Create a pool
What You Need Before Starting
📱 Compatible Aptos Wallet
You'll need a wallet that works with the Aptos blockchain:
Petra Wallet (most popular)
Aptos Connect (Google)
Other supported wallets (shown when you click "Connect Wallet")
💰 Tokens Ready
Both tokens you want to pair (e.g., APT + USDC for an APT/USDC pool)
APT for gas fees (small amount needed for transaction costs)
Example: To create an APT/USDC pool, you need:
✅ APT tokens in your wallet
✅ USDC tokens in your wallet
✅ Extra APT for gas fees
Step-by-Step Pool Creation
Step 1: Connect Your Wallet
Go to Tapp's website
Click "Connect Wallet". Guide
Select your wallet from the list
Approve the connection in your wallet
Step 2: Navigate to Pool Creation
Look for "Pools" under “Earn” in the main menu
Click "Create Pool"
You'll see the pool creation interface
Step 3: Choose Your Pool Type
🔄 Standard Pool (Recommended for Beginners)
Simple and reliable
Your liquidity works at all price levels
Good for: APT/USDC, major token pairs
Best if: You want set-and-forget liquidity
🎯 Concentrated Pool (Advanced)
Choose specific price ranges
Higher potential returns
Requires active management
Best if: You have strong price predictions
⚖️ Stable Pool (For Similar Assets)
Optimized for assets with similar values
Minimal price impact
Best if: Trading stablecoins (USDC/USDT) or staked assets
Step 4: Select Your Token Pair
First Token: Click dropdown and select (e.g., APT)
Second Token: Click dropdown and select (e.g., USDC)
The platform will show if this pool already exists
Step 5: Configure Pool Settings
For Standard Pools:
Fee Tier: Choose from available options (usually 0.05%, 0.3%, or 1.0%)
Lower fees = more trading volume
Higher fees = more earnings per trade
For Concentrated Pools:
Fee Tier: Same as above
Price Range: Set minimum and maximum prices
Example: APT currently $5, you might choose $3-$7 range (NFA)
Starting Price: Usually auto-filled with current market price
For Stable Pools:
Fee Tier: Usually lower (0.05% or 0.1%)
Amplification Factor: Often preset for optimal performance
Step 6: Enter Deposit Amounts
I’ll use the minimum amount to get point accrual to my LP position ~ 200$ worth of assets
How Much to Deposit:
Enter amount for first token (e.g., ~15.36 APT)
Platform automatically calculates second token amount (e.g., ~104.1 USDC)
Or enter amount for second token first
💡 Helpful Tips:
Start small for your first pool
You can always add more liquidity later
Check that you have enough tokens + gas fees
Step 7: Review Your Pool
Double-Check Everything:
✅ Correct tokens selected
✅ Pool type matches your strategy
✅ Deposit amounts look right
✅ Fee tier is what you want
✅ Price range (for concentrated pools) makes sense
