1. Set up a dedicated wallet

Create a fresh wallet for the launch (Phantom or Solflare on Solana, MetaMask or Rabby on Base/BNB). Back up the phrase offline.

2. Prepare name, ticker and image

Pick a name and ticker that do not copy an existing brand or token. Prepare a square image and a short honest description.

3. Choose a launchpad

Compare costs and creator share in the launchpad table. Pick the chain your audience already uses.

4. Create the coin

Open the launchpad from its official URL, fill in the details and confirm in your wallet. Check the fee the wallet shows.

5. Check authorities and liquidity

On Solana, confirm mint and freeze authority are revoked; on EVM, that the contract cannot mint more. Launchpad coins usually handle this, but verify with a token checker.

6. Publish socials and links

Add an X account, a Telegram group and a website. Use the same links everywhere so buyers can verify them.

7. Add token info on DEX Screener

DEX Screener sells Enhanced Token Info and boosts directly through its own site; no reseller is needed.

8. Build a real community

Talk about what the coin is, not about price. Never promise gains, never pay for fake volume, and label any paid promotion as an ad.
