Meteora is a DeFi yield infrastructure protocol on Solana, offering highly capital-efficient liquidity pools. Developed by the same team behind Jupiter, this platform enables users to create liquidity pools that may eventually be tradable on JUP.
Step-by-Step Guide to Creating a Liquidity Pool
1. Access the Official Website
Visit Meteora's platform and locate the "Create Pool" button at the center of the interface.
2. Select Pool Type
You'll be presented with two options:
- Volatile Pool: Standard token pool (default selection)
