# Creating Tokens

Call `createToken` on the LiquidLaunch contract to deploy a new token with bonding curve trading:

```solidity
function createToken(
    string memory name,
    string memory symbol,
    string memory image_uri,
    string memory description,
    string memory website,
    string memory twitter,
    string memory telegram,
    string memory discord,
    uint8 dexIndex
) external payable returns (address tokenAddress)
```

## Parameters

| Parameter     | Required | Description                           |
| ------------- | -------- | ------------------------------------- |
| `name`        | yes      | Token name (e.g. "Awesome Coin")      |
| `symbol`      | yes      | Trading symbol (e.g. "AWE")           |
| `image_uri`   | yes      | URL for token logo (IPFS recommended) |
| `description` | yes      | Brief description of the token        |

| `twitter`     | no       | Twitter handle or URL                 |
| `telegram`    | no       | Telegram group/channel link           |

## Initial buy protection

Any HYPE sent with the `createToken` transaction automatically purchases tokens for the creator before anyone else can buy. This prevents front-running / sniping.

## Creator restrictions

* **1-hour sell lock** — creators cannot sell their tokens for 1 hour after creation

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.liqd.ag/liquidlaunch-integration/creating-tokens.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
