🪙Creating Tokens

To create a new token, call the createToken() function:

function createToken(
    string memory name,           // Token name (e.g., "My Token")
    string memory symbol,         // Token symbol (e.g., "MTK")
    string memory image_uri,      // IPFS or HTTP URL for token image
    string memory description,    // Token description
    string memory website,        // Website URL (optional)
    string memory twitter,        // Twitter handle (optional)
    string memory telegram,       // Telegram link (optional)
    string memory discord,        // Discord link (optional)
    uint8 dexIndex               // Use 0 for HyperSwap (only supported DEX)
) external payable returns (address tokenAddress)

Important: Set dexIndex to 0 as HyperSwap is currently the only supported DEX for bonding curve graduation.

Initial Buy Protection

Any HYPE sent with the createToken transaction will be automatically used to purchase tokens for the creator. This protects against snipers who try to buy tokens immediately after creation.

How It Works

  1. Token Creation: New token is deployed with virtual liquidity

  2. Automatic Purchase: Any HYPE value sent with the transaction immediately buys tokens for the creator

  3. Fair Launch: Ensures the creator gets first access to their own token

Token Creation Process

  1. Token Deployment: A new ERC20 token is created with your specified metadata

  2. Virtual Liquidity: Initial bonding curve reserves are established

  3. Initial Purchase: Any HYPE sent automatically purchases tokens for creator

  4. Ready to Trade: Token becomes available for public trading

Best Practices

Metadata Guidelines

  • Name: Keep it clear and memorable

  • Symbol: Use a few uppercase letters

  • Description: Explain your token's utility in 1-2 sentences

  • Image: Use high-quality square images (512x512px recommended)

Social Links

  • Provide at least one social link for credibility

  • Use complete URLs for website links

  • Twitter can be just the handle (e.g., "myproject") or full URL

Initial Buy Strategy

  • Consider Initial Purchase: Send HYPE with creation to secure early tokens

  • Anti-Sniper Protection: Protects your position from immediate competition

  • Price Discovery: Your initial buy helps establish early price momentum

  • Community Signal: Shows commitment to your own token

Creator Restrictions

  • 1-hour sell restriction: Token creators cannot sell their tokens for 1 hour after creation

  • This prevents immediate dumping and gives the community time to participate

What Happens After Creation

  1. Immediate Trading: Your token is instantly available for purchase

  2. Creator Position: You own tokens from any initial HYPE sent

  3. Bonding Curve Active: Price increases as tokens are bought

  4. Community Building: Share your token to build interest

  5. Graduation Goal: Reach 649.3M tokens sold to graduate to DEX

Your token is now live with your initial position secured, ready for the community to discover and trade!
