Token Project Ideas and Tokenomics Patterns
An idea becomes a project when the tokenomics are decided. These are the patterns creators use most, with the trade-offs of each.
Non-custodial · One signature · Metaplex metadata + IPFS · Deployed on mainnet
Common supply patterns
Fair launch: all supply to the liquidity pool, authorities revoked, no creator allocation. Community-first: majority to liquidity and airdrops, a small transparent treasury. Utility: supply reserved for in-app credits with a published release schedule.
Whatever you choose, publish it. Unexplained allocations are the single most common reason holders walk away.
- Fair launch — 100% to the pool, authorities revoked, LP burned
- Community-first — majority to pool and airdrops, small disclosed treasury
- Utility — reserve for credits with a public schedule
- Transfer-fee token — Token-2022 extension set at creation
Sizing and permanence
Decimals and supply are permanent, so decide them before deploying. Liquidity depth is your choice and directly affects price impact for ordinary trades. Authority revocation costs 0.08 SOL on SolanaForge and cannot be undone.
See crypto project ideas for concepts, then deploy with the token creator.
