OpenBook Market Creator
Decentralized Limit Order Trading for SPL Tokens on Solana
The Fundly OpenBook Market Creation Tool is an on-chain order book-based decentralized exchange (DEX) solution that allows users to create and manage markets for SPL tokens before liquidity pools are established. Built on Solana’s high-speed, low-cost infrastructure, this tool provides a fully decentralized, trustless trading experience, enabling users to place limit orders, execute market orders, and discover token prices without relying on automated market makers (AMMs).
This tool is ideal for token presale projects, early-stage trading, and decentralized price discovery, allowing token holders, investors, and developers to create custom OpenBook markets for their SPL tokens without the need for pre-existing liquidity pools. By using a decentralized order book model, Fundly ensures efficient trading, reduced slippage, and fair market pricing before tokens officially list on major decentralized exchanges (DEXs) like Raydium or Orca.
Why Use the OpenBook Market Creation Tool?
1. Trade SPL Tokens Without Liquidity Pools
Enables order book trading before liquidity pools exist, allowing users to buy and sell tokens before official exchange listings.
Ideal for presale investors looking to trade tokens before AMM launch.
2. Decentralized Limit Order Trading for Full Price Control
Unlike AMMs, where traders swap at current pool prices, OpenBook markets allow users to: ✅ Set their own buy and sell prices (limit orders). ✅ Place market orders for instant execution at the best available price.
3. Secure, Permissionless & Trustless
No middlemen or centralized control—all trading occurs directly on the Solana blockchain.
Smart contracts ensure escrow protection, preventing fraudulent transactions.
4. Efficient, Low-Latency Trading
Built on Solana’s high-speed, low-cost blockchain, OpenBook markets allow for: ✅ Near-instantaneous order matching. ✅ Minimal fees compared to traditional AMM swaps.
5. Full Composability with DeFi & Trading Protocols
OpenBook markets can be integrated with aggregators, lending platforms, and automated trading bots.
Enables advanced trading strategies, such as arbitrage and market making.
6. No Impermanent Loss for Market Makers
Unlike AMMs, which require liquidity providers to supply assets and risk impermanent loss, OpenBook markets allow market makers to place buy/sell orders without losing token value due to price fluctuations.

Choose Trading Fees (Optional) – Set a small transaction fee for order execution.
Enable Public or Private Trading – Choose whether to allow open access or restrict trading to whitelisted wallets.
Step 4: Deploy OpenBook Market Smart Contract
Click "Create OpenBook Market" to launch the decentralized order book for your token.
Confirm the transaction in your wallet—once approved, the market goes live.
Step 5: Users Place Buy & Sell Orders
Traders can now set limit orders at their desired price or place market orders for instant execution.
Orders remain active in the order book until matched or canceled.
Step 6: Order Execution & Trade Settlement
When a matching order is found, the smart contract executes the trade automatically.
The buyer receives the SPL tokens, and the seller receives the paired asset (SOL, USDC, etc.).
Step 7: Transition to Liquidity Pool Trading (Optional)
Once the market matures, projects can launch a liquidity pool using Fundly’s Liquidity Pool Creation Tool.
OpenBook markets can continue operating alongside AMMs for traders who prefer order book trading.
Important Considerations Before Creating an OpenBook Market
🔹 Unlike AMMs, OpenBook uses limit orders, meaning trades only execute when matching orders exist. 🔹 Users must set realistic order prices to ensure successful transactions. 🔹 Projects should monitor market depth to maintain an active trading environment. 🔹 Token pairs must be correctly configured to avoid trading errors. 🔹 Sellers must have enough tokens, and buyers must have enough SOL/USDC before placing orders.
