🌊 $FRID Raydium Pool Runbook
The single step that makes $FRID buyable on Solana with real money.
Status gate: deployer holds ~0.10 SOL; a real pool needs ~5 SOL floor / ~10 SOL recommended
(~$750–$1,500) plus ~0.4 SOL overhead. Below ~5 SOL it's theater — any buy moves price 30–50%+.
Send SOL to 5WrD2Kvs74zS17ESae85Utjr72UiFV6zPFMwYAHaSKGD before starting.
Why Raydium CPMM (not pump.fun, not Meteora)
pump.fun can't adopt an existing mint (it always mints a new token). Raydium CPMM supports the existing
$FRID SPL mint, is the cheapest type, and is the one Jupiter routes through. Meteora DLMM needs active management —
overkill for a first set-and-forget pool.
Costs (2026, current — re-confirm at execution)
| Item | SOL |
|---|
| CPMM pool-creation fee | 0.15 |
| Rent + token accounts + priority fees | ~0.20 |
| Keep-alive buffer | ~0.05 |
| Overhead (excludes deposited liquidity) | ~0.40 |
The deposited liquidity is the real cost — the pool is only as deep as the SOL you put in.
Set the initial price deliberately (the FRID:SOL ratio = launch FDV)
You pair SOL with FRID from the 100M (10%) public-liquidity earmark. The ratio you pick sets the price.
Assuming ~$145/SOL:
| FRID paired | vs SOL | ≈ price/FRID | ≈ FDV (1B) |
|---|
| 100,000,000 | 10 SOL | $0.0000145 | ~$14.5K |
| 20,000,000 | 10 SOL | $0.0000725 | ~$72K |
| 5,000,000 | 10 SOL | $0.00029 | ~$290K |
For reference, the ERC-20 side currently implies ~$0.0000555/FRID (~$55K FDV). Pick a ratio that's
coherent with that and leaves room to grow — don't launch at a wildly higher FDV than the thin ETH pool shows.
Step-by-step (when SOL is in the deployer)
- Confirm balance + authorities:
SOLANA_KEY_FILE=C:\friday-token\solana-deployer.txt node scripts/check-deployer.cjs (freeze should read null ✅ — already done)
- Load the deployer key into Phantom (import private key) on the device you'll use
- Go to raydium.io/liquidity/create-pool/ → choose CPMM
- Base token =
AwcYhqLGqVc6oLuAAMBvCp7hWkaysMBkBBCwk4SeTxvX (FRID); Quote = SOL
- Set the initial price from your chosen ratio above (this sets FDV — deliberate)
- Deposit equal-value FRID + SOL; confirm & sign (pays ~0.15 SOL fee + rent)
- Pool is live on-chain immediately
- Lock or burn the LP tokens. Unlocked LP is a top rug-flag — scanners (RugCheck, GoPlus) penalize it. Either burn the LP position or lock it 6–12 months (e.g. via a Raydium/3rd-party locker). This is the difference between "looks like a rug" and "verifiably can't rug." Do NOT skip it.
Before or right after the pool: add on-chain Metaplex token metadata (name/symbol/logo) to the SPL mint —
RugCheck currently flags "missing metadata," and without it the token shows blank on Jupiter/DEXScreener/Birdeye.
The deployer is the update authority, so this is a small (~0.01 SOL) one-time write. Script: scripts/set-spl-metadata.cjs (staged).
After the pool exists — all automatic, all free
- Jupiter auto-routes the CPMM pool within ~30s–minutes → $FRID swappable Solana-wide, no application
- DEXScreener + Birdeye + GeckoTerminal auto-list with chart/trades within hours
- The launch page /frid/launch/ and token page flip to "tradeable" as the on-chain reader picks up the pool
- Jupiter Verified badge is earned later organically (real trading + active X) — not required to trade
CoinGecko / CoinMarketCap still won't qualify at low liquidity — defer until real depth + volume exist.
