# Coin Creation

## How to Launch Your Coin

Creating a coin on Anoncoin is simple. Click the **"Create Coin"** button on the landing page to get started.

***

## Step 1: Fill In the Basics

| Field           | Description                              | Required |
| --------------- | ---------------------------------------- | -------- |
| **Ticker**      | The symbol for your coin (e.g., `$DOGE`) | ✅ Yes    |
| **Name**        | The full name of your coin               | ✅ Yes    |
| **Description** | The lore - why this coin exists          | ✅ Yes    |
| **Coin Image**  | The logo/image for your coin             | ✅ Yes    |

> ⚠️ **Important:** The **ticker cannot be changed** once deployed. Choose carefully.

## Step 2: Add Social Links (Optional)

You can add community links during creation or anytime later:

* **Telegram** group or channel
* **X (Twitter)** page for the coin
* **Community website** or other links

These links are displayed on your coin's detail page and help build credibility.

***

## Step 3: Dev Buy (Optional)

Before your coin goes live, you can make an initial **dev buy** - purchasing your own coin first.

* Enter the **SOL amount** you want to spend
* An **estimated number of coins** you'll receive will be shown
* Final amount may vary slightly based on the bonding curve

Dev buys are visible on-chain and labeled on the coin page.

For more details on dev buys, see [Dev Buy](/creating-a-coin/dev-buy.md).

## What Happens After Creation

1. Your coin goes live on the **bonding curve** with a starting market cap of **30 SOL**
2. The **7-day ticker exclusivity** kicks in - no one can copy your ticker
3. Community can begin buying through the bonding curve
4. At **420 SOL** market cap, the coin **graduates** to a Meteora DAMM pool
5. You start earning **creator fees** post-graduation
