How To Create A New Token & Uniswap Liquidity Pool

Deploy it using remix or truffle to a testnet (play money). Check everything works and familiarise yourself with moving funds around and executing contract functions. Then when ready deploy it to mainnet.

Hi I am interested, once you managed to add liquidity to uniswap and launched the token ect, if you launched it via the rooster test network would that mean that all users would need to buy with rooster eth, or can they use normal main net eth to buy the token, despite being listed on the valueless test network

[@tomcampbell8749]

ROPSTEN TEST NETWORK*

[@JamesBachini]

You would normally only use a test network to experiment with and make sure everything works. In theory users could use a faucet to get free ropsten Eth but your token would always be worthless. For that reason it's best to do a test deployment on ropsten first (just for the devs) and then once everything works deploy it to mainnet and tell users.

[@evdark-7638]

the liquidity pool uses ur token balance for people to buy ?

[@JamesBachini]

Whoever sets up the pool will deposit a seed amount of tokens and base assets. Once deployed anyone can do the same to earn trading fees on their holdings

Hello, I thank you for this complete video, but I don't know why, I really can't understand this pool... could you enlighten me please? I would like to put a token on sale with a starting price of 0.00001 (with a starting price of $50 of liquidity for an offer of 9B Token) and then with each transaction it increases in value at the same time as the liquidity increases, however when I do this on the v3 pool it wants me to pay millions to trade and if I increase the starting price people wouldn't be able to trade since they would have to receive more tokens than I would. on sale.. help 🤪

[@JamesBachini]

I don't fully understand the issue but you should be able to go on a testnet and experiment to get it right. One gotcha is making sure you have the tokens the right way around so if you are setting up a token/USDC pool there is a button to switch price between USDC per token and tokens per USDC. The way I would do this is setup 3 positions. One buy side with the $50 setting the price and the range just inside it so there is a tiny amount of tokens. Then do a small full range position. Then set up another wide range position just outside of the current price with the 9b tokens and $0 USD. So you end up with one buy wall, one really wide sell wall and a full range position which is useful if you want to move the others and prevents some security issues. Hope that helps.

[@falloutmulti-gaming]

​@@JamesBachini thank you for your answer, I was able to solve the problem by doing tests, however I end up with a marketcap of 2.49B on dexscreener because my token is sold at 24cents while I wanted to start it at 0.0000001 Lol, I don't I don't know where this figure comes from or how to lower the price of the token, especially since there is no liquidity, it's terrible

[@JamesBachini]

Depends on a couple of factors 1. Transaction costs to deploy contracts. Expensive on Ethereum but cheaper on layer twos and subchains like BSC or Avax. 2. How much liquidity you want to seed the pool with. More liquidity means less slippage for traders making it more appealing.

Hi James, great video , what is the best way to start a token with a low budget would it be the money from the presale to put that on the liquidity pool?

[@JamesBachini]

Yes you need to create demand for the token some how. if you can do that then you can use presales to seed the liquidity pool. Then when traders purchase the token they'll be adding more of the base asset which adds liquidity too.

[@Knowideer]

what happens if someone decided to buy all the tokens that you just placed in the liquidity pool (in the example you showed 2.06 ETH worth of tokens)? Transactions stop?

[@JamesBachini]

The price would go up incrementally making it more expensive to buy larger amounts of tokens. If you were launching your own tojen you would probably want to add a broad liquidity position so the price just keeps going up and they can't sell out. For traders slippage become a problem on low liquidity pools.

Thank you very much for your sharing. It mean a lots to me. I was not clear with the token listing before, and now i knew every details of it. Thanks.

[@CrushingMight]

Thanks! Couldn't you coded and deployed from Remix without Truffle and other stuff? Seems its added a level of complexity with Truffle etc. which I haven't seen on other tuts. Also, the more ETH i have to start the liq pook the better I guess? So there is no way around needing ETH to start a liq pool? Thanks.

[@JamesBachini]

You could yes, probably need to make a new video as very few devs are using truffle in 2023. The more Eth or Stablecoins you use in the liquidity pool the more of a buffer you can create for token holders to sell into. Price moves more through slippage with less liquidity generally although Uniswap's v3 concentrated liquidity does help here

[@soundify-iw9zq]

thanks a lot for the great content 2 thing that i need to know about Circulating Supply , is that means the coin/token owner sent tokens/coins from wallet to the token address so it can be bought ?

[@JamesBachini]

Not exactly. The token address is where the smart contract for the token lives. So when we send tokens from Alice to Bob. Alice signs a transaction interacting with a function of that smart contract. Circulating supply means all the tokens that are currently available and in distribution. So if a founder has a vested bag that is locked until 2030 then it would count towards total supply but not circulating supply because those tokens aren't available yet.

[@Si-Toecutter]

@@JamesBachini Hi James, thanks for this, is the supply on pancake determined by how much you pool? say if i pooled 80 of 100 tokens then 20% is still in my metamask wallet as not in circulation ? and if i did put 80-100 on pancake in a pool and there were 1billion with 10bnb liquidity, surely a few bots could buy the whole supply and thus render the project dead? any advice is massively appreciated bro

[@JamesBachini]

There's no right and wrong way to do tokenomics. I'd suggest keeping the pool pretty balanced and adding more over time as the token is purchased. So total cap would be 80k USD, you could potentially put 40m tokens and 10 Eth or something like that if the funding is available. Leave the rest in treasury. Whatever you decide to do I'd recommend publishing the details and being open and transparent with your community so they can see what you are doing and why which will build trust and credibility.

You certainly can pair it with dai however anyone with Eth would need to do a double swap to get dai to purchase your token. Eth is probably the most commonly used base asset on Ethereum because everyone has it to pay transaction fees. Stablecoins are a bit more segregated but USDT, USDC, DAI are widely used too. The final thing to bare in mind is that altcoins tend to move with ethereum so impermanent loss might be lower on an Eth base asset compared to DAI for liquidity providers.

Good job James! Keep up the good work! U got a new follower ;) Question, I am doing a BNP-20 token right now more or less the same process. But there is one thing I need to understand. Lets say that I call my token "Token". In the liquidity pool I put 1 BNB and lets say that I lock initial 60%, How will that effect trading and what would be change if I put 100000 BNB in the pool, this shortterm and long term?

[@JamesBachini]

So I guess you'll be using pancake swap which is a fork of Uni v2 I believe. If you add 1 BnB and however many tokens then when someone buys or sells some it's going to have a more major effect on the price because there's less liquidity in the pool. With 100000 BnB then there's more to trade against and traders will experience less slippage etc. With regards to locking up tokens, do you mean like vesting them? This might affect your circulating supply and therefore market cap on sites like coinmarketcap/coingecko.

[@simonrosell3946]

Wow, thank you for such quick response! Yes, you are correct, pancake swap. I understand. Locked liquidity I mean that tokens will be: “the pool token’s movement is restricted by a time-based function. This means that once the restriction is set, they cannot be moved or redeemed until the pre-selected time has passed” or forever in a non-owned contract, often a lot of 00000 in the address. This due to what I have read to create a trust for traders that the creator won’t dump all the liquidity and leave traders behind with 0 possibilities to trade, squid token I think did this. But okey, let’s say that I don’t have that pay upfront cash to bring 10000 BNB to create the liquidity, smother payments, less slippage etc. How can the pool increase and how? Thing is that I have a crypto-homepage where I got a lot of traffic and nice community, so I think there is a possibility to bring some traders quick at launch -> will than 1 BNB for let’s say 1.000.000.000 “Token” be okey?

When you set up a liquidty pool you provide two assets i.e. your token and Eth. So you might provide 10 of your toke s and one eth. As you sell the other 90 the token price will go towards zero until theres barely any Eth left in the pool. So you can't sell an unlimited amount and get back any more than the Eth you put into the pool.

Can I send you my final codes to get a second eye before I launch? Let me know how much. Thank you, stay awesome 👍

[@JamesBachini]

Yeah send me the GitHub repo or something and I'll take a quick look over it. No charge but bare in mind I'm not a professional security auditor

What sets the slippage on Uniswap? Some cryptos have 2-3 % others have like 13%

[@JamesBachini]

The amount of liquidity in the pool and with V3 the concentration of that liquidity. A $100 order into a $1m tvl pool won't move the price but if the pool only has $1000 of assets in it then the balance of those assets will move more and be reflected in the price

Hi, do you have an email I can private message you?

[@JamesBachini]

Yes in the about section on the KZbin profile or on the blog linked to in the description

Hey, How are you? Could you check your Email from me when you get the chance? I was looking to see if you could assist me in having a coin created for my artist development company.
