Token Creation
On the Create Token page, you'll fill in all the necessary information about your project, including:
Token Type
Deployer wallet
Token Details
Media & Description
PumpFun/Bonk Vanity Addresses
Social Links
To get started, click on "Create Token" button.
Token Type
Choose the type of the token you want to launch
Ballistic currently supports four token types: PumpFun, Bonk, standard SPL tokens (for Raydium) and Bags (on Import). Support for SOL2022 and Meteora is planned.
Deployer Wallet
Here, you can either generate or paste the private key of the Deployer Wallet (also known as the Dev Wallet). Alternatively, you can use the Primary Wallet associated with your account or reuse a previously used Dev Wallet from your account.
Always save up private keys you generate through Ballistic !
Token Details
Fill in all the necessary details of your token. If you select PumpFun/Bonk there are no Decimals and Supply fields.
On Solana, token names can be up to 32 bytes (characters) long, and the ticker (symbol) can be up to 10 bytes (characters).
Keep these limits in mind when naming your token. Ballistic won't let you create a token that exceeds them.
Media & Description
Just upload your token image and add a Description (optional), Ballistic will take care of compressing and resizing your image according to Solana requirements.
Description limit is 1000 bytes (characters) !
Usage of Vanity Address
You can opt for your token to end with "pump" (or "bonk" for Bonk). This feature is available even for Raydium tokens.
Social Links
Paste your project's links here. All link fields are optional.
Pro tip - avoid reusing Twitter accounts for launches. It will be shown on most of the modern scanners like gmgn.ai or Axiom
How to import/CTO a token
In order to CTO a token, simply paste the token address into the search bar, click on it and proceed to configuration.
When importing an already launched token, its metadata is automatically included. There's no need for a dev wallet, just a funding wallet is required, with only organic mode available.
That's it ! Click on Create and move to the next step.
