📖Token Minter Guide
First, connect your wallet
You will then be greeted with this page, where you can fill in details for the token
Let's go over each input and what it means
Token details
Token name: Can be anything
Token symbol: Must only contain letters
Initial Balance
Wallet Address: Enter the wallet with which the initial supply will be sent to
Amount: Enter the number of initial tokens you want to mint
Note: We automatically add six zeros for decimals, so you can simply type the number you want.
For example, to mint 1 000 000 tokens, type 1 000 000 as shown below
DO NOT ENTER ANY TEXTS INTO THE AMOUNT SECTION OR THE TOKEN CREATION WILL FAIL AND WE WILL NOT PROVIDE ANY REFUND.
Admin Wallet
Admin wallet is the wallet that will have permission to mint new tokens
If max supply cap is more than initial balance, then the admin wallet can mint new tokens
For example, you minted 1 000 000 tokens to address A and the max supply is 2 000 000 tokens. Then the admin wallet can mint another 1 000 000 to any wallet he wants.
We suggest setting initial balance = max supply cap if you don’t know how to mint more using seiscan. Otherwise, check out CW20’s documentation here: https://github.com/CosmWasm/cw-plus/blob/main/packages/cw20/README.md#messages-2
Example of a failed token creation:
DO NOT ENTER ANY TEXT INTO THE MAX SUPPLY CAP SECTION OR THE TOKEN CREATION WILL FAIL AND WE WILL NOT PROVIDE ANY REFUND.
Marketing Details
Marketing details are sometimes used by projects to retrieve information about tokens automatically. However, in some cases such as astroport and compass, you need to manually submit a pull request for your logo to show up.
For more information on doing a pull request, please contact astroport or compass.
Post token creation
Q: Where can I see my token?
A: After minting, you will be shown a pop up with transaction ID and a link to seiscan. Follow the link, go to “Contract Instance”, copy the contract address and add it to your compass wallet.
Q: How can people trade my token?
A: You will need to provide liquidity to a decentralized exchange (DEX) to enable trading. Astroport is one of the DEX on sei, with many coming soon.
Q: How much should I provide to the liquidity pool (LP)?
A: The amount of LP depends on how much you are willing to provide. Please do your own research and pick an LP size that is best suited for your needs.
