ALEX Self-Service Token Listing Guide
As the growth of the Stacks community continues to surge, the increasing number of community tokens has motivated our team to automate the process.
We’ve just launched a self-service listing page to get your tokens listed on the ALEX AMM DEX.
The below guide will explain how to access the ALEX self-service page, fill in your token information and create a liquidity pool.
How to List Your Token
The “Self-service” listing page is available https://app.alexlab.co/self-service-listing. The entrance to “Create Liquidity Pool” can be found at the top of the “Pool” page.
Step 1：Fill in the contract address
- Input your complete token contract here, e.g. SP3K…R9.token-alex
- Click ”Next“ button
Step 2：Deposit liquidity
- Carefully check your submitted token information.
If any information is incorrect, please update the token metadata. - Select the token to pair with your token in the AMM Pool (Take STX-ALEX pair as an example, where STX will be
token-x, ALEX will betoken-y). - Enter the initial liquidity to be deposited for each token.
Please note the initial liquidity oftoken-xis subject to a minimum amount, which are 0.1 aBTC, 1,800 STX or 10,000 ALEX. - Upon submission, the initial liquidity of
token-x(e.g. STX) will be transferred from your wallet to the smart contract for safe keeping, which will be injected into the pool upon a successful creation, or returned to you if unsuccessful. The initial liquidity oftoken-y(e.g. ALEX) will be required upon the pool creation.
Step 3: Check the parameters of the pool setting
- Confirm the “Exchange rate”: The exchange rate is determined by the initial liquidity and will be the initial price of the pair for the pool.
- Check the pool configurations: click on the “Edit” icon to adjust the parameters.
fee-rate-x: Swap fee to swap token-x into token-y
fee-rate-y: Swap fee to swap token-y into token-x
max-in-ratio: Max limit for token that is swapped (% of the liquidity of the token)
max-out ratio: Max limit for token that is swapped into (% of the liquidity of the token)
threshold-x: Minimum amount of token-x from which slippage will be determined and applied.
threshold-y: Minimum amount of token-y from which slippage will be determined and applied.
start-block: The block at which swap can be confirmed for the pool.
Any future block number can be chosen. Default is "On finalization," meaning swaps can be confirmed for the pool immediately after the pool is successfully created on chain.
Step 4: Submit
After confirming the pool information, click submit to start the listing process.
Step 5: Check Submit Status and Finalize Pool Creation
- After successful submission, you can check the progress on the same page at any time.
- A submission is subject to two tests — (1) the token contract implements SIP-10 standard correctly, and (2) no content associated with the token that the Foundation may consider derogatory.
A submission that fails any of the two tests will be rejected and initial liquidity returned. If the submission does not pass test (2) but has significant community support, we may initiate a community vote for reconsideration. - If the submission shows “Ready”, please click the “Finalize”button to inject the initial liquidity of
token-yand finalize the pool creation. The initial LP oftoken-ywill be transferred to the pool from your wallet upon finalization.
- Please note that self-service tokens will have an info graphic next to their listing that when highlighted will inform users the pool is created through self-service listing.
After successfully submitting “Finalize” you can check progress on the same page at any time, or check the “Pool” page at: https://app.alexlab.co/pool
The new pool will usually open for trading on the ALEX AMM around the block your finalization transaction was confirmed.
