# New Pool Creation

A Liquidity Pool is a collection of funds locked in a smart contract that provides liquidity for decentralized exchanges (DEXs) or lending platforms.

In Uniswap V2, a pool is a smart contract that holds two different tokens in reserve. It allows users to trade between these two tokens automatically, using a mathematical formula to determine prices. Each pool represents a unique trading pair, like BAR/CHZ or JUV/USDC. Users can add liquidity to these pools to earn fees from trades, or swap tokens using the liquidity provided by others.

### How to create a new liquidity pool? <a href="#how-to-create-a-new-liquidity-pool" id="how-to-create-a-new-liquidity-pool"></a>

This shows you how to make a brand new pool for two tokens that don't have one yet. If you want to add your tokens to a pool that already exists, please use the "Add Liquidity" page instead.

**Prerequisite**

In order to create liquidity you need to have these:

1. A MetaMask wallet or any other Web3 wallet.
2. You need to have $CHZ on Chiliz Chain in your wallet for the gas fee.
3. When creating a new liquidity pool, make sure you have two different assets.
