OpenBook Market ID
Create the on-chain OpenBook market for a base/quote pair — the prerequisite for launching a Raydium AMM v4 liquidity pool. Pick your tokens and order-book parameters; your wallet signs the market-account creation and you get back a reusable market id.
Connect your wallet
Connect a Solana wallet to create an OpenBook market. Everything is non-custodial — you sign and pay for the market accounts in your own wallet.
What an OpenBook Market ID does
An OpenBook market is the on-chain order book that a classic Raydium AMM v4 liquidity pool is built on top of. Before you can list your Solana token on a Raydium pool, the network needs a market account that defines the base token, the quote token (SOL or USDC are standard), and the order-book parameters. This tool creates that market in your own wallet and returns a reusable market id you paste into the pool creator.
When and why to use it
Use this tool right after you create your Solana token and just before you open a Raydium AMM v4 pool. Lot size sets the smallest tradeable amount of the base token and tick size sets the smallest price increment; the defaults suit most pairs. Creating a market spends 2.5–4 SOL in non-refundable rent across several rent-exempt accounts, so make sure your wallet is funded before you start.
Key terms and safety
Base and quote must be different legacy SPL tokens — Token-2022 mints are not supported. Once created, a market id is permanent and reusable for that exact pair. Everything here is non-custodial: you sign each transaction yourself and no funds are ever held by us. After your market is live, head to the tools hub or lock liquidity with the LP locker.
Frequently asked questions
What is an OpenBook Market ID?
It's the address of an on-chain order-book market for a specific base/quote token pair. Raydium's AMM v4 pools reference this market id, so you must create the market before you can open a classic Raydium pool for your token.
Why does creating a market cost SOL?
An OpenBook market allocates several rent-exempt accounts — the market itself plus request and event queues, the bids/asks order book, and base and quote vaults. Funding their rent costs roughly 2.5–4 SOL on mainnet, and this rent is non-refundable.
Do I need a market for every kind of pool?
No. A market id is required for Raydium AMM v4 (classic) pools. Newer Raydium CPMM (CP-Swap) pools and CLMM pools do not need an OpenBook market, so if you only plan to use those you can skip this step.
Are Token-2022 tokens supported?
OpenBook markets only support legacy SPL tokens. Both the base and quote mint must be standard SPL tokens — Token-2022 mints are not accepted here.
