# Create Pools DFX allows the creation of new pools by pairing any token to the quote token of USDC. To create a pool, a token address and a corresponding oracle address must be supplied.

`Note:` Newly created pools are subject to a community vote before an emissions gauge is added to accrue protocol rewards. \ \ Once a new pool is added, the creating user will be responsible for adding some initial liquidity and performing a single manual swap to initialize the pool. If you are looking for Oracles, we highly suggest checking out one of our partners,

[Chainlink](https://chain.link/)! `Chainlink Data Feeds:` *** ## Steps:


Find the pool's contract on the associated chain's block explorer. (e.g., Etherscan)
Under the `Write` contract methods, connect your wallet to block explorer.
Perform a single `originSwap` in either direction.

A manual swap with a `base` token address, `quote` token address, amount to swap in `base` token's decimals, minimum to receive in `quote` token's decimals (can be 0), and epoch time (second) deadline before tx will timeout.

Upon a successful transaction, swapping between the new pair will be available on the DFX API.
