This guide takes you through the full journey — from basic concepts → actual token creation → post-launch management.

Step by step, you’ll learn the logic behind token creation, avoid common pitfalls, and efficiently complete the process — turning your first Token from “an idea” into reality. 💡

Part 1: Before You Create a Token — Essential Concepts

Want your token launch to go smoothly? Start with understanding the basics.
Blockchain works like constructing a house — if the foundation isn’t solid, everything that follows becomes a trap.

These are the fundamental concepts every beginner must understand.

🔹 What Is “Token Creation”?

• Token creation: Deploying your own token smart contract on an existing blockchain.
  You define the name, symbol, total supply, and functions — you are the creator.
• Example: Bitcoin is an independent blockchain (mined into existence).
  What you are creating is a token deployed on another chain, such as BSC or Solana.

🔹 Which Blockchain Should You Use?

• Different blockchains are like different countries — each has its own rules and costs.
  Here are the current mainstream choices:
• BSC (Binance Smart Chain)：Stable, mature ecosystem，Low fees，Ideal for beginners / project owners
• Solana：Extremely fast，Strong meme culture，Great for memecoins or lightweight projects
• Base / X Layer / IoTeX：Newer chains with flexible environments，Perfect for developers exploring new ecosystems

CiaoTool supports multi-chain token creation, so you can choose the ecosystem that fits your needs.

🔹 How Much Does It Cost to Create a Token?

Cost depends on the chain and is paid in its native coin:

• BSC → BNB
• Solana → SOL

🔹 What Can You Do After Creating a Token?

You can:

✅ Transfer or airdrop it
✅ Create a liquidity pool so the token can be traded
✅ Track its price on DEX platforms

⚠️ To make your token tradeable or visible on GMGN / DexScreener, you must create a liquidity pool.

🔹 Internal Launch vs. One-Click Token Creation

• Internal Launch: No liquidity pool, users must buy tokens, less control for project owners
• One-Click Token Creation: Token goes directly to your wallet, you decide liquidity, fully customizable, full control

CiaoTool supports both: One-click token creation and creating + buying into PumpFun, BonkFun, Fourmeme, Flap, etc.

⚙️ Pre-Launch Checklist

• Tool: Computer / phone、VPN / proxy、Wallet (MetaMask / Phantom / OKX) 、Assets、Telegram
• Purpose: Desktop recommended、For accessing blockchain tools & guides、Stores your crypto assets、Need BNB / SOL to pay gas、Join the official group for help

Not recommended to start if:

❌ You don’t know how to use a wallet
❌ Your wallet has no funds
❌ You don’t understand basic blockchain concepts

Part 2: Step-by-Step Token Creation Guide

Now let’s get into the practical part! Whether you’re making a meme coin, community token, or experimental project, the process is similar.

Step 1: Fill in Basic Information

1. Name：Full token name、SolDog, CatCoin
2. Symbol：Short code (3–5 letters)、DOG, MEOW
3. Total Supply：Total number of tokens、Use whole numbers
4. Decimals：Smallest unit、Usually 6 or 9
5. Logo：Solana supports direct upload; others require platform listing

Step 2: Advanced Features Explained

• Burn — destroy tokens to increase scarcity
• Blacklist / Freeze — block malicious wallets
• Mint — add more supply (good for testing)
• Standard Token — no permissions; safest for beginners (all checks green)

Recommendation: Beginners should always choose Standard Token.

Step 3: Choose Your Blockchain

EVM Chains (BSC / Base / X Layer)：Strong features、High compatibility、Costs slightly higher

Solana：Very fast、Low cost

Step 4: Pay & Create

• After confirming your parameters, the system will request the creation fee. Once paid, the token is automatically deployed and sent to your wallet.

Part 3: Managing Your Token After Launch

• Congrats! You now officially own a token. But the most important part is what comes next — management and ecosystem growth.

🔍 Quick FAQ

Q1: Where is my token? Why can't I see it in my wallet?

• It's already in your wallet — simply add the token address manually.

Q2: How do I enable trading? Create a liquidity pool:

• BSC → PancakeSwap
• Solana → Raydium

Q3: How is token price determined?

• Price = Ratio of the two assets in the liquidity pool
• Example: 100 USDT + 100 TOKEN → price = 1 USDT per TOKEN

Q4: Why did the risk check turn red?

• Because you enabled Mint / Blacklist permissions. Beginners should stay with Standard Token.

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

• It goes into the liquidity pool. You can withdraw it by removing liquidity.

🧠 Essential Liquidity Pool Knowledge

• Anyone can create a pool
• No minimum amount
• Tokens never “run out” — price increases instead
• CLMM or single-token liquidity can help stabilize price
• Solana requires Market ID only for AMM mode

Part 4: Useful Tools After Token Creation

• Creating a token is just the beginning — managing it well is what matters.

CiaoTool provides tools such as:

1. Batch Transfer — airdrop hundreds of addresses at once
2. Snapshot Export — export holder list for airdrops, governance, events
3. Market-Making — multi-wallet trading, control your price curve
4. Batch Create Wallets — create dozens or hundreds of wallets
5. Batch Collection — consolidate funds from multiple addresses
6. Custom Contract Address — customizable prefixes for branding or community projects

You don't need to code. With the right tools, you can complete the full cycle:

Idea → Token → Liquidity → Listing → Community Growth
