What is a Stable Pool?
A stable pool is Raydium's Concentrated Liquidity Market Maker (CLMM) that enables liquidity providers to deploy funds within a specified price range. This concentration achieves higher capital efficiency and price stability, making CLMMs commonly referred to as "stable pools" in markets.
Benefits of Creating a Stable Pool
CLMMs offer significant advantages over traditional Automated Market Makers (AMMs):
- Improved Capital Efficiency: Funds are allocated only within a targeted price range, preventing dilution across the entire spectrum.
- Higher Yield Potential: Concentrated liquidity accumulates more trading fees.
- Enhanced Market Depth: Increased liquidity near trading prices reduces slippage.
- MEV Protection: Fixed price ranges deter bot-driven arbitrage.
For native token projects (e.g., RAW), price stability is crucial for community trust, ecosystem growth, and long-term viability. Stable pools are cost-effective and easy to set up.
Step-by-Step Guide to Creating a CLMM Stable Pool (Solana)
1. Pool Creation
- Navigate to Raydium’s interface.
- Click "Create" and select Concentrated Liquidity.
- Proceed to configure the pool.
💡 CLMMs anchor liquidity to specific price ranges for stability.
2. Configure Token Parameters
Token Pairing:
- Base Token: Your project token (manual entry or wallet selection).
- Quote Token: USDT or USDC (recommended).
- Fee Tier: Default 0.25% (usually optimal).
Price Range Settings:
- Initial Price: E.g., 1.000 USDT.
- Range: Suggested 1.002–1.008 USDT for stability.
Liquidity Provision:
- Only base tokens are required initially if the price is within your range.
- The system auto-distributes liquidity, creating a dense pool that resists price breaks.
3. Wallet Confirmation
Click "Confirm Deposit", connect your wallet, and approve the transaction. A small fee finalizes the setup.
4. Solana Swap Integration
Post-creation, inject quote tokens via swaps:
- Select USDT/project token pair.
- Execute the swap to balance the pool.
✅ This enables full buy/sell functionality.
FAQ Section
Q1: Does adding liquidity require a 1:1 token-to-stablecoin ratio?
A: No. Only base tokens are needed initially; quote tokens are added later via swaps.
Q2: Can I create a dual-token pool?
A: Yes. Wide ranges (e.g., 0.999–100) may require partial quote token deposits.
Q3: Is Raydium V3 in OKX Web3 Wallet a CLMM pool?
A: Yes. V3 uses concentrated liquidity (CLMM).
