Choosing your token name and symbol: rules and mistakes
Your ticker is permanent branding. Naming rules on Solana, availability checks and memorable choices.
Solana naming rules
Symbols are 1-12 uppercase letters/numbers; names up to 64 characters. Both are permanent after minting - no renaming later.
Availability check
Before ordering, search the symbol on Jupiter and Solscan. A collision with a famous token confuses buyers and looks amateurish. CoinPlex has an availability checker built into the order form.
Memorable beats clever
Short, pronounceable tickers (3-5 characters) spread by word of mouth. Avoid impersonating famous tokens - exchanges and aggregators may reject or flag lookalikes.
FAQ
Can I use someone else's brand?
No - impersonation violates platform rules and can trigger legal action.
Does the name affect price?
Not directly, but memorable branding improves community spread.
Create your own Solana token - no coding, full supply to your wallet.
