Use Case
Create a DAO Governance Token
Give your community a voice. Launch a governance token with provably fixed supply and immutable metadata — the foundation of credible on-chain governance.
The Playbook
Design your tokenomics
Decide on the total supply, token name, and symbol. For governance tokens, a fixed supply with no future minting is standard — it ensures voting power can't be diluted.
Create the token
Use CoinDevTools to mint your governance token with metadata (name, symbol, logo, description). Works on Solana (SPL) or Ethereum/Base (ERC-20).
Lock the supply
Revoke mint authority (Solana) or renounce contract ownership (Ethereum/Base). This cryptographically guarantees no new tokens can ever be created.
Distribute to members
Airdrop tokens to founding members, allocate to a treasury multisig, or create a liquidity pool for public distribution.
Integrate with governance
Connect your token to a governance platform like Realms (Solana), Snapshot, or Tally for on-chain or off-chain voting.

FAQ
What makes a good governance token?
A good governance token has a fixed supply (mint authority revoked), clear distribution (no single wallet holds majority), and utility beyond voting (staking rewards, fee sharing, access gating). Transparency in tokenomics is critical for DAO credibility.
Do I need to write smart contracts for a DAO token?
No. CoinDevTools creates the token for you. For the governance logic itself, platforms like Realms (Solana) and Snapshot (EVM) provide no-code governance frameworks that work with any standard token.
Which chain is best for a DAO token?
Ethereum has the most mature DAO tooling (Snapshot, Tally, Safe multisig). Solana is faster and cheaper for frequent voting. Base offers Ethereum compatibility at L2 costs. Choose based on where your community already lives.
