General Questions

Basic questions about CoinDevTools and how it works.

What is CoinDevTools?

CoinDevTools is a no-code web platform for creating, launching, and managing cryptocurrency tokens on Solana, Ethereum, and Base blockchains. You connect a wallet and use the tools in your browser — no coding, no accounts, no email required.

Learn more about us
Do I need to know how to code?

No. CoinDevTools handles all smart contract compilation, metadata storage, and transaction building for you. You just fill in a form and approve wallet transactions.

Is CoinDevTools safe to use?

Yes. CoinDevTools is non-custodial — we never hold your private keys, seed phrases, or funds. All transactions are initiated by you through your wallet. Our platform uses HTTPS, strict security headers, and audited contract templates.

What blockchains are supported?

Token creation is available on Solana (SPL tokens), Ethereum mainnet (ERC-20), and Base (ERC-20). Portfolio tracking supports 7 chains including Polygon, Arbitrum, Optimism, and BNB Chain.

Pricing & Fees

Costs, fees, and payment details.

How much does it cost to create a token?

Solana tokens cost 0.3 SOL (~$40-60), and that already includes revoking mint authority, revoking freeze authority, and making metadata immutable — those three toggles on the creator default to on and are bundled into the creation transaction free. Ethereum and Base tokens cost 0.03 ETH plus gas fees. Burning tokens is a free tool on every chain — you only pay gas. If you already created a Solana token with a toggle off (or elsewhere), the standalone revoke/immutable tools charge 0.1 SOL each afterward; updating metadata always charges 0.1 SOL; removing liquidity charges 0.1 SOL.

Are there any hidden fees?

No. The creation fee (which already includes the free bundled authority toggles on Solana) and the standalone management-tool fees above (revoke, immutable, update metadata, remove liquidity — for a token that already exists) are the complete CoinDevTools charges — see the pricing page for the full breakdown. The only additional cost is the blockchain gas fee, which goes to validators, not us. Gas is <$0.01 on Solana, $0.01-0.10 on Base, and varies on Ethereum.

Do I need a subscription?

No. CoinDevTools is pay-per-use. You pay only when you create a token or use a paid tool. No monthly fees, no accounts, no minimum commitments.

What payment methods are accepted?

All fees are paid in cryptocurrency from your connected wallet. Solana tools accept SOL. Ethereum and Base tools accept ETH. No credit cards or invoicing.

Token Creation

How token creation works across chains.

How long does it take to create a token?

The actual on-chain creation takes seconds: ~1-2 seconds on Solana, ~2-5 seconds on Base, ~12-30 seconds on Ethereum. The full process including form filling takes under 10 minutes.

Can I customize the token name, symbol, and supply?

Yes. You choose the name, symbol, total supply, and decimals during creation. On Solana, you can also upload an image and description that will be stored via Metaplex and displayed in wallets.

Can I change my token after creation?

On Solana, if metadata is mutable, you can update name/symbol/image using the Token Metadata Updater. On Ethereum/Base, ERC-20 tokens are immutable after deployment — all parameters are permanent.

Which chain should I choose?

Solana for lowest fees and memecoins. Base for EVM compatibility at L2 prices. Ethereum for maximum DeFi composability and institutional credibility.

Liquidity & DEX Listings

Getting your token trading on decentralized exchanges.

How do I make my token tradeable?

Create a liquidity pool pairing your token with SOL or ETH. On Solana, use Raydium CPMM. On Ethereum/Base, use Uniswap v2 (via our Add Liquidity tool). Once the pool is live, your token is tradeable.

Listing guide
How much liquidity do I need?

No technical minimum, but $500-2,000 is the practical minimum for a usable trading experience. Serious launches start with $5,000-50,000+ to reduce slippage.

Should I burn my LP tokens?

Yes, for public launches. Burning LP tokens permanently locks the liquidity, proving you cannot "rug pull" by removing it. This is the strongest trust signal you can give to token buyers.

How do I get listed on CoinGecko or CoinMarketCap?

Both platforms have self-service listing applications. You need active trading volume, a website, and social media presence. CoinGecko approves in 1-4 weeks; CoinMarketCap takes 2-8 weeks.

Token Security

Making your token trustworthy and secure.

What is a rug pull and how do I prevent it?

A rug pull is when a token creator removes all liquidity from a pool, crashing the price to zero. To prevent: burn your LP tokens (locks liquidity) and revoke mint authority (locks supply). Burning is always free, and revoking mint authority is free if you leave the toggle on when you create the token (the default) since it is bundled into that same creation transaction. Only the standalone tool, for a token that already exists, charges a fee.

Should I revoke mint and freeze authority?

For most tokens (memecoins, community tokens), yes. Revoking both proves your token is decentralized — no one can mint new supply or freeze wallets. Leave the Revoke Mint / Revoke Freeze toggles on when you create the token and it costs nothing extra. For utility tokens needing ongoing minting, consider turning a toggle off and using a multisig wallet instead.

Revoke authority guide
Do I need a smart contract audit?

For tokens created with CoinDevTools, no — the underlying SPL and ERC-20 contracts are battle-tested by millions of tokens. Audits are only needed for custom-coded tokens with unique logic.
