# add\_pool

This entrypoint allows anyone to deploy a new own DEX pool.

{% hint style="info" %}
QUIPU token should be approved (updated operators) before calling this method.
{% endhint %}

### Call parameters

Parameters logically close to Standalone variant of [Add new dex](/smart-contracts/quipuswap-stable-swap-dex/standalone-dex/add-new-dex.md), but there is no "`reserves`" field in tokens\_info mapping (because invest performs at second step - [start\_dex](/smart-contracts/quipuswap-stable-swap-dex/factory/initialize-new-dex-flow/start_dex.md)) and some additional config parameters.

* `default_referral` - the address that would be the default referral at the new pool.
* `managers` - a set of addresses that allowed to manipulate LP token metadata at the new pool.
* `metadata` - metadata of deployed contract.
* `token_metadata`  - metadata of the LP token at the new pool.
