What Is Liquidity?

Liquidity is the amount of assets available inside a trading pool.

A liquidity pool contains:

Asset

Purpose

Your Token

Asset being traded

SOL

Base currency used to buy and sell

The ratio between these assets determines your token price.

Example:

Asset

Amount

SOL

10

Token

1,000,000

Starting Price:

0.00001 SOL per token
