Creating a pool

Anyone can open a pool for any pair of tokens. No listing, no permission, no fee to ARCO for creating it.

What you choose

  • The pair
    Any two tokens on Arc. Paste an address if the token is not in the list yet.
  • The fee
    What traders pay on every swap in this pool. Pick a suggested tier or type any fee from 0.01% to 10%, in steps of 0.01%.
  • The starting price
    The price the pool opens at. Get this right: if it is off, the first trader simply takes the difference from the first liquidity.

Picking a fee

FeeUsually fits
0.01%Stable against stable, pegged pairs.
0.05%Large, tightly traded pairs.
0.3%Most pairs.
1%New or volatile tokens.
Anything else up to 10%Your call. A higher fee earns more per trade and attracts fewer trades.

After you create it

A new pool is empty. It needs liquidity before anyone can trade in it, so the app takes you straight to adding the first position. From that moment the pool shows up in Pools and Explore and the router starts quoting it. The 87.5% / 12.5% split applies to every pool created through ARCO from its first trade.
