Mint the token 2. Create the pool 3. Begin trading ## The Mint Create your token any way you like. Any token can be used with Vertigo pools. ## The Pool Once the token is ready to go, deploy a pool with your chosen parameters. Parameters can be as simple or complex as you want. We provide sensible defaults that work out of the box, but feel free to experiment with different liquidity and fee settings to discover what your users like best. When using a Raydium AMM, you lock your SOL and $TOKEN into the pool. When using the Vertigo AMM, you simply lock **Magic SOL** and $TOKEN into the pool. Again, Magic SOL is not actual SOL. It is a variable used to determine the beginning market cap. ## Begin Trading Make sure your frontend integrates trading on Vertigo pools to allow your users to trade. Trading on a Vertigo pool is simple: You either **buy** or **sell**, with an optional setting for slippage. That's it. --- # Agent Instructions This documentation is published with GitBook.
