How to List a Token on DEX Screener: Solana Guide

Name: Alchemii
Brand: Alchemii

To list a token on DEX Screener, it needs a liquidity pool and at least one transaction in an indexed market. Creating a Solana mint alone does not create its trading page. DEX Screener describes basic listing as automatic in its official listing documentation.

This guide covers getting a price chart and pair page to appear. If your chart already exists and only the logo or social links are missing, go to updating DEX Screener token info.

Before you start: identify the token and its market

Save these three identifiers:

Identifier	What it identifies	Where to check it
Network	The chain containing your token	Confirm Solana mainnet, rather than a test network
Token mint	Your asset, regardless of name or ticker	The successful token-creation transaction
Pool or pair address	A particular market for that asset	The successful pool-creation transaction or DEX pool page

One token can have several pools. Several unrelated tokens can use the same ticker. Searching by address prevents you from mistaking someone else's page for your listing.

Step 1: create a supported trading pool

If you have only created the token, you still need to pair it with another asset and deposit liquidity. In Alchemii, Create Liquidity offers PumpSwap and Raydium CPMM; select the venue you intend to use. Token creation and pool creation are separate transactions and have separate costs.

If a pool already exists, open that pool on its DEX and verify its token addresses and balances. Creating another pool solely because a chart is slow to appear can split your liquidity and create a second address to troubleshoot.

Check DEX Screener's current Solana markets for venue coverage. A token standard being supported by Solana does not mean every DEX supports every extension or pool type.

Step 2: confirm the pool has recorded a transaction

Open the transaction in a Solana explorer and confirm that it succeeded for the intended pool. A submitted signature or an unsigned wallet prompt is not evidence of a completed operation.

The listing rule includes transaction activity; funding a wallet with your token is different from activity in its trading pair. Do not manufacture volume to make the page look active. The useful evidence is the actual pool address and its confirmed history.

Step 3: search by mint, then by pair address

Paste the full mint address into DEX Screener's search. If several pairs appear, compare their DEX, quote token, pool address, and liquidity before sharing one.

If the mint search is empty, try the pool address. Keep the explorer transaction link alongside it. This gives support enough information to investigate without guessing from a project name.

For a read-only programmatic check, the DEX Screener API reference documents the token-pairs endpoint:

curl --fail --silent --show-error \
  'https://api.dexscreener.com/token-pairs/v1/solana/YOUR_MINT_ADDRESS'

Replace the placeholder with your mint. Inspect the returned pair addresses and DEX identifiers. An empty result describes what that API currently returns; it does not prove the token is invalid. An HTTP error or rate-limit response should be handled as a request failure, rather than interpreted as an empty listing.

If your token is not showing

What you observe	Check next
Token exists, but there is no pool	Complete pool creation and save its address
Pool creation failed	Read the transaction error before retrying
Explorer shows a pool, search is empty	Verify venue coverage, transaction activity, and the exact pair address
Pair page exists, logo or links are absent	Fix the token profile; this is a different task from indexing
Several pages share your ticker	Compare mint and pool addresses
Mint works in one tool but not another	Investigate that tool's index or metadata source separately

The official listing page does not specify a universal dollar threshold or a guaranteed wait time. The older version of this guide gave a $500 floor and a 2–30 minute range without sufficient supporting evidence; those claims have been removed.

What is free, and what still costs money?

Basic DEX Screener listing does not require buying a marketplace product. You still fund the liquidity deposit and pay the applicable pool-creation and network costs.

A paid profile or promotion serves a different purpose. See what “DEX Paid” and verification labels mean before treating a badge as proof about the token. Buying visibility also does not replace a working market.

Once the correct pair appears, publish its exact link on your project website. Keep the mint address visible beside it so readers can verify they reached the intended asset.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need to submit my token to DEX Screener?

Basic market listing is automatic when the documented pool and transaction conditions are met on an indexed market. A paid token profile is a separate product.

Is there a $500 liquidity requirement?

The official listing documentation reviewed for this guide does not publish a $500 minimum. Check the pool, its transactions, and DEX coverage before assuming that adding more funds will fix indexing.

How long does DEX Screener listing take?

The listing documentation does not give a guaranteed indexing time. Confirm the transaction on-chain, then check the exact mint and pair addresses. Paid profile processing times do not describe basic listing speed.

Do I need a Raydium pool specifically?

Use a DEX and pool type that DEX Screener indexes. Raydium is one option; a Raydium pool is not a universal requirement. Check the platform's current Solana markets for your venue.
