How to Create a Shitcoin on Solana Cheap and Fast

Glad you landed on this post. It means you’re being honest with yourself: you don’t have a ton of capital to kick off your memecoin.

You’re doing exactly what 95% of meme coin creators do every single day. You just want to launch the token behind your meme, but you don’t have enough capital to put up a fat market cap or pitch a large-scale project to a community.

No worries. In this post I’ll walk you through how to create your shitcoin without writing a single line of code, the fastest way possible, plus the tips you need to scale it later.

Keep in mind that almost every memecoin started out as a shitcoin at some point. The difference is that the term “memecoins” tends to cover bigger projects with deep liquidity and serious market cap.

But let’s not get ahead of ourselves. First, let’s nail down what a shitcoin actually is, then follow the steps to get it listed. Let’s go.

WHAT IS A SHITCOIN?

When we talk about a shitcoin, we mean a token that isn’t backed by a serious project or innovative tech. Instead, it copies the model of another token that already worked, with the promise of big returns tacked on.

Successful memecoins usually come with a fully doxxed dev team and a strong community behind them. On top of that, the best memecoins ship with solid tokenomics, which is basically what lets transaction volume grow and the project scale.

Shitcoins come from a similar idea as a memecoin. The difference is that they may or may not be backed by a real community (meaning the creator can launch the token directly, no presale or social media community needed). The market cap is low, the liquidity-to-market cap ratio is well above 20%, and the dev team is almost never doxxed.

ARE SHITCOINS RUG PULLS?

Not necessarily. A lot of shitcoins are rug pulls, but not all of them. Every memecoin starts somewhere, and almost every memecoin that made it big was once a shitcoin.

Does that mean shitcoins are safe? Not at all. We always recommend digging into the info behind each project and checking out the community backing it. In fact, in this post we cover how to avoid rug pulls when trading memecoins, and we get into why community matters so much.

We get it: between limited liquidity and tight timelines, sometimes launching a shitcoin is the play. So here’s the step-by-step to get yours live in 3 minutes.

LAUNCH YOUR SOLANA SHITCOIN IN 5 STEPS

To pull this off, head over to the Solana Token Creator (https://tools.smithii.io/token-creator/solana).

To get started, you’ll need to run through the following steps before moving on to the marketing side:

1. Connect your Solana Wallet.
2. Enter the name of your Shitcoin and the ticker symbol.
3. Pick the decimals (6 decimals is the most common) and the supply.
4. Upload the image for your token (PNG format) and write a description.
5. Click “Create Token” and approve the transaction.

The tool also lets you add your first social links, including (as we mentioned earlier) your Website, Twitter, Telegram, and Discord.

On top of that, with the Smithii tool you can Revoke the 3 Authorities on your Token for just 0.1 SOL per authority.

Is revoking authorities important? Like we said, the shitcoin market isn’t safe at all, and every bit of trust you can build around your coin gives you a better shot at scaling. So if you want to grow, we recommend doing it.

At 0.3 SOL to create the token, plus 0.1 SOL for Revoke Update, 0.1 SOL for Revoke Freeze, and 0.1 SOL for Revoke Mint, you’ll have spent 0.6 SOL total, and this move will help you attract investors.

CREATE THE SHITCOIN LIQUIDITY POOL

We’ve got the token in our wallet. Now we need to create a liquidity pool so we can list it for trading.

You can do it in 1 single step. Head to https://tools.smithii.io/liquidity-pool/solana and you’ll see the following view:

This tool lets us create our liquidity pool on Raydium with a friendly user interface and starting at just 1 SOL (up to 3.5 SOL depending on the config you use).

1. Head to Create Liquidity Pool ( https://tools.smithii.io/liquidity-pool/solana ) and connect your wallet to use the tool.
2. Select the “Base Token“: That is, the shitcoin you just created, which doesn’t have any market value yet.
3. Select the “Quote Token “: A token that already has market value. Usually SOL or USDC.
4. Set the “Min Order Size“: The minimum number of tokens users will be able to buy.
5. Set the “Tick Size“: The smallest amount your token’s price can move by.*
6. Set the advanced options: Event Queue Length, Request Queue Length, and Orderbook Length (only if you want to use a cheap Market ID, starting at 0.4 SOL)**
7. Set the token amount and SOL/USDC you want to add.
8. Set the launch date (optional)
9. Click “Create Liquidity Pool” and approve the 3 transactions .

It’ll take a moment to finish, and then you’ll see the Market ID and the liquidity pool address . Save them, since you may need those addresses for future use.

*You can use this table as a reference for Min Order Size and Tick Size:

**Under “advanced options” you can adjust the size of your OpenBook Market. Here are the inputs you should use for 3 different sizes that I’d recommend:

KEY ASPECTS FOR CREATING YOUR SHITCOIN

Below I’ll walk you through a series of points to help you scale your shitcoin.

THE SHITCOIN IDEA

This is basically the most important point. More important than tokenomics, more important than doxxing the dev team, and even more important than the coin’s liquidity. The token idea is the first thing you need to scale.

All the elements I mentioned can be fixed. But if there’s no idea that can go “meme” at scale, you won’t get anywhere.

On our platform we’ve seen memes launch with an incredibly high market cap and a strong presale, but they failed to scale because the meme idea simply wasn’t replicable.

SHITCOIN SOCIAL MEDIA

A crucial difference between a shitcoin and a memecoin is a strong community. When the community is weak, you’re looking at a shitcoin.

Now, if you’re reading this post because you don’t have a decent community and you need to expand your reach to level up into a solid memecoin but don’t know how, you can turn to paid advertising.

There are hundreds of tokens being advertised on TikTok right now. It’s not a bad option if you haven’t been able to hit your targets organically.

Another path is going through influencers, which is currently the most common way to promote memecoins, since the influencer’s personal brand backs the token itself and builds trust.

Remember: more community means more reach, and more reach means more sales.

LOGO AND IMAGE DESIGN

Just two things: contrast and originality.

Contrast is what catches the eye of investors scrolling through listings on Dex, and it might be what pulls them in.

Originality doesn’t need much explanation. Just don’t slap a cat in a cap on it and call it a day.

SHITCOIN LISTING

Once you create the coin with our tools, it will instantly be listed on DexScreener and Birdeye.

If you want to list a shitcoin on Jupiter (which can be quite a bit harder), we need to access their GitHub and submit a Pull Request with our Token info. For more details, I’ll drop our video on the topic below.

CONCLUSION

Now that you know how Shitcoins work on Solana, all that’s left is to get to work. Remember that with Smithii’s tools you can handle every stage of your memecoin and you won’t need any coding knowledge.
