How to List Your Ethereum Token on a Decentralized Exchange (2026)
Want to list your Ethereum token on a decentralized exchange (DEX)? This guide will help you get started. Listing a token on a DEX means creating a liquidity pool, and once the liquidity pool is created, anyone in the world can buy and sell your token.
The major decentralized exchanges (DEXs) on the Ethereum network include Uniswap, PancakeSwap, and SushiSwap, and you can create a liquidity pool in just 5 steps.

Frequently Asked Questions
Here are some common questions when creating a liquidity pool on Ethereum:
Why do I need to create a liquidity pool?
Without a liquidity pool, your token cannot be traded. Creating one enables anyone to buy and sell your token on a DEX. Additionally, once your pool is live, your token gets listed on platforms like DexScreener and DexTools, exposing your project to potential investors.
How much does it cost to create a liquidity pool on Ethereum?
With Alphecca, the service fee is 0.002 ETH, and gas fees are typically under 0.0001 ETH. There are no additional costs. However, you'll need to provide your own tokens and pairing tokens (ETH, USDT, etc.) for the pool. Since Ethereum mainnet gas fees fluctuate with network congestion, consider creating your pool during off-peak hours.
What's the difference between V2 and V3 liquidity pools?
V2 pools distribute liquidity evenly across all price ranges, making them straightforward to set up and manage. V3 pools allow you to concentrate liquidity within a specific price range for greater capital efficiency, but your liquidity becomes inactive if the price moves outside that range. V2 is ideal for beginners, while V3 suits those who can actively manage their positions.
Can I create multiple liquidity pools for one token?
Yes, you can create multiple liquidity pools for a single token. Beyond ETH pairs, you can also create USDT or USDC pairs. You can even list the same pair across multiple DEXs like Uniswap, PancakeSwap, and SushiSwap. Just make sure to set consistent token prices across all pools by matching the liquidity ratios.
Can I trade my token immediately after creating a liquidity pool?
Yes, your token becomes tradable instantly once the liquidity pool is created. As soon as the transaction is confirmed on the blockchain, anyone worldwide can buy and sell your token. You can track real-time charts and trading activity on DexScreener, DexTools, and GeckoTerminal.
How much liquidity should I add?
There's no minimum requirement, but adding too little liquidity results in high slippage, making trades difficult. We recommend starting with at least $500–$1,000 in liquidity. Higher liquidity means better price stability and smoother large trades, which builds investor confidence.
