a quick next step. The moment the mint finishes, an "Add liquidity now →" button takes you straight to Create Pair with these amounts already filled in — one click and your pool is live. Prefer to wait? Skip the step to launch non-tradable and add liquidity anytime later.

2. Add liquidity later (from your token manager)

Open your token manager and find the owner-only Liquidity section. There you can:

• Pick the chain — add liquidity on any chain you own the token on, right from the Liquidity section; no need to open each chain's page separately.
• Create a trading pair — open a new DEX pool and fund it from your wallet. Where a chain has more than one DEX (for example Uniswap, Camelot, or SushiSwap on Arbitrum), pick the one your community trades on.
• Add to an existing pair — deepen a pool you already created, or link a pair you made on the DEX directly so it shows on your token page.

Create Pair opens a short form: choose the DEX, enter how much of your token and native asset to seed, then Add Liquidity. Because a pool is public and one-way, you confirm before signing.

Before you sign, the app checks your token and native balances, so an amount you can't cover is caught up front — no wasted gas. It's the same market a launch-time pool creates — just on your schedule.

3. Lock your LP tokens

When you add liquidity, the DEX gives you LP tokens — a receipt for your share of the pool. Whoever holds those LP tokens can withdraw the pooled liquidity, so locking them (for a fixed period) is the single strongest signal to traders that you won't "pull the rug."

Lock your LP from the Liquidity section of your token manager on EVM chains — paste the LP token address and the lock URL from a locker like UNCX, Team.Finance, or PinkSale, and Chain Daddy verifies it on-chain.

Traders can verify the lock on-chain, and a locked pool reads as a real trust signal on your token page.

Chains differ

LP locking is available on the EVM chains. On Solana, liquidity lives in programs like Raydium — your manager lists your Solana trading pairs, and you manage or lock liquidity through the Solana DEX's own tooling.

What sets the price?

Your opening price is just the ratio of the two sides of the pool:

price per token ≈ native amount ÷ tokens paired

Pair more native for the same number of tokens → higher opening price. Pair more tokens for the same native → lower opening price. After launch the market moves the price as people trade; the amount you seeded determines how much buying or selling it takes to move it.

A word on risk

• Your paired native is real money. Seeding a pool moves ETH/SOL from your wallet into the pool. If people sell into the pool it ends up with more of your token and less native — that's normal market behavior, not a bug.
• Locking is a commitment. A locked LP position can't be withdrawn until the lock ends. Lock an amount and duration you're comfortable committing to.
• Start reasonable. You can always add more liquidity later — you don't need a huge pool on day one.
