# Step by step Guide

DeAura makes launching a token on Solana simple, fast, and completely capital-free. This guide walks you through the entire process using the DeAura frontend,vno coding, no liquidity, no nonsense.

> ✅ All you need is a Solana wallet and about 0.15 SOL for gas fees.

#### Step 1 – Go to DeAura

Head to [**deaura.io**](https://deaura.io) and click on **“Launch Token”** in the top menu. You’ll be taken to the Token Creation dashboard.

#### Step 2 – Connect Your Wallet

Click **“Connect Wallet”** and choose your preferred Solana wallet:

* Phantom
* Backpack
* Solflare
* Glow
* And more

#### Step 3 – Fill in Your Token Details

You’ll need to define the core properties of your token:

* **Token Name**\
  The full name of your token (e.g., “Laser Finance”)
* **Token Symbol (Ticker)**\
  The short identifier (e.g., LASR)
* **Total Supply**\
  The number of tokens to mint (e.g., 1,000,000)
* **Initial Liquidity (in USD)**\
  How much liquidity you want your token to *appear* to launch with. This can be $1,000, $10,000, $1M any amount.\
  \&#xNAN;*(Note: No actual liquidity is needed, this is handled by DeAura’s launch engine.)*
* **Token Logo (Optional)**\
  Upload a logo to make your token recognizable on DeAura and other UIs.

> tip: You can launch with just the basics, no logo or fancy settings required.

#### Step 4 – Confirm & Launch

Once all fields are filled in, click **“Launch Token.”**

You’ll be prompted to:

* Approve a transaction (\~0.15 SOL gas fee)
* Confirm token and pool creation

After confirmation, the magic happens:

* Your token is minted (SPL Token 2022)
* A liquidity pool is created on **Orca DEX**
* 100% of the token supply is added to the pool
* The LP is burned (meaning nobody can rug or remove liquidity)

> ✅ Your token is now LIVE and tradable instantly.

#### Step 5 – Share and Track

Your token now exists on-chain, and is immediately tradable via:

* **DeAura Terminal**
* **Orca DEX**
* **Jupiter aggregator**
* **Solana-based wallets and bots**

You’ll be provided with:

* A direct **token page link**
* A contract address

#### What You Should Know

* You do **not** own the token after launch, it's a **fair launch**.
* Nobody controls the supply, and LP tokens are **burned**.
* No wallets hold tokens at launch, so there’s **no risk of a dump**.
* Tokens are **permissionless and immutable**.

> note: We're working on a system where creators can optionally earn a portion of LP fees in the future.

#### Best Practices

* Choose a unique name and ticker (avoid names like “Test” or “Token”)
* Use whole numbers for supply (e.g., 1M or 10M tokens)
* Promote your token early with a Telegram group, logo, and aggregator listing
* Add the token address to wallets and tracking tools for visibility
