Token Creation Guide

How to create your token on Solana using Pulse

Creating Tokens on Devnet (Test Environment)

Devnet is the ideal testing environment to start creating your tokens without risks. Here you can experiment for free and familiarize yourself with the creation process.

Steps to get started:

  1. Get free test SOL:
    Visit Solana Faucet

    The faucet will allow you to receive free SOL for testing on Devnet.

  2. Select Devnet on Pulse:

    Use the network selector in the navbar to switch to Devnet.

  3. Create your first token:

    Experiment with different configurations without worrying about costs. Token creation on Devnet is completely free.

Devnet Benefits:

  • Safe environment for experimenting
  • Free SOL for testing
  • No financial risk
  • Ideal for learning features

Creating Tokens on Mainnet (Main Network)

Once you're familiar with the process on Devnet, you can move to Mainnet to create your official token on the Solana blockchain.

Creation Process:

  1. Prepare your wallet:

    Make sure you have enough SOL in your wallet to cover creation costs (approximately 0.027 SOL for contract creation).

  2. Select Mainnet:

    Switch to Mainnet using the network selector in the navbar.

  3. Configure your token:

    Carefully define your token parameters:

    • Token name and symbol
    • Initial supply
    • Decimals
    • Token image
  4. Review and Confirm:

    Carefully check all details before confirming creation. Changes on Mainnet are permanent.

Important Considerations:

  • Creation costs are real and non-refundable
  • Transactions are permanent and cannot be reversed
  • Always double-check all parameters before confirming

Managing Your Tokens

After creating your token, you can manage it through the My Tokens page. Here's what you can do with your tokens:

Token Management Features:

  • Explorer:

    View your token on Solana Explorer to see all transactions, holders, and other blockchain details.

  • Liquidity:

    Add liquidity to your token on Raydium to enable trading. This is crucial for creating a market for your token.

  • Stats:

    View detailed token statistics and charts, including price history, trading volume, and other key metrics.

  • Remove:

    Disable the ability to mint new tokens. This permanently locks the total supply of your token.

  • Freeze-Unfreeze:

    Disable the ability to mint new tokens. This permanently locks the total supply of your token.

  • Burn:

    If you freeze your token it means you have paused it to transfer, if you thaw it it becomes functional again.⚠️ Warning: This action is irreversible and will completely destroy the token.

Best Practices:

  • Regularly monitor your token's performance using the Stats feature
  • Consider adding liquidity early to enable trading
  • Think carefully before using Remove or Burn functions as they are irreversible
  • Keep track of your token's blockchain activity through Explorer
