How to Create Token on Raydium Step-by-Step – Full Guide

I want to launch my own token on Solana, but I don’t know how to code or set up liquidity pools. Is it Your Sound too? If yes, you’re in the right place.

Raydium makes token creation accessible even for non-developers and thanks to its LaunchLab platform. In this post, I’ll walk you through how to create token on Raydium, step by step, without writing a single line of code.

Whether you’re launching a meme token, a community coin, or a serious DeFi utility token, this guide has you covered.

What You’ll Learn:

• How LaunchLab works (and why it’s a game-changer)

• Difference between JustSendIt and LaunchLab modes

• Token creation walkthrough with examples

• Setting up liquidity and earning trading fees

• Tips, common pitfalls, and costs

Why Raydium?

Raydium is one of the most popular AMMs (Automated Market Makers) on Solana. It’s fast, cost-effective, and offers deep liquidity via OpenBook order book integration.

But what really stands out?

• You can launch your token with zero coding.
• You get instant AMM support and liquidity tools.
• You can even add vesting, bonding curves, and fee-sharing if you’re feeling fancy.

Step by Step Process to Create Token on Raydium

Step 1: Connect Your Wallet

First things first. You need head to Raydium’s LaunchLab and connect your Solana-compatible wallet.

You can use:

• Phantom

• Solflare

• Backpack, etc.

Once you’re connected, you’ll see two modes:

1. JustSendIt Mode

Think of this as the “one-click token launcher” for fun/community tokens. No complex options—just name, symbol, supply, and go.

2. LaunchLab Mode

This is where serious builders go. You get:

• Custom bonding curves

• Token vesting

• Multiple quote tokens (like SOL or USDC)

• Fee-sharing models

• And more.

If you’re just starting, we recommend trying JustSendIt to test the waters.

Step 2: Fill in Token Details

Let’s go with a fun example:

Imagine you’re launching a meme coin called “TUNA” for your seafood-loving NFT community.

Here’s what you enter:

• Name: Tuna Token

• Symbol: TUNA

• Description (Optional): “Decentralizing sushi, one bite at a time”

• Initial Supply: 1,000,000

• Image URL (optional): Upload your logo to Arweave or IPFS

Click “Next” and sign the transaction. That’s it! your token is now live on Solana.

Taken Time ~10 seconds to create.

Step 3: Set Up a Liquidity Pool

Here’s where you make your token tradable.

Head to Raydium’s Pool Creation section.

You’ll need:

• Your new token (e.g., TUNA)

• A base token like SOL or USDC

• Some initial amount of both tokens (say 100 TUNA + 1 SOL)

Raydium creates the AMM liquidity pool. Optionally, you can also:

• Create an OpenBook market (costs ~0.4 SOL)

• Add your token to farms or incentivize liquidity later

Pro Tip: Revoke your mint and freeze authority after pool creation to ensure trust and prevent abuse. This signals to the community that you can’t mint more tokens later (rugproofing 101).

Step 4: Visibility & Listing

Once the liquidity pool is live:

• Your token appears automatically on Raydium.

• Traders can swap it using Raydium UI.

• If you created an OpenBook market, it shows up on Jupiter and other Solana DEX aggregators.

You can also:

• Submit metadata for wallet visibility (e.g., Phantom logo/icon)

• Promote your token on Twitter, Discord, Telegram, and Reddit

How Much Does It Cost?

All in, you can launch for under 1 SOL, depending on your setup.

Example Use Case: Community Token

A Solana gaming community launched GAMEZ using JustSendIt.
They airdropped it to early members, added a SOL-GAMEZ pool, and started rewarding top players with tokens weekly.

Within days, their token showed up on Raydium, Jupiter, and Solscan.
No devs. No audits. Just good vibes.

Common Pitfalls to Avoid

1. Forgetting to revoke mint/freeze authority → Could lead to trust issues

2. Low initial liquidity → High slippage for early traders

3. No logo/icon → Users might think your token is a scam

4. Unclear tokenomics → If you’re doing vesting or raising funds, document it

Final Thoughts

Creating a token on Raydium is easier than ever in 2025. With tools like LaunchLab and JustSendIt, you can go from idea to live token in under 30 minutes with no coding, no dev team, just you and your vision.

So… what’s stopping you? Your meme coin, DAO token, or community currency could be the next breakout project on Solana.
