# Create a new pair on AlphaDex

The Pair Creator is a tool that allows you to add the two resources to AlphaDex as a Smart Contract component. There are several points to note when creating a pair

* The two resources you would like to create a pair for need to exist in your wallet already
* If one of the tokens doesn't already exist on AlphaDex then it will need to be paired against XRD
* If one of the tokens is already paired against XRD then you can create a pair with two non-XRD tokens. For example;
  * If an OCI/XRD pair exists already on AlphaDex then it is possible to create an OCI/DFP2 pair
  * If an OCI/XRD pair doesn't exist already then it would not be possible to create an OCI/DFP2 pair. A DFP2/XRD or OCI/XRD pair would first need to be created before being able to create an OCI/DFP2 pair.
