# Creating a Pool
Aquarius AMMs enable anyone to create liquidity pools using tokens available on the **Stellar blockchain** or **Soroban smart contract layer**. Currently, two types of pools can be created: **Volatile** and **Stable Swap**.
> **Pool Creation Cost:** 300,000 AQUA
### Pool Types
#### Volatile Pools
* Based on **Uniswap v2**, this AMM type is similar to Stellar’s native AMM pools.
* Pool creators can set different **trading fees**: **0.1%**, **0.3%**, or **1%**.
#### Stable Swap Pools
* Designed for **assets with a 1:1 price ratio** (e.g., **ETH/yETH, USDC/yUSDC**).
* **Not recommended for volatile assets**, as this could lead to the loss of deposited funds.
* Supports up to **three assets** per pool (with **four** coming in a future update).
* Offers **customizable fees** between **0.1% and 1%**.
### How to create a pool
Follow these steps to create a liquidity pool on Aquarius:
1. **Select the pool type** (**Volatile** or **Stable Swap**).
2. **Choose the assets** to include in the pool:
* **Volatile pools**: Up to **two assets**
* **Stable Swap pools**: Up to **three assets** (**four in a future update**)
3. **Set the trading fee** users will pay when swapping assets.
4. **Acknowledge the 300,000 AQUA fee** required to deploy the pool.
5. Click **“Create Pool”** to confirm the transaction and launch your pool!

```
`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.
The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.
