# 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%**.
