Questions

How do I create a token like SAMO on Solana?

On SPL Token Launcher, connect your wallet, choose your own name, ticker and logo, set the supply and decimals, keep or turn off the safety options, and approve one transaction. The base fee is 0.1 SOL; with all three safety options (on by default) it is 0.4 SOL.

What supply and decimals should I use for a SAMO-style token?

Samoyed Coin (SAMO) has a supply of 14,236,721,748 with 9 decimals. You can enter the same numbers (supply 14,236,721,748, 9 decimals) or pick your own. Most new tokens use the form default of 1,000,000,000 at 9 decimals.

Can I call my token SAMO or use its logo?

No. Creating your own token is fine, but using Samoyed Coin (SAMO)'s name, ticker or logo to pass your token off as SAMO is impersonation, misleads buyers and can infringe trademarks. Give your token its own name, ticker and artwork.

How do I make my token tradeable?

After creating your token, create a Raydium CPMM pool on the Liquidity page and pair it with SOL. SPL Token Launcher charges no platform fee for the pool; Raydium's own pool fee applies. Once the pool exists, aggregators such as Jupiter can route trades to it.
