Create a Token
Define a new token using templates or custom configuration.
Token creation defines your token's metadata, extensions, and rules. The token is saved in SDP but not yet deployed onchain — see Deploy a Token for the next step.
Templates
SDP provides templates that pre-configure extensions and defaults for common use cases:
| Template | Decimals | Key extensions | Use case |
|---|---|---|---|
| Stablecoin | 6 | Permanent delegate, pausable | USD-backed tokens |
| Tokenized Security | 8 | Permanent delegate, pausable, scaled UI amount | Regulated assets |
| Custom | 9 | None (you choose) | Full control |
1. Open the create token modal
Navigate to Issuance in the sidebar. Click Create token in the top right corner.
2. Choose a template (Step 1 of 3)
The first step shows a grid of template cards:
- Stablecoin — USD-backed stablecoins with compliance controls
- Tokenized Security — regulated assets with an allowlist requirement
- Custom — fully customizable Token-2022 configuration
Select a template and click Continue.
3. Configure token settings (Step 2 of 3)
Enter the token identity details:
- Metadata URI (required) — HTTPS URL for the token metadata JSON
- Token name (required) — e.g., "Acme Dollar"
- Symbol (required) — 1–10 uppercase alphanumeric characters, e.g., "ACME"
- Decimals — chosen from the options allowed by the selected template
Click Continue when ready.
4. Choose operational settings (Step 3 of 3)
Choose the operational settings:
- Main signer — the controlled wallet SDP should use for deploy and later token actions
- Allowlist — enabled or disabled, depending on the template's rules
For tokenized-security, allowlist is required and cannot be disabled. Click Create token to save the draft.
5. Done
A success toast confirms creation. The token is now in pending status, ready to be deployed.
