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.

Costs, fees, and payment details.
How much does it cost to create a token?
Solana tokens cost 0.3 SOL (~$40-60). Ethereum and Base tokens cost 0.03 ETH plus gas fees. Token management tools (burn, revoke, etc.) are free — you only pay the blockchain gas.
See full pricing →Are there any hidden fees?
No. The creation fee is the only CoinDevTools charge. 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.
Full creation guide →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.

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.

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). These are free on CoinDevTools.
Learn more →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. For utility tokens needing ongoing minting, consider 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.
