Creating your own Crypto

What do you need?

• Linux machine
  • Debian based.
  • I recommend the latest Ubuntu server.
• SOL (Solana) *at least $5 worth.
  • You can buy SOL through Coinbase.

STEP 1 – Create a Solana Wallet on CLI

1. Run this command to install the Solana tool.
   > ssh -c “$(curl -sSfL https://release.solana.com/v1.8.6/install)”
2. Exit your terminal and then reconnect.
3. Create your Solana wallet.
   > solana-keygen new
4. Check your wallet balance.
   > solana balance.

STEP 2 – Purchase Solana and send to your CLI wallet

You can buy SOL through Coinbase

STEP 3 – Install some Prereqs

1. Update your repositories
   > sudo apt-get update
   > sudo apt-get upgrade
2. Install RUST
   > curl https://sh.rustup.rs -sSf | sh #select option 1 for the default install
3. Exit your terminal and reconnect
4. More stuff to install
   > sudo apt install libudev-dev -y
   > sudo apt install libssl-dev pkg-config -y
   > sudo apt install build-essential -y

STEP 3 – Install the Solana Token Program (CLI tools)

1. Install the TOOL! (this will take some time)
   > cargo install spl-token-cli

STEP 4 – Create your token!!

1. Only one command!
   > spl-token create-token
2. Create a token account
   > spl-token create-account yourtokenaddress
3. Mint (create) some tokens!!
   1. spl-token mint yourtokenaddress amountyouwanttomint yourtokenaccount
   2. example: spl-token mint vXV3qR4WifEPiteogi9FDQveVthwrvEeRxpjyQdDHwq 500 3PgHtwNjNx4QzL5MfeTGLJkLCVwA7sotvm5MVXSyQvfj
4. Check your token account balance
   > spl-token accounts
5. ***OPTIONAL*** Disable minting to limit your supply
   > spl-token authorize yourtokenaddress mint –disable

STEP 5 – Transfer your token to another wallet

1. Setup another wallet (phantom wallet)(browser extension) —> https://phantom.app/
2. Transfer tokens to your new wallet
   1. spl-token transfer –fund-recipient –allow-unfunded-recipient yourtokenaddress amount recipientwalletaddress
