A Practical Guide to Launching and Growing a Token
A concrete, unglamorous plan: what it costs to mint, how liquidity and referrals work, and a 30-day communication schedule — with no earnings promises.
Create Your TokenWhat the platform provides
Referral fee share
0.054 SOL is shared per referred Solana launch (30% of the 0.18 SOL fee) — a fixed on-chain mechanism with no token or market risk to the referrer.
Creator allocation
You may reserve a percentage of supply. Its value, if any, depends entirely on whether a pool exists and how it trades — never guaranteed.
Liquidity pool mechanics
Owning a Raydium pool lets you collect a share of swap fees as trades occur. Whether trades occur depends on distribution and market interest.
Community pre-sale option
Some creators choose to let whitelisted wallets receive tokens before listing — this is a distribution choice, not a revenue guarantee.

Figures above describe platform fees and features. Token creation carries risk, and no trading, holder, or price outcome is guaranteed.
Best practices
- Pick a clear concept (meme, utility, community, AI, gaming) that's easy to explain in one sentence.
- Deploy a non-custodial token and consider revoking mint/freeze authorities as a transparency signal.
- If you create a liquidity pool, size it so the pool can function without extreme price impact.
- Consider locking or burning LP tokens — many community members check for this before engaging with a project.
- Communicate consistently with your community across the channels they already use.
- Share your referral link if you'd like to introduce other creators to the platform.
Frequently asked questions
What are the practical steps after creating a token?
Typical steps include creating a liquidity pool if you want the token to be tradable, considering whether to revoke mint/freeze authority, and communicating consistently with your community. None of these steps guarantee any financial outcome.
How much does it cost to start?
About 0.18 SOL (~$20) to mint an SPL token with metadata on mainnet. Any liquidity you choose to seed into a Raydium pool is separate and is your own capital.
What is the lowest-risk way to participate in the referral program?
Sharing your /refer link carries no token or liquidity risk on your part — it is a fixed 30% fee share for launches attributed to your link, described factually rather than as an income plan.
How long does community building typically take?
There's no fixed timeline — some projects gain traction quickly, most build attention gradually over weeks or months of consistent communication.
Do I need a large following to start?
No, but having some distribution channel — an X account, Telegram group, Discord, or niche community — helps get a project in front of people.
