On this page
Before you start
- Phantom wallet
- Some SOL
- Token name
- Token logo
- Initial liquidity
1. Create your token
Start by creating your SPL Token. Choose a name, symbol, description and upload a logo. This information becomes your token's on-chain metadata.
2. Review supply and fees
Choose the initial supply and decimals. Before signing the transaction, Token Creator displays all fees so you know exactly what you are paying.
3. Secure your token
After creating the token, revoke the Mint Authority if you want a permanently fixed supply. Many projects also revoke the Freeze Authority to increase transparency.
đĄ Best practice
Most community memecoins revoke both Mint Authority and Freeze Authority after launch.
4. Create your liquidity pool
A token cannot be traded until liquidity is available. Deposit your token and SOL into a liquidity pool to establish the initial market price.

Should I revoke Mint Authority?
Most fixed-supply memecoins revoke Mint Authority after launch so no additional tokens can ever be minted.
Why do I need a liquidity pool?
Without liquidity, other users cannot buy or sell your token on decentralized exchanges.
