# Permissionless Liquidity Pool Creation

## Overview

Liquidity pools are pools of funds that are locked into a smart contract on a decentralized exchange (DEX). These funds are used to facilitate trades between different assets, without the need for an intermediary.

Anyone can create liquidity pools for markets permissionlessly on [Demex](https://app.dem.exchange/).

Demex is a hybrid DEX that employs an [automated market maker (AMM)](https://guide.carbon.network/features/liquidity-pools/automated-market-maker-amm-model) and a [Central Limit Order Book (CLOB)](https://guide.carbon.network/features/decentralized-orderbooks). In order to enable trading, liquidity pools must be linked to their corresponding spot markets. On Demex, a liquidity pool is automatically linked to its corresponding spot market upon creation.

## Step-by-Step Guide

Creating a new pool on Demex is simple. Follow the steps outlined below.

**Step 1:** To get to the 'Create New Pool' feature, go to the [Pools](https://app.dem.exchange/pools) page on Demex and select the 'Create New Pool' option.

**Example**\
For a 80% ETH / 20% SWTH liquidity pool, 80% of the total value locked in the liquidity pool is represented by ETH, while the remaining 20% is represented by SWTH. This ratio determines the price of each token in the pool, which is adjusted as trades are made.&#x20;

**Step 4**: Deposit a proportionate value of both assets into the Liquidity Pool according to the pool weightage.

**Step 5:** Choose an amplification factor.
