Decentralised Exchanges (DEXs) have revolutionised the cryptocurrency world by allowing users to trade digital assets without relying on centralised entities. One of the most intriguing aspects of DEXs is the ability for users to create their cryptocurrency pairs.

This article will guide you through creating your cryptocurrency pair on Concordex, outlining the key steps and considerations to ensure a smooth and successful setup.

How Does Creating a Cryptocurrency Pair on a DEX Work?

Before creating a pair, you need a custom token. If you already have a token, you can skip this step. If no, we list basic information below:

  • Choose a Blockchain: Most DEXs operate on the Ethereum network, Binance Smart Chain (BSC), or other EVM-compatible blockchains.
  • Write Smart Contract: Use a standard token contract, such as ERC-20 for Ethereum or BEP-20 for BSC. You can find templates and tools online to help you write and deploy your smart contract.
  • Deploy the Contract: Deploy your smart contract on your chosen blockchain. This process will require some cryptocurrency (ETH, BNB, etc.) to pay for transaction fees.

With a created token, we are ready to set up our trading pair:

  1. Select a DEX: Choose a DEX that supports the blockchain your token is on, like Concordex.
  2. Add Liquidity: Adding liquidity involves depositing an equal value of your custom token and another cryptocurrency (e.g., ETH, BNB, or a stablecoin like USDT) into the DEX’s liquidity pool.

How Do You Create a Cryptocurrency Pair on Concordex?

Now let’s take a closer look at how to create a crypto pair on Concordex:

Connect Wallet: Connect your cryptocurrency wallet (CryptoX Mobile Wallet, Concordium Mobile Wallet or Concordium Wallet (Extension)) to Concordex.

Navigate to the Liquidity Section:

Select “Add Liquidity”:

Select Tokens: Choose your custom token and the paired cryptocurrency.

Select the Token and Import It:

Deposit Tokens: Enter the amount of each token you want to deposit. Concordex will usually require an equal value of both tokens.

Confirm Transaction: Approve the transaction in your wallet to add liquidity to the pool.

Create the Trading Pair: Once you’ve added liquidity, Concordex will automatically create the trading pair. Users can now trade between your custom token and the paired cryptocurrency.

What Are the Next Steps?

The next crucial step is to Promote Your Token. Creating a new trading pair is just the beginning. Effective promotion is essential to attract traders and ensure liquidity. Here are some strategies to consider:

  • Social Media: Share the news on Twitter, Reddit, and specialised cryptocurrency forums.
  • Airdrops and Giveaways: Distribute some of your tokens to early adopters and influencers.
  • Partnerships: Collaborate with other projects and platforms to increase visibility.

Conclusion

Creating your cryptocurrency pair on a DEX is an exciting way to introduce your token to the market and provide liquidity for trading. Following the steps outlined in this guide, you can successfully create and promote your custom trading pair, enabling users to trade your token on Concordex. Remember to focus on liquidity, security, and promotion to ensure a successful launch and sustainable trading activity. Good luck with your cryptocurrency endeavours!
