# 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

<figure><img src="/files/t5tFpvZsWZWXMUmZPMJS" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

* Token name: Can be anything
* Token symbol: Must only contain letters

### Initial Balance

<figure><img src="/files/Vzvwmb67THiIUx6C0GPB" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

* 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

{% hint style="warning" %}
DO NOT ENTER ANY TEXTS INTO THE AMOUNT SECTION OR THE TOKEN CREATION WILL FAIL AND WE WILL NOT PROVIDE ANY REFUND.
{% endhint %}

### 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](https://github.com/CosmWasm/cw-plus/blob/main/packages/cw20/README.md#messages-2)
  * Example of a failed token creation:

  <figure><img src="/files/elaBcHpURIHMLy2Ptgzi" alt=""><figcaption><p>Token creation failed due to wrong supply cap</p></figcaption></figure>

{% hint style="warning" %}
DO NOT ENTER ANY TEXT INTO THE MAX SUPPLY CAP SECTION OR THE TOKEN CREATION WILL FAIL AND WE WILL NOT PROVIDE ANY REFUND.
{% endhint %}

### Marketing Details

<figure><img src="/files/blAHhG5PhLxypYZbiVk9" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

* 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.
