How to Create a Liquidity Pool on PumpSwap: A Creator’s Guide

PumpSwap has been one of the fastest-growing platforms since it launched in late March 2025. It’s the meme coin DEX built by Pump.Fun, so its rising popularity comes as no surprise. That’s exactly why you need to learn how to create a liquidity pool on PumpSwap: few platforms pull in this kind of traffic.

Before getting started, there are two ways to get a Liquidity Pool on PumpSwap: having a token SPL and adding an LP manually, or graduating your token from Pump Fun. Both methods work, and we’ll walk you through each one step by step below.

How to create a liquidity pool on PumpSwap step by step

Spinning up a new liquidity pool on PumpSwap takes two things: an token SPL that’s already deployed and funds to seed liquidity (in SOL, USDT or USDC). First, head over to the PumpSwap page, where we’ll kick off the process of creating a liquidity pool with any token. From there, follow these steps:

1. Click “Create”: this kicks off the process of creating a liquidity pool on PumpSwap.
2. Pick the “Quote Token” or paired asset: the top one is what gets paired against your meme coin. Typically, this is SOL, USDT or USDC.
3. Hit “Select Token” and paste the Token Address: clicking select token opens a window. Paste the address and pick your meme coin.
4. Choose the initial liquidity and how many tokens you’ll allocate to the liquidity pool: as a rule of thumb, most creators allocate between 75% and 80% of total supply.
5. Hit “Create Pool”, approve the transaction in your wallet and your token will be live on PumpSwap.

How much liquidity should I add to my PumpSwap Liquidity Pool?

The smaller the liquidity pool at launch, the more volatile your meme coin will be. On the flip side, if you start a liquidity reserve with 5-10 SOL, your coin will be more stable and more people will be interested in buying it.

There’s no specific minimum or recommended amount. What is clear is that more liquidity means better odds your project takes off.

How to create a liquidity pool on PumpSwap without spending anything

There’s another way to create a liquidity pool on PumpSwap without putting up money for liquidity. It’s actually one of the most appealing features of the parent platform: Pump.Fun. The idea is basically this:

1. Create a meme coin on Pump Fun with real potential (you can use the Pump Fun Bundler for this).
2. Attract a large number of investors to buy the coin.
3. Get a market cap to “graduate” to PumpSwap (meaning, clear the bonding curve of roughly 60 SOL).

This way, your meme coin gets migrated to PumpSwap and the liquidity built up on the bonding curve becomes the starting liquidity for your pair on the liquidity pool. While it sounds simple in three steps, very few projects actually pull it off.

You’d need a solid community backing you up, plus the ability to promote the token in a cost-effective way. If you decide to go this route, we recommend using the Pump.fun Volume bot from Smithii.

You can also create a liquidity pool on Raydium with zero coding required.

I already have a liquidity pool on PumpSwap. What’s next?

Either way, once your liquidity pool is live, it’s time to boost your pair using the PumpSwap volume bot. This lets you simulate a healthy transaction volume so other people can see the activity your meme coin is generating and jump in too.

On the other hand, if you already hold the token across one or several wallets, you can also plan a coordinated bundle sell to take profits periodically. To do this, open the bundle sell, add the token address of your meme coin, include the private key of the wallets holding the meme coin, and hit Bundle Sell.

FAQs about creating a liquidity pool on PumpSwap

What is PumpSwap?

PumpSwap is the native DEX of Pump.fun, launched in March 2025 on Solana. It’s built to host the meme coins that graduate from the bonding curve on Pump.fun, though it also lets you create manual liquidity pools with any token SPL.

What do I need to create a liquidity pool on PumpSwap?

A token SPL already deployed on Solana and funds to seed as initial liquidity for the pair (SOL, USDT, or USDC). No liquidity means no working pool: the quote token sets the starting price of the meme coin.

Can I create a pool on PumpSwap without putting up liquidity from my own pocket?

Yes, but indirectly. If you launch the meme coin on Pump.fun and push it past the bonding curve (around 60 SOL of market cap), the token automatically “graduates” to PumpSwap and the liquidity built up on the bonding curve becomes the initial pool. It’s the hardest route because it depends entirely on the project’s hype.

How much liquidity should I put into the pool?

There’s no formal minimum. The smaller the initial pool, the more volatile the price gets: with 5-10 SOL the coin gains stability and attracts more holders. The deeper the liquidity, the more trust the project signals and the higher the odds it takes off.

What should I do after creating the pool on PumpSwap?

Once you’ve listed the token and opened the pool, it’s worth firing up a volume bot to keep activity visible on screeners like Dexscreener, plus considering a coordinated bundle sell to take profits without tanking the pair’s price.

Wrapping up

You’ve got two ways to create a liquidity pool on PumpSwap: manually on their platform, or by graduating your meme coin from Pump.Fun. Which path you take comes down entirely to your goals and intentions, but either route will get your token listed on the DEX.
