How to find the Market ID on Solana
If you want to create a liquidity pool or perform advanced actions within the Solana blockchain you may need the Market ID of a couple of tokens.
The Market ID or rather OpenBook Market ID is the concept within the Solana software library to refer to the space on the blockchain that a market (pair of tokens) will occupy, allowing to add liquidity to them and make them interchangeable (trading).
