Create a Token

Anyone can launch a token on Snekfun. There are no gatekeepers, no approval process, and no technical knowledge required.
If you want the product mechanics behind launch, start with Bonding curve, Creator rewards, and Trading fees.

How it works

1

Go to the launch page

Open the token creation page at snek.fun/launch.
2

Connect a CIP-30 wallet

Connect a CIP-30 wallet to create or open your Turbo Wallet.

Token creation from the Snekfun site currently works only with Turbo Wallet.

Fair launch by default

Every token on Snekfun launches with the same conditions:
  • Fixed supply of 1,000,000,000 tokens
  • Initial market cap of 2,550 ADA
  • No hidden team allocation
  • Everyone buys from the same bonding curve at the same time
This makes rug pulls significantly harder and gives your community and traders confidence that you’re starting from the same position as everyone else.
Upon launch, the token creator has the opportunity to make an initial buy on their token before trading opens. This buy will be visible to traders.

Creation fee

Launching a token costs a small flat fee of ~6 ADA. This covers the on-chain transaction cost and helps prevent spam launches.
The creation fee is separate from trading fees. It is a one-time cost paid at launch covering the cardano network fee. Snekfun makes no revenue on token launches.

What happens after launch

Your token immediately appears in the New feed and is tradeable on the bonding curve. As the creator, you’ll start earning a reward on every trade. How creator rewards work → You can update your token at any time from your creator dashboard. How to update my token →
