In this guide, Metsumi will walk you through the steps to create a DBC token launch pool on Meteora. Whether you’re a seasoned developer or just starting out, this guide has got you covered to deploy liquidity and launch your project on Meteora.

What You’ll Achieve

By the end of this quicklaunch, you’ll have built a liquidity pool on Meteora by:

Configuring your bonding curve pool and graduated DAMM v1/v2 pool settings
Interacting with our Dynamic Bonding Curve program
See your token tradeable across all trading terminals e.g. Jupiter Pro, Axiom, Photon etc.

Why Meteora?Meteora is a hyper optimized liquidity layer that ensures that your project’s provided liquidity is secure, sustainable and composable for anyone to trade on. By following this guide, you’ll be able to launch a bonding curve config and a token pool using the bonding curve config on Meteora in just a few quick and easy steps.

Prerequisites

Node.js >= 18.0.0
pnpm >= 10.0.0

If you don’t have pnpm installed, you can install it by running the following command.

Terminal

npm install -g pnpm

Setup -> Configure -> Launch DBC Token Pool

Clone and Setup Meteora Invent

Meteora Invent is a toolkit consisting of everything you need to invent innovative token launches on Meteora. Run the following command in your terminal to get started.

Terminal

git clone https://github.com/MeteoraAg/metera-invent.git

Once you’ve cloned the repository, you’ll have a new project directory with a meteora-invent folder. Run the following to install pnpm and the project dependencies.

Terminal

cd meteora-invent
pnpm install

Optional: Start a Local Test Validator

In Meteora Invent we provide an optional command for you to run a local validator to test your pool before deploying it to devnet or mainnet. Run the following command in your code editor terminal to get started.

Terminal

pnpm studio start-test-validator

This will start a local validator on your machine which will be hosted on http://localhost:8899.

Setup Environment Variables

We provide an easy way to setup environment variables when getting started. Run the following command in your code editor terminal to get started.

Terminal

cp studio/.env.example studio/.env

This will copy the example environment variables file to your .env file. Configure the following variables:

PRIVATE_KEY - Your private key for the wallet you will be using to deploy the pool.

Therafter, you will need to run this command to generate a keypair from your wallet private key.

Terminal

  # For devnet (airdrops 5 SOL)
  pnpm studio generate-keypair --network devnet

  # For localnet (airdrops 5 SOL)
  # Ensure that you have already started the local validator with pnpm start-test-validator
  pnpm studio generate-keypair --network localnet

This will generate a keypair.json file in the studio directory which will be used for all actions in this guide.

Configure your DBC Token Pool

Navigate to the studio/config/dbc_config.jsonc file and configure your DBC token pool settings.

Set your DBC configuration

Your can configure everything DBC token pool related in this file.

The comments in the file are to help you understand the different settings you can configure. Please ensure that you read through the comments while configuring your pool.

Creating a DBC token pool will automatically mint the token within the same initialize_virtual_poolinstruction, so if you want to provide a vanity mint address, you will need to specify the baseMintKeypairFilepath in the dbc_config.jsonc file.

The toolkit contains logic to make it easier for you to create the DBC token pool such as:

Configuring your bonding curve shape based on your buildCurveMode.
Launching the DBC config and token pool using the config immediately.
Configuring your Anti-Sniping settings (such as Fee Scheduler or Rate Limiter) easily.
Abstracts the math behind crafting the bonding curve.

Create your DBC Token Pool

After configuring your DBC token pool settings in dbc_config.jsonc, you can now create your token pool by running the following command.

Terminal

pnpm studio dbc-create-pool --config ./studio/config/dbc_config.jsonc

This will create your DBC curve config and token pool. You will also be able to see the token address and other relevant information in the console.

Voilà! You’ve successfully created your DBC token pool on Meteora. You can now see your token in action on Jupiter Pro, Axiom or Photon.
