Token Customization Guide

When creating a token with Pump Tools, you have full control over its configuration. This guide will help you understand each parameter and how to use it effectively.


🏷️ Token Name

The name of your token is its full title, like:

  • My Cool Token

  • CryptoPoints

  • PumpCoin

This is what users will see in wallets and explorers.


πŸ’  Token Symbol

The symbol is a short, uppercase abbreviation of your token’s name. Example:

  • MCT

  • CPT

  • PUMP

πŸ”Ž Tip: Keep it 3–5 characters long for better display in wallets.


πŸ”’ Decimals

Decimals define how divisible your token is. Most common values:

  • 9 β€” standard for Solana

  • 18 β€” standard for Ethereum / EVM chains

If you set 9 decimals and mint 1000 tokens, users will see 1,000.000000000.

🎯 Set this carefully β€” you can’t change it after creation.


πŸͺ™ Initial Supply

The number of tokens to mint when the token is created. You can mint more later (for free) if you keep mint authority.

Examples:

  • 1,000,000

  • 21,000,000

  • 1,000 (for limited supply tokens)


πŸ–ΌοΈ Metadata (Optional)

You can also set token metadata such as:

  • Logo URL

  • Website link

  • Description

This information may be used by wallets and explorers to show your token properly.


πŸ›‘οΈ Authorities

By default, you (the wallet that creates the token) will have full control:

  • Mint Authority (to create more tokens)

  • Freeze Authority (if needed)

You can revoke these at any time for added decentralization β€” and it’s free using our tools.


πŸ” Need to update?

You can update metadata or mint/burn tokens anytime for free using the tools built into Pump Tools.


If you’re unsure about any setting, feel free to reach out or check the FAQ.
