Why SUI?

SUI’s edge over other blockchains is that it could crack the blockchain trilemma: security, scalability and decentralization. On top of that, it’s a solid moment to launch on SUI, because if this chain scales, the builders who show up early will be the ones cashing in first.

1. Before you start: wallet and tokenomics

Pick a wallet

If you’ve just landed in the SUI ecosystem, chances are you don’t know all the wallets yet or how they differ. From our experience, we recommend two to get you started:

• SUI Wallet
• Nightly

That said, if you want to explore every wallet in the ecosystem and see our take on each one, check out our post comparing the best SUI wallets and decide for yourself. You can also check out our infographic on the topic.

Tokenomics for your token on SUI

If you want users to trust your token and actually buy it, designing a clear tokenomics is the smartest place to start. It also helps you map out the roadmap for your token.

Tokenomics comes from ‘Token’ + ‘Economics’ and explains how your token supply will work and be distributed. Meme coins and other token types can also have tokenomics, and it can be as simple as you want as long as it makes the plan clear to your community.

2. How tokens work on SUI

What is a SUI token?

It might sound redundant to explain this, but it isn’t. A lot of people don’t fully get what a SUI token is because they mix it up with launching the liquidity pool.

A token on SUI is a fungible asset that can be traded and works with a coin-like structure. It’s called fungible because non-fungible assets are NFT.

The difference with a Liquidity Pool is that the Liquidity Pool represents a pair of tokens traded on the market, with prices moving against each other. That said, creating the token doesn’t mean it goes live for sale right away. It just means it’s stored in a wallet. We’ll cover the liquidity pool in the following steps.

What can you use a SUI token for?

If any of these reasons match why you want to launch your coin, you’re in the right place:

• Asset tokenization: SUI tokens let you turn physical assets, like real estate or artwork, into digital tokens, making them easier to trade and accessible to a wider pool of investors.
• Governance: distributing SUI tokens inside a community strengthens governance by giving holders voting rights in Decentralized Autonomous Organizations (DAOs).
• Decentralized Finance (DeFi): SUI tokens enable more advanced financial operations, such as representing a share in a liquidity pool, since they’re transferable and can power automated processes.
• Loyalty and rewards programs: SUI tokens help you set up loyalty and rewards programs for a community, driving engagement and user retention. For example, you can use them to launch a airdrop on Ethereum without writing a single line of code.
• Memecoins: these are SPL tokens created mostly for humor or fun, tightly tied to degen culture, but sometimes they end up gaining serious value and a solid community behind them. Shiba Inu is a prime example, an iconic ethereum that keeps gaining popularity year after year.

How much it costs to create a token on SUI

How to create a Sui token, step by step

In the guide below, we’ll show you exactly how to create a token on SUI, step by step.

How to create a token on SUI, step by step

What each field does when generating a token correctly

Before you start creating a token on Sui, define the custom properties: Name, Ticker, Decimals, Total supply, and Description. Also think about whether it fits your project, whether it’s a meme coin, a utility token, or a governance token.

Name and symbol

Ideally, both the name and the ticker should reflect your project or idea. Make sure it’s easy to remember and that it doesn’t already exist on the market. The name and symbol are two key pieces of your branding and marketing strategy.

Description

The description is where you explain the idea behind creating your token. Briefly describe the purpose or use case of your token on Sui. Keep it clear, concise, and to the point.

Decimals

On Sui you can set how many decimals your token will use in transactions. For most projects, 6 decimals is the most common and practical choice, though it depends on what you need.

Supply

The total supply (or supply) is a core piece of your project’s tokenomics. It defines how many tokens will be in circulation. We recommend planning this number ahead of time and, where relevant, taking a hard look at your monetization plan and how you’ll allocate tokens to the team and the community.

Image or logo

Design a logo that grabs attention and stays true to your idea. The visual side matters a lot when you’re trying to attract potential investors and users. If you’re launching a meme coin on Sui, the image needs to capture the essence of the meme and be easy to share. Use a PNG file around 1000×1000 pixels.

Nice, your SUI coin is ready and it should show up in your wallet with its image. Now it’s time for the presale.

What to think about before opening a liquidity pool

Creating a Liquidity Pool on a decentralized exchange (DEX) is the goal, but there are a few strategic plays worth considering if you want to build hype around your token.

Building community here is critical: X (Twitter), Discord, Telegram; getting your token in front of people on platforms like YouTube; running promos through ads, X ambassadors, YouTube influencers and articles on relevant crypto sites. The list goes on. You can see how we handled our own launch on SUI and got integrated into its ecosystem.

The end goal is to drive demand for your token and create buy pressure when you launch it on the liquidity pool.

Above we covered strategies outside the blockchain, but you also have on-chain tools to promote your token. For that, dApps like SUI Multisender for running airdrops are particularly useful.

Know your audience

SUI is still a growing ecosystem, which makes understanding your audience both essential and relatively straightforward. SUI investors tend to look for well-integrated projects that actually get the community. You need to clearly communicate the unique value and benefits of your project if you want to earn their attention.

Use the right platforms

There are 3 platforms that dominate the crypto space:

• Telegram: perfect for real-time communication and building an active community. Set up a Telegram channel to interact directly with investors, answer their questions, and share regular updates.
• Discord: the best option for building a solid community with separate channels by topic. Host AMA sessions (Ask Me Anything) and encourage deeper conversations around your project.
• Twitter: great for pushing quick updates, reaching a wider audience, and sharing news within your niche.

Transparency and building trust

Transparency is key when marketing a presale. Many projects tell the community upfront how they plan to distribute the token supply. This is what we call Token allocation, and it’s reflected in the tokenomics.

If you don’t have a super detailed plan for how you’ll use the presale funds, at the very least make it clear how much will go toward creating the Liquidity Pool on Ethereum and how much to other activities.

After that, keep investors in the loop with regular updates on the project’s progress. Transparency helps build trust and credibility around your project.

Influencer collaborations

Working with well-known influencers inside the Ethereum community can seriously boost the visibility and credibility of your project. Look for influencers with a strong reputation and real credibility in the Ethereum ecosystem to promote your presale.

Airdrops and reward programs

Use airdrops and reward programs to drive participation and loyalty. Most tokens hit an initial peak at launch and never reach it again because there’s no real community backing them.

We’ll walk you through creating the airdrop in section 5, but keep in mind you can also do it at this stage.

4. Liquidity pools on Cetus

Creating a Liquidity Pool on Cetus, the go-to DEX on SUI, is essential if you want a decentralized market to run properly. We already have a tool that lets you do it the easy way, with no coding and at a very low cost.

Why open a liquidity pool on SUI?

liquidity pools are the reserve backing your coin and handle buys and sells from other users. Beyond earning income through fees when you create liquidity pools, you’re getting ahead of the curve by joining an ecosystem that’s here to stay.

Let’s look at how to create a liquidity pool on SUI.

Heads up

Once you create your liquidity pool on Cetus, your token becomes tradable and its price will move based on market demand. Only launch the liquidity pool when you’re fully ready.

Steps to open your liquidity pool on SUI

You don’t need to know how to code to launch a liquidity pool on SUI. Our dApp lets you do it in 4 steps, in under 3 minutes. Follow our full guide to create your liquidity pool.

How much liquidity should I add to my SUI liquidity pool?

Every blockchain has its own mechanics. With SUI, the way its infrastructure is designed, the low fees, and the ecosystem’s dynamics make the recommended liquidity ranges for launching a token different from those on other networks.

Below, we break down the SUI liquidity tiers, shown directly in SUI tokens. These tiers help you decide whether you’re creating a token to test the market, chase short-term virality, or build a longer-term play with active trading.

🎯 PRO TIP: Run a presale with your community before launch to hit the market with deeper liquidity the moment your liquidity pool goes live.

At this point, your token is live and open for buying. What’s next? Keep pushing sales.

5. Post-launch and promotion for your token project on SUI

Now let’s get to what really matters: marketing once your token is live and selling.

Airdrop step by step

To launch your Airdrop on SUI, we’re going to use our SUI Airdrop tool. This dApp sends the token you pick to the wallets you define in just a few minutes. You can also check out our tutorial on how to create a airdrop on SUI.
