#### Token Creation <a href="#token-creation" id="token-creation"></a>

To create a token in a matter of minutes on CSPR.fun the following boxes and selections must be filled out.

You can create a token based on a bonding curve or by creating a liquidity pool pair. Please note liquidity pool tokens are not displayed on CSPR.fun but become available to trade directly on our DEX [Friendly.Market](https://friendly.market).

{% hint style="info" %}
Bonding Curve: a mathematical formula that determines the price of a token based on its supply. As more tokens are bought, the price increases; as tokens are sold, the price decreases.

Liquidity Pool: A liquidity pool is a pool of two tokens (e.g.,  coin + CSPR) locked in a smart contract on a DEX (Friendly.Market) to facilitate trading. The price is determined by the ratio of the tokens in the pool.

**Set your token to Standard or Tax**

Standard: Cryptocurrency token with basic functionality for transfers, holding, and trading, without additional fees or mechanisms imposed on transactions beyond network gas fees.

Tax: A token with a smart contract that automatically imposes a fee (or "tax") on every transaction, redistributing the fee to specific wallets, liquidity pools, or other purposes.
