While sending tokens on MINA using your wallet is a straightforward process, engaging in more intricate operations such as minting, selling, or deploying your own token might require the assistance of specialized launchpads. MinaTokens.com is the first launchpad for tokens on the MINA blockchain, offering a no-code, user-friendly platform that enables you to create, mint, burn, transfer, and even redeem tokens (specifically memetokens) with ease.
Currently, MinaTokens supports two distinct types of tokens: Regular Tokens and Memetokens. Regular Tokens operate similarly to conventional digital currencies, where creators mint a supply and subsequently sell or airdrop them according to market demand. In contrast, Memetokens feature algorithmically determined pricing that increases as more tokens are minted. The funds collected during this process are securely stored on the smart contract and can later be redeemed based on the total supply and accumulated value.
Powered by MINA Protocol and enhanced by zkCloudWorker technology, MinaTokens not only streamlines complex token operations but also democratizes token creation and management, making it accessible to both technical and non-technical users alike.
Creating your token
To create a token on MinaTokens, you need to visit the MinaTokens Launchpad and follow a simple step-by-step process. First, connect your MINA-compatible wallet to the platform. Once connected, navigate to the Launch Token section and specify the following parameters:
- Token Symbol — A short, unique identifier for your token (e.g., “DOGE2”).
- Token Name — The full name of your token, which will be displayed on the platform.
- Token Image — Upload an image or GIF (max 5MB) to visually represent your token.
- Token Description — A brief overview of what your token represents and its purpose.
- Token Type — Choose between a Regular Token (market-driven pricing) or a Memetoken (algorithmic pricing that increases as more tokens are minted).
- Social Media Links (Optional) — Add links to your project’s website, Twitter, Discord, or other social channels.
- Admin Wallet Address — The wallet address that will control and manage the token.
- Minting Details — Specify the amount of tokens to be minted initially and provide the wallet addresses that will receive them.
After you submit the token details, the creation process initiates automatically. Your only requirement is to sign two prepared transactions using your connected wallet:
- Token Deployment Transaction — This transaction creates the token on the Mina blockchain, setting its parameters and making it visible on the MinaTokens platform.
- Minting Initial Supply Transaction — This transaction mints the specified initial supply and distributes it to the designated wallet addresses.
Memetokens
Memetokens represent a unique niche within the crypto landscape. These playful, community-driven cryptocurrencies often originate as jokes but can accumulate real value through hype, widespread adoption, and strong online communities. Unlike traditional cryptocurrencies that aim to address specific technical or financial challenges, memetokens thrive on internet culture, memes, and social media engagement. Some of the most notable examples of such memetokens include Dogecoin (initially created as a light-hearted joke but later embraced by influencers and businesses) and Shiba Inu, which skyrocketed in popularity thanks to viral marketing strategies and a dedicated community. Typically characterized by high circulating supplies and speculative value, memetokens can experience rapid price surges during periods of hype but may also see equally swift declines as interest wanes.
Unlike traditional memecoins, memetokens on MinaTokens operate with a unique, algorithmic pricing model governed by a zkApp. Instead of relying on market speculation, their price is dynamically calculated based on total supply. The initial price starts at 1 MINA for 100,000 tokens, but as more tokens are minted, the cost increases linearly. For example, if 100,000 tokens have already been bought, the next 100,000 will cost 2 MINA, and so on. This system ensures that early adopters get the best price, while later buyers must pay more as demand grows. Since all funds from purchases are stored in a smart contract, users can also redeem their tokens later based on the current pricing model, creating a fair and transparent value mechanism that evolves with community participation.
