Tokens & Pools

Tokens and liquidity pools are the foundation of DeFi on Solana. This section explains how tokens are created, how pools work, and what features they provide.

Token Creation​

All tokens are created automatically by the backend using the SPL Token standard on Solana. For each new token, the backend:

  • Generates a unique mint address
  • Registers on-chain metadata (name, symbol, URI) using the Metaplex Metadata program
  • Sets supply, decimals, and authorities according to platform logic
  • Optionally links the token to a liquidity pool for trading

Pool Creation​

All liquidity pools are created and managed automatically by the backend using protocols like Meteora (DBC, DAMM v2). The backend:

  • Selects the base and quote tokens (such as the platform token and SOL/USDC)
  • Determines the appropriate pool type (DBC or DAMM v2) based on platform logic
  • Sets pool parameters (fees, curve, liquidity ranges) for optimal trading and liquidity
  • Deploys the pool on Solana and manages initial and ongoing liquidity

Features of Pools​

  • Enable token trading and swaps
  • Provide price discovery for new tokens
  • Support advanced DeFi strategies (custom curves, concentrated liquidity)
  • All operations are transparent and on-chain

Additional Notes​

  • All token and pool creation is fully automated and handled by the backend
  • Pool and token data is public and verifiable
