2. Next, you will be shown a modal for creating a pool and supplying its initial liquidity. Bear in mind you will be the first Liquidity Provider to that pool, and the amounts you supply for both tokens will determine the pair price. Make sure it corresponds to the market price of tokens, to avoid arbitrage.

3. Choose the tokens you wish to supply and create a pool with. **Take into account both token’s market price and supply given their market ratio - TKN1/TKN2.**

   You might need to approve (give permission to the smart contracts) the usage of one or both  tokens with your HashPack wallet. To do so, click **Approve TKN**.
