# 👩‍🍳Coin Creation

To make your very first coin, head to Sugar.[money](https://sugar.money), connect your wallet, and hit **“Create Coin.”**

You’ll need a few basics:

* **Ticker** – Keep it short and catchy.
* **Name** – What’s your coin called?
* **Image** – Upload a PNG, JPEG, or even a GIF. Square formats work best.
* **About** – Give it some flavor. What’s your coin about?
* **Social Links (optional)** – Add  X or any other links your community might need to connect and grow.

***

#### Creator Options

Once you’ve filled everything in, you have a choice:

* **Be the first buyer** – You’ll pay a tiny creator fee (\~0.03 SOL).
* **Let someone else buy first** – They’ll pay the fee instead.

Either way, your coin gets launched and listed for others to discover and trade.

> 💡 **Note:** The first buy and the initial trades right after launch **don’t earn points or tickets**.

#### Why pSOL?

By default, your coin uses the **pSOL wrapper**.\
Choosing pSOL:

* Saves you up to 18 SOL compared to other platforms
* Unlocks giveaways, cashback, and extra liquidity
* Strengthens your coin launch on Raydium

You can opt out and pair with regular SOL instead, but you’ll lose these benefits.
