Introduction

You do not need to know anything upfront. We will walk you through the whole process, from choosing a wallet to getting your token listed on an exchange and bought by investors.

Choose a wallet

If you are brand new to the SUI ecosystem, you probably do not know every wallet yet or how they differ. From base our experience, we can recommend two to start with:

• SUI Wallet
• Nightly

Still, 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 take a look at our infographic on the topic.

Tokenomics for your SUI token

If you want users to trust and buy your token, building clear tokenomics can be the smartest place to start. It can also help you map out the path for your token.

Tokenomics comes from “Token” + “Economics” and explains how the supply of your token will work and be distributed. Meme coins and other types of tokens can have tokenomics too, and they can be as simple as you want as long as they clearly show your community the plan.

What Is a SUI token?

It may sound redundant to explain this, but it is not. Many people are not fully clear on what a SUI token is because they confuse it with launching the liquidity pool.

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

The difference with the Liquidity Pool is that the Liquidity Pool represents a pair of tokens traded in the market, with prices moving against each other. Creating the token, however, does not mean it is immediately launched for sale. It simply means it is stored in a wallet. We will handle the liquidity pool in the next steps.

What can you use a SUI token for?

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

• Asset Tokenization: SUI tokens let you turn physical assets, such as real estate or art, into digital tokens, making them easier to trade and accessible to a wider range of investors.
• Governance: Distributing SUI tokens within a community can support 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 stake in a liquidity pool, because they are transferable and can power automated processes.
• Loyalty and Rewards Programs: SUI tokens can help build loyalty and rewards programs for a community, encouraging engagement and customer retention. For example, they can be used to run a airdrop on Ethereum without writing code.
• Memecoins: These are SPL tokens created mostly for humor or fun, closely tied to degen culture, but they can sometimes gain serious value and a strong community following. Shiba Inu is one example, an iconic ethereum that has kept gaining popularity year after year.

How much does it cost to create a token on SUI

The cost to create a token with no code is 7,5 SUI using Smithii’s Sui tools. If you want to add social links to dextools so it looks more professional, you will need to spend an additional 200 SUI. You can check today’s SUI price here.

Create a Sui Token Step by Step

In the guide below, we 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 token on Sui, define the custom properties: Name, Abbreviation, Decimals, Total supply, and Description. Also think about whether it fits your project, whether that is a meme coin, a utility token, or a token for governance.

Name and Symbol

Ideally, both the name and the ticker should reflect your project or idea. Make sure it is easy to remember and that it does not already exist in the market. Your name and symbol are two core 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 direct.

Decimals

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

Supply

The total supply (or supply) is essential to your project’s tokenomics. It defines how many tokens will be in circulation. We recommend planning this number ahead of time and, when relevant, carefully reviewing your monetization plan and token allocation for the team and community.

Image or Logo

Design a logo that grabs attention and feels true to your idea. The visual side matters a lot when you want to attract potential investors and users. If you are creating a meme coin on Sui, the image should capture the meme’s essence and be easy to share. Use a PNG file at around 1000×1000 pixels.

Perfect, you now have your SUI coin and it should show up in your wallet with its image. Now it is time for the presale.

What to Consider Before Creating the Liquidity Pool

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

Community building is critical here: 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 websites. The list keeps going. You can see how we handled our own SUI launch and became part of its ecosystem.

The end goal is to create demand for your token and build buying 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 this, dApps like SUI Multisender for running airdrops become especially useful.

Know Your Audience

SUI is still a developing ecosystem, and that can make understanding your audience both essential and relatively straightforward. SUI investors usually look for projects that are well integrated and understand the community. You need to communicate your project’s unique value and benefits clearly 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. Create a Telegram channel to interact directly with investors, answer their questions, and share regular updates.
• Discord: Best for building a dedicated community with separate topic channels. Run AMA (Ask Me Anything) sessions and encourage deeper discussions around your project.
• Twitter: Useful for quick updates, reaching a broader audience, and sharing news with your niche.

Transparency and Trust Building

Transparency is critical in presale marketing. Many projects tell the community upfront how they plan to distribute the token supply. This is what we call Token allocation, and it is shown in the tokenomics.

If you do not have a highly detailed plan for how you will use the presale funds, at least make it clear how much will go toward creating the Liquidity Pool on Ethereum and how much will go toward other activities.

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

Influencer Collaborations

Working with well-known influencers in the Ethereum community can significantly increase your project’s visibility and credibility. Look for influencers with a strong reputation and real credibility in the Ethereum space to promote your presale.

Airdrops and Reward Programs

Use airdrops and reward programs to drive participation and loyalty. Most tokens get an initial launch spike and never reach it again because there is no real community backing them.

We’ll show you how to create the airdrop in section 5, but keep in mind that you can also do it at this stage.

Creating a Liquidity Pool on Cetus, the go-to DEX on SUI, is essential if you want a decentralized market to work properly. We already have a tool that lets you do it easily, without coding, and at a very low cost.

Why Create a Liquidity Pool on SUI?

liquidity pool are your coin’s reserve fund, and they handle buys and sells from other users. Beyond earning through fees when you create liquidity pools, you’ll be getting ahead by taking part in an ecosystem that is here to stay.

Let’s walk through how to create a liquidity pool on SUI.

Heads up

Once you create your liquidity pool on Cetus, your token will be live for trading, and its price will move with market demand. Launch the liquidity pool only when you are fully ready.

Steps to create your Liquidity Pool on SUI

You do not 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 complete your liquidity pool.

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

Every blockchain has its own mechanics. With SUI, its infrastructure design, low fees, and ecosystem dynamics mean the recommended liquidity ranges for launching a token are different from other networks.

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

Category	Liquidity in SUI (recommended)
Very low liquidity	80 – 500 SUI
Low liquidity	501 – 3,000 SUI
Moderate liquidity	3,001 – 15,000 SUI
High liquidity	15,001 – 80,000 SUI
Very high liquidity	More than 80,000 SUI

🎯 PRO TIP: Run a presale with your community before launch so you can start with stronger liquidity once your liquidity pool goes live.

At this point, your token is live and available to buy. What comes next? Keep selling.

Now let’s get to the part that matters: marketing once your token is live and selling.

Airdrop step by step

To run your Airdrop on SUI, we’ll use our SUI Airdrop tool. This dApp sends the token you choose 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.
