This guide uses the Phantom wallet for the Solana demonstration.

Orca is a well-known decentralized exchange on Solana. Compared with Raydium, the cost of creating liquidity on Orca is relatively low, usually less than 0.5 SOL. Many users prefer creating USDC pools on Orca because USDC pools have less impermanent-loss exposure than SOL pools, which reduces the impact of SOL price volatility.

The following steps show how to create a liquidity pool through Orca.

  1. Open https://www.orca.so/create-pool and fill in the token information.

  • Token A: your own token. Enter the contract address to find the token.
  • Token B: the base token in the pool, such as USDT, SOL, or USDC.
  • Fee tier: the transaction fee rate. A common recommendation is 0.2%. If it is set too low, trading may be less practical.
  • Initial price: the initial pricing. If you are creating a token/SOL pair, this price means how much SOL one token is worth.
  • Liquidity range: the price range in which your token liquidity is active. There are two options: FULL and CUSTOM. If you are not familiar with the concept, choose FULL, which is full-range liquidity and is closer to the PancakeSwap V2 mechanism. CUSTOM is closer to a V3-style position and is not recommended for beginners.

After completing the information, enter the exact token amounts. The filled result should look like this:

After confirming that the price is correct, click Create Pool. The wallet confirmation window will appear. Confirm the transaction to create the pool.

  1. After the pool is created, visit https://v1.orca.so/liquidity to view it. Reconnect your wallet if needed.

Select Portfolio and wait for a moment. You will see the pool you created.

To remove liquidity, click your trading pair and choose Withdraw Liquidity. If you want to add more funds to the pool, choose Deposit.

Then follow the page instructions, choose the percentage of liquidity to withdraw, and click Withdraw. After wallet confirmation and paying the network fee, liquidity removal is complete.

This is the basic process for adding or removing liquidity on Orca.
