The Beginner Guide to Token Creation

👋 If this is your first time hearing about “creating a token,” don’t worry—after reading this, you’ll go from a complete beginner to a token-creation pro.

  • The blockchain world can look complicated: tons of jargon, different chains, fee mechanisms, permission settings…

  • But in reality, creating a token isn’t mysterious at all. With smart one-click token-creation platforms like GTokenTool, you don’t need to write any code or stress about security and deployment. In just a few minutes, your token can be ready.


🧩Part 1: Preparations and Basic Concepts Before Creating a Token

🔷What is “creating a token”?

  • Creating token means deploying a token contract on an existing blockchain. You define its name, symbol, total supply, and functions — in short, you are its creator.

Example: Bitcoin is an independent blockchain (produced through mining), whereas what you’re creating is a “token” deployed on an existing blockchain, such as generating your own token on BSC or Solana.


🔷Choosing a Blockchain: Where to Launch Your Token?

Different blockchains have varying rules and costs, so this is something you should plan ahead. BSC and Solana are currently among the most popular choices.

  • The mainstream options are as follows:

Blockchain
Features
Suitable For

BSC (Binance Smart Chain)

Mature and stable, low transaction costs

Beginners / project teams

Solana

Fast, active ecosystem

Users creating Meme or light projects

Base / X Layer / POL

Emerging chains, flexible operations

Developers exploring new ecosystems

🔷How to Create a Token?

Normally, issuing a token requires a developer to write a smart contract and deploy it on the blockchain. But if you’re not technical, you can skip the coding step entirely by using a one-click token creation tool like GTokenTool. By paying a small service fee, you can have your own token ready in just a few minutes.

🔷How Much Does It Cost to Create a Token?

The cost varies depending on the blockchain and is generally paid in the chain’s native token. You can check the official pages for real-time fees.

🔷What Can You Do After Creating a Token?

You can:

  • Transfer or airdrop it to others

  • Create a liquidity pool for trading

  • Track your token’s market data on DEX platforms

⚠️ Note: To enable trading, assign a price, and have your token appear on platforms like GMGN and DexScreener, you must create a liquidity pool.


🔷Launch vs. One-Click Token Creation

Type
Features
Note

Launch

No liquidity pool, tokens must be purchased, limited control by the project team

Suitable for lightweight applications

One-Click Token Creation

Tokens are received directly, liquidity can be added independently, functions are configurable

The project team has full control over the token logic

GTokenTool supports both modes: you can either use the one-click token creation feature or connect to internal platforms like PumpFun, BonkFun, Fourmeme, and Flap to create and purchase tokens within their ecosystems.

💥Part 2: Practical Guide to Creating a Token

Ready? In this section, we dive into hands-on steps! Whether you’re making a community token, a Meme coin, or an experimental project, the process is largely the same.

1

Fill in Basic Information

Parameters and recommendations:

  • Name: Full token name, can be in Chinese or English. Example: SolDog

  • Symbol: Short code, usually 3–5 letters. Example: DOG, MEOW

  • Supply: Maximum token amount, recommended as an integer (no decimals)

  • Decimals: Smallest divisible unit, default 6 or 9

  • Logo: Supported on Solana; for other chains, uploads may not display. (On Solana, you can replace freely; for other chains, contact official support)

2

Optional Feature Configuration

Features and suitable users:

  • Burn: Destroy part of the tokens to increase scarcity. Suitable for deflationary projects

  • Block: Freeze specific addresses to prevent malicious wallets

  • Mint: Dynamically increase supply, mainly for testing purposes

  • Standard Token: No special permissions, recommended for beginners, fully green in safety checks

Beginners are recommended to create a Standard Token — simplest functionality, highest security, and most friendly for risk-control checks.

3

Choose a Blockchain

  • EVM-based chains (BSC / Base / X Layer): Powerful features, high compatibility, slightly higher cost

  • Solana: Fast, logo displays nicely, simpler functionality

4

Payment and Creation

After confirming all parameters, the system will prompt you to pay the token creation fee. Once paid, the token will be automatically generated and sent to your connected wallet.


💼Part 3: Managing and Maintaining Your Token

Congratulations! You now officially own your token. But the next crucial step is how to operate and maintain your token ecosystem.

💡Quick FAQ and Liquidity Pool FAQ

Q1: Where is my token? Why doesn't it show in my wallet?

All tokens are in the wallet you connected. If it doesn’t appear, manually add the token address.

Q2: How can I trade it?

Create a liquidity pool, for example:

Q3: How is the token price determined?

Price = ratio of the two assets in the liquidity pool. For example: 100 USDT + 100 TOKEN → initial price 1 USDT/TOKEN

Q4: Why does risk detection show red?

Adding features like “Mint” or “Blacklist” flags high risk in checks. It’s recommended to use a Standard Token to keep the green status.

Q5: If someone buys my token, where does the money go?

The purchase funds go into the liquidity pool. To withdraw earnings, use the “Remove Liquidity” function.

Q6: Who can create a liquidity pool?

Anyone with tokens and assets can create one.

Q7: How much should I invest in the pool?

There’s no fixed minimum; even a few dozen USDT can work.

Q8: Can the pool's tokens be completely bought out?

In theory, no. The price will rise gradually as demand increases, approaching but never reaching zero.

Q9: How can I stabilize the token price?

Using CLMM (Concentrated Liquidity Market Maker) or adding single-token liquidity can help make the price more stable.

Q10: Does Solana require a Market ID?

Only in AMM mode is creating a Market ID necessary.
