How to Create a Liquidity Pool on DODO
Connect your browser wallet. DODO supports most of the popular browser wallets, including MetaMask, Trust, TokenPocket, imToken, SafePal, and Coinbase Wallet.
Currently, DODO supports 3 different liquidity pool types: standard, pegged, and single-token. You cannot modify your pool’s parameters once it's been created. Upon creation, everyone is able to deposit liquidity into the pool.

- Standard: Standard Pools are similar to Uniswap v2 pools in terms of capital allocation and efficiency. They require liquidity for both buy and sell side tokens.
- Single-Token: Single-Token Pools are created with one token type only. They are useful for selling project tokens to raise funds. This type of pool allows you to create liquidity markets with the tokens you have and nothing more.
Enter the amount of tokens you would like to supply as buy and sell side liquidity.
The initial price of the token pair follows the market price by default. Unchecking the “Fixed ratio at current price” option will expose you to the risk of being arbitraged.
If the “Fixed ratio at current price” option is unchecked, the initial price of your pool will be determined by the amount of tokens on the buy and sell sides. For example, if there are 1000 DODO as sell side liquidity, and 100 USDC as buy side liquidity, then the initial price would be 1 DODO = 0.1 USDC (100 USDC / 1000 DODO)
There are three options for the fee rate:
- 0.01%: suitable for stablecoin trading pairs, such as USDT or BUSD
- 0.3%: suitable for mainstream assets, such as BTC or ETH
- 1%: suitable for exotic token pairs
Note: a low trading fee rate tends to attract more trading volume in the pool.

You can uncheck the “Fixed ratio at current price” option and enter the pegged exchange rate for your pool manually. The initial price of your sell side asset will be the manually entered exchange rate.

There are three options for the Slippage Coefficient (k), and the value is set to 1 by default:
- K = 0.5: suitable for most trading pairs
- K = 0.01: suitable for trading pairs with low volatility, such as BUSD or USDT
- K = 1: suitable for volatile assets
Note: the smaller the slippage coefficient, the lower the slippage for traders, and the deeper the market depth. To learn more, watch our video on slippage coefficients.
