Create your token

If you have already created an SPL token via Solana's Token Program, skip to Step 2: Initializing Token Bonding Curve (TBC).

Step 1: Create Token

Configure your token parameters, additional metadata, and the initial token supply to mint. A balance of at least 1 SOL is required.

rly-cli create-token [options]

Options:
  -e, --env <string>     Solana cluster env name (default:
                         "devnet")
  -k, --keypair <path>   Solana wallet location (default:
                         "--keypair not provided")
  -n, --name <string>    token name
  -s, --symbol <string>  token symbol
  -d, --dec <number>     token decimals (default: "9")
  --supply <number>      initial supply (integer value)
  -h, --help             display help for command

// token

import { Keypair, Connection, clusterApiUrl } from 'solana/web3js`;
import { createToken, getMetadata } from 'rly-js';

const initialSupply = new BN(1_000_000);
const name = "TestToken";
const symbol = "TKNSYMBL";
const decimals = 9

const walletKeyPair = Keypair.generate();
const connection = new Connection(clusterApiUrl("devnet"))
const wallet = new NodeWallet(walletKeyPair)

//create token

const { tx, tokenMint } = await createToken({
            initialSupply,
            tokenData: { name, symbol, decimals },
            connection,
            wallet
        })

// fetch metadata

const metadata await getMetadata({ tokenMint: tokenMint.publicKey, connection })

Examples: https://github.com/rally-dfs/dfs-ts/tree/main/ts/tests

The default configuration allows you to mint additional tokens after the initial mint.

The initial token supply will be minted to the associated token account for the keypair creating the token.

That's it!

In this section you should have:

Created your on-chain SPL app token
Minted an initial token supply to the associated token account
Verified your token and supply on chain
Verified your token name, symbol, and logo on an explorer/wallet
