Questions
How do I distribute social tokens to my community?
After creating your token, you can airdrop to followers, reward engagement, sell through your community, or add liquidity on Raydium for open trading. SPL Token Launcher creates the token — distribution is up to you.
Can I gate Discord access with my social token?
Yes. Use tools like Collab.Land or Grape Protocol to token-gate Discord channels. Members need to hold a minimum amount of your social token to access exclusive channels.
What supply should a social token have?
1M to 100M depending on your audience size. Smaller supply creates more scarcity and perceived value. Consider how many tokens each fan should hold.
