How to Create a Solana Liquidity Pool on Orca & Raydium Without Snipers

How to create a Solana liquidity pool for a new token usually happens on Raydium or Orca — and that is exactly when sniper bots are most active. BaniPool creates pools on the official Orca Whirlpools or Raydium CLMM programs, checks token security, validates the initial price against the market and, with Private mempool (Jito), sends pool creation + first deposit + tip as one atomic bundle, so snipers cannot squeeze in between.

Cost of creating a pool on Solana

• Pool rent ~0.015 SOL — not refunded (the pool account belongs to all LPs).
• Position rent ~0.01 SOL — refunded when the position is closed.
• Jito tip ~0.0001–0.002 SOL when using the private mempool.
• Network fees (fractions of a cent) and a platform fee if you use Zap.

Unlike third-party launch tools that charge flat fees, you pay only network rent and the tip.

Step by step

1. Open Create pool and choose Solana

Open Create pool → Solana, then log in with Phantom, Solflare or Backpack (Sign in with Solana, free).

2. Turn on Private mempool (Jito)

The Private mempool (Jito) switch under Network — slide it right. It requires a wallet that supports "sign only" (Phantom, Solflare, Backpack).

3. Token A and Token B

Search by name, symbol, or paste a mint address (including pump.fun coins). The detail card shows the mint program (SPL / Token-2022), decimals, price, liquidity, market cap, holders and a Solscan link. Security checks run automatically: mint/freeze authority, large holders, creator history and sell simulation.

4. DEX and fee tier

Choose Orca Whirlpools or Raydium CLMM. Fee Advisor picks a fee tier from volatility, volume, competing pools on Orca/Raydium/Meteora and estimated net APR. If the pair already exists at that fee, the step becomes Add liquidity.

5. Initial price, range and deposit

• Initial price: Use market price (Jupiter quote). Deviations over 2% need confirmation.
• Range: narrow, wide or full (full is recommended for new pools).
• Zap In (pay with one token, e.g. SOL — swapped via Jupiter) or Manual (two tokens).

6. Sign everything in one popup

With the private mempool, your wallet shows one "sign all" popup. Approve within the on-screen countdown (~60 seconds — Solana blockhash lifetime). BaniPool monitors the bundle; if it is rejected or does not land, no funds move — press Retry (tip ×2) or Send normally.

Why a Jito bundle stops snipers

Without a bundle there is a gap between the create pool and first deposit transactions. Bots can buy from the still-thin pool or move the price in that gap. A Jito bundle executes everything sequentially and atomically in the same block and is not publicly visible before landing. On top of that, every deposit carries your initial price — the program cancels the deposit if the pool price has already moved (price moved). BaniPool's first bundle was verified on-chain in slot 467377092 (pool creation, deposit and tip at consecutive block positions 285–287).

After the pool is created

• Share the BaniPool pool link — the pool page shows TVL, volume, security and charts.
• Track your position in your Profile.
• Consider a second pool on another DEX so Jupiter finds your liquidity on more routes.

FAQ

How much SOL do I need to create a liquidity pool?

About 0.03 SOL for rent and fees, plus your first deposit and the Jito tip if you use the private mempool.

Orca or Raydium for a new token?

Both are concentrated liquidity and indexed by Jupiter. Fee Advisor shows competing pools and volume on each DEX for your pair.

Is my Solana pool visible publicly?

Yes, after it lands. The private mempool only hides transactions before they land — see Solana private mempool.
