Prerequisites for Token Creation
Before beginning your token creation journey, ensure you have:

- Choose "Phantom" from the wallet options
- Approve the connection request
Note: If you see an error message, refresh the page and verify your Phantom Wallet installation.

Required Fields:

Understanding Decimal Precision
Decimal places serve several critical functions:
- Defines smallest unit: Determines how divisible your token can be
- Affects display: Impacts how wallets and exchanges show your token
- Governs supply limits: Higher precision allows larger total supplies
Example: With 9 decimals, your maximum supply cannot exceed 10 billion tokens.
3. Creating Your Token
After verifying all information:
- Click "Create Token"
- Approve the transaction in Phantom Wallet
- Wait for confirmation (typically takes seconds)
Success Indicator: Fee deduction confirms creation—no fee means no token was created.
Verifying Your New Token
Check your creation success through:
- Solana Explorer: View token metadata and logo
- Phantom Wallet: See your token balance (logos may take hours/days to appear)
