Base Token Mint Address: The base token is the token being traded. For example, the base token of a BTC/USDT market is BTC.
Quote Token Mint Address: The quote token is the token used to price trades. For example, the quote token of a BTC/USDT market is USDT.
Minimum Order Size: Smallest allowed order size. For a BTC/USDT market, this would be in units of BTC, a.k.a. the Lot size.
Tick Size: Smallest amount by which prices can move. For a BTC/USDT market, this would be in units of USDT, a.k.a. the price increment.
Creating a market should cost around 4 SOL. At the moment there is no way to close the market and recover the funds, make absolutely sure you want to create a market.
