# Create Pool

## 1. Default Fee Options

The SDK provides predefined fee configurations for different types of trading pairs. These configurations are optimized based on asset volatility and market characteristics:

* **`binStep`**: The step size between bins, determining the price granularity of the pool. Smaller values provide finer price resolution but require more computational resources.
* **`baseFactor`**: A multiplier used in fee calculations, affecting the overall fee structure of the pool.
* **`fee`**: The trading fee rate as a decimal (e.g., '0.0001' = 0.01%). This is the fee charged for each swap transaction.

**Fee Tier Recommendations:**

* **Low fees (0.01% - 0.05%)**: Best for stable pairs or low-volatility mainstream assets
* **Medium fees (0.1% - 0.3%)**: Suitable for medium-volatility assets or mainstream trading pairs
* **High fees (0.4% - 4%)**: Recommended for high-volatility assets, altcoins, or small market cap pairs

| Base fee | Bin Step | Base factor |
| -------- | -------- | ----------- |
| 0.01%    | 1        | 10,000      |
| 0.02%    | 1        | 20,000      |
| 0.03%    | 2        | 15,000      |
| 0.04%    | 2        | 20,000      |
| 0.05%    | 5        | 10,000      |
| 0.10%    | 10       | 10,000      |
| 0.15%    | 15       | 10,000      |
| 0.20%    | 20       | 10,000      |
| 0.25%    | 25       | 10,000      |
| 0.30%    | 30       | 10,000      |
| 0.40%    | 50       | 8,000       |
| 0.60%    | 80       | 7,500       |
| 0.80%    | 100      | 8,000       |
| 1.00%    | 100      | 10,000      |
| 2.00%    | 200      | 10,000      |
| 4.00%    | 400      | 10,000      |

When creating a new pool, choose the fee configuration that best matches your trading pair's characteristics:

```
// Example: Create a pool for a stable pair (USDC/USDT)
const stablePairConfig = { binStep: 1, baseFactor: 10000, fee: '0.0001' }

// Example: Create a pool for a volatile altcoin pair
const altcoinConfig = { binStep: 100, baseFactor: 10000, fee: '0.01' }
```

## **2. Create Pool**

There are two ways to create a pool:

**Method 1: Create Pool Only**

```typescript
// Create a new pool without adding liquidity
const bin_step = 2
const base_factor = 10000
const price = '1.1'
const active_id = BinUtils.getBinIdFromPrice(price, bin_step, true, 6, 6)

const tx = new Transaction()
await sdk.Pool.createPoolPayload({
  active_id,
  bin_step,
  coin_type_a: '0x...::usdc::USDC',
  coin_type_b: '0x...::usdt::USDT',
  base_factor,
}, tx)
```

**Method 2: Create Pool and Add Liquidity in One Transaction**

```typescript
// Create pool and add liquidity in one transaction
const bin_step = 2
const base_factor = 10000
const price = '1.1'
const active_id = BinUtils.getBinIdFromPrice(price, bin_step, true, 6, 6)

// Calculate liquidity distribution
const bin_infos = sdk.Position.calculateAddLiquidityInfo({
  active_id,
  bin_step,
  lower_bin_id: active_id - 10,
  upper_bin_id: active_id + 10,
  amount_a_in_active_bin: '0',
  amount_b_in_active_bin: '0',
  strategy_type: StrategyType.Spot,
  coin_amount: '10000000',
  fix_amount_a: true,
})

const createAndAddTx = await sdk.Pool.createPoolAndAddLiquidityPayload({
  active_id,
  lower_bin_id: active_id - 10,
  upper_bin_id: active_id + 10,
  bin_step,
  bin_infos,
  coin_type_a: '0x14a71d857b34677a7d57e0feb303df1adb515a37780645ab763d42ce8d1a5e48::usdc::USDC',
  coin_type_b: '0x14a71d857b34677a7d57e0feb303df1adb515a37780645ab763d42ce8d1a5e48::eth::ETH',
  strategy_type: StrategyType.Spot,
  use_bin_infos: false,
  base_factor,
})
```
