# 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.

***

### 💠 Token Symbol

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

* `MCT`
* `CPT`
* `PUMP`

> 🔎 Tip: Keep it 3–5 characters long for better display in wallets.

***

### 🔢 Decimals

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

* `9` — standard for **Solana**
* `18` — standard for **Ethereum / EVM** chains

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

> 🎯 Set this carefully — you can’t change it after creation.

***

### 🪙 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)

***

### 🖼️ 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.

***

### 🛡️ 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 — and it’s **free** using our tools.

***

### 🔁 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.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://pump-tools.gitbook.io/pumptools/info/token-customization-guide.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
