# Create Token For this we are going to use our **dApp** called[ Solana Token Creator](https://tools.smithii.io/token-creator/solana), this is a **software that will create our custom Solana Token**
1. **Access** [Solana Token Creator](https://tools.smithii.io/token-creator/solana) () 2. **Connect** your **wallet** **to** be able to use the software. 3. Enter the **name** of your **token**. 4. Indicate the **abbreviation** of your SPL Token "Symbol" (max. 8 letters) 5. Select the **decimals** **of your token** (most often 6 decimals). 6. Select the **supply**. 7. Upload your **tokenimage** (PNG format) 8. Write the **description** for your **Solana Token**. 9. Optional: Add Social links: Website, Twitter (X), Telegram and Discord. 10. Optional: Make the [token immutable](https://smithii.io/en/token-inmutable-solana/), [revoke freeze authority](https://smithii.io/en/revoke-freeze-authority/) and [revoke mint authority.](https://smithii.io/en/revoke-mint-authority/) 11. **Click** on "Create Token" and **accept** the **transaction**. ### How to create my own token on Solana We must decide on the token's custom properties, such as: **Name**, **Abbreviation** (Symbol), **Decimals** (determines the number of tokens in each lock), **Total Supply** and **Description**. Name and Symbol When it comes to **names and abbreviations**, it is best to carry your project name. If you do not have a NFT project, you should look for a meaningful name that has never been used before, but at the same time is easy to remember for the person who sees or hears it. **Marketing strategies** start operating from the choice of the name of your token! Description The **description** is where you present the idea behind the creation of the token, write **something simple and straightforward** that defines your SPL token in a few words. Decimals The **decimal** number of the SPL token on Solana can vary from 0 to 9. To create for whitelisting purposes, you should use the decimal number with 0. But if you want to create a utility token or an administrator token report for your project, **you should use the number between 6 and 9. The most common is 6**. Supply **Sourcing** is one of the most important parts, as we have to organize the financial landscape, this decision is closely linked to the **tokenomics** of your project, in fact we have a [guide on how to design a successful tokenomics](https://smithii.io/en/how-to-make-tokenomics/). Logo Image Logo design is another crucial aspect when creating a Solana token. When designing tokens, careful consideration must be given to the imagery and color palette of the logo to ensure it stands out. **This is a key factor in brand identity and attracting investor attention**, so we should strive for a unique and distinctive design. This section is even more important if what we are going to do is to create a meme coin on Solana, since the image must be representative and viralizable. Note, use PNG format and the size is 1000×1000 pixels. ### Revoke Authorities **Revoke Update Authority** means permanently disabling the ability to modify a token’s metadata. Once revoked, no one can update the token's name, symbol, URI, or other metadata fields. This is commonly done to ensure immutability and trust in a token. **Revoke Freeze Authority** on Solana means permanently disabling the ability to freeze or unfreeze token accounts. Once revoked, no one can lock or restrict transfers of the token. **Revoke Mint Authority** on Solana means permanently disabling the ability to mint more tokens. Once revoked, the token supply becomes fixed, ensuring no additional tokens can ever be created.
