# Step 1: Create token

### Prerequisites 

Solana CLI: <https://docs.solana.com/cli/install-solana-cli-tools>

RLY CLI: <https://github.com/rally-dfs/rly-ts/tree/main/packages/cli>

RLY TS: <https://github.com/rally-dfs/rly-ts/tree/main/packages/ts>

{% tabs %}
{% tab title="CLI" %}

```
npm i -g rly-cli
```

or

```
yarn global add rly-cli
```

{% endtab %}

{% tab title="TS" %}

```
$ npm i rly-js
```

or

```
yarn add i rly-js
```

{% endtab %}
{% endtabs %}

## Create your token&#x20;

{% hint style="info" %}
If you have already created an SPL token via Solana's Token Program, skip to [Step 2: Initializing Token Bonding Curve (TBC).](/rly-protocol/get-started/tbc-on-solana/step-2-initialize-token-bonding-curve-tbc.md)
{% endhint %}

### 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.&#x20;

{% tabs %}
{% tab title="CLI" %}

```
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
```

{% endtab %}

{% tab title="TS" %}

```
// 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>
{% endtab %}
{% endtabs %}

{% hint style="info" %}
The default configuration allows you to mint additional tokens after the initial mint.
{% endhint %}

{% hint style="success" %}
The initial token supply will be minted to the associated token account for the keypair creating the token.
{% endhint %}

## That's it!

In this section you should have:&#x20;

1. Created your on-chain SPL app token&#x20;
2. Minted an initial token supply to the associated token account
3. Verified your token and supply on chain&#x20;
4. Verified your token name, symbol, and logo on an explorer/wallet
