THE HATCHERY
GUIDED TOKEN CREATOR
The Hatchery creates a token — it deploys a fixed-supply SPL token
on Solana with the name, logo, and authority settings you choose, and
explains each decision as you make it. That is all a token is at the
start: a contract with a name and a supply. It has no price, no
market, and no value until liquidity is added.
🥚 Creating a token is not launching a
project. A token with no liquidity is inert — it can't be bought or sold.
The Hatchery stops at the mint on purpose; adding liquidity is a separate,
higher-stakes step you take yourself — and there's a full Launch
Liquidity Guide on this page you can read before you mint, or after.

Revoke mint authority
After the full supply is minted, no more can ever be created. Supply is locked forever. Buyers look for this — it's the difference between a fixed token and one the dev can inflate.

Revoke freeze authority
No one can ever freeze a holder's tokens. Leaving freeze authority active is a common rug vector — revoking it removes that power entirely.

A third authority worth knowing — metadata (update authority).
Beyond mint and freeze there's the update authority: it controls whether your token's name, logo, and socials can be changed after launch. This minter leaves your metadata mutable on purpose — so you can fix a broken image or legitimately rebrand later. The tradeoff is real: a mutable token asks buyers to trust you won't bait-and-switch, while an immutable one locks the branding forever. Rug-checkers — including our own Token Autopsy — surface which one it is. If you'd rather lock yours permanently, you can set the metadata immutable or renounce the update authority after minting with a Metaplex tool (e.g. the Metaboss CLI). Neither choice is "right" — just know who can change what, because your holders will check.

📖 WHAT HAPPENS AFTER YOU MINT — THE LAUNCH LIQUIDITY GUIDE (read anytime)
A token is inert until liquidity is added — no price, no market,
nothing to trade. This is what that next step involves. Read it
before you do it: it's where real money is at stake, and it is not
something to improvise. The Hatchery does not add liquidity for you
— you do this yourself, on a DEX.
⚠️ Don't add a single dollar of liquidity until you
understand all four sections below. The LP Lab goes deeper still.
1 · Starting ratio — this sets your opening price.
To open a pool you deposit two things: your token and SOL (or USDC). The
ratio of those amounts is the starting price — fewer tokens
against more SOL opens higher, more tokens against less SOL opens lower.
It is the single most consequential number in a launch. Decide the
opening price you intend first, then work the deposit amounts backward
from it.
⚖️ STARTING-PRICE CALCULATOR
Pair with:
Enter the amounts to see your token's opening price.
ⓘ SOL vs. USDC pairing matters. If you pair with SOL, your token's price is set in SOL — so its dollar value rides SOL's: SOL up 20% and your untraded token is worth 20% more in USD; SOL down 20% and so is your token, even though nothing about it changed. Pairing with USDC anchors the price to the dollar instead. Neither is wrong — just know a SOL pair ties your token's USD value to SOL's swings.
2 · Standard pool vs. concentrated liquidity — the
decision new creators get wrong most.
A standard pool (constant-product AMM) spreads your liquidity across every price from zero to infinity. Simple and forgiving — there is always liquidity at every price. Most tokens should launch this way.
A concentrated-liquidity pool lets you place liquidity only inside a chosen price range. Far more capital-efficient — but on a brand-new token it is a sharp tool that cuts you if mishandled:
• If price trades outside your range, your position becomes 100% one asset and stops earning fees — a too-tight range can leave a fresh token with effectively no liquidity within minutes of launch.
• With no price history, you're guessing the range blind. Too narrow and a normal early swing strands it; too wide and it behaves like a standard pool anyway.
• For a first launch: use a standard pool, or a concentrated pool with a very wide range. Tight ranges are a tool for managing an established token — not for opening a new one.
• Single-sided positions: some concentrated pools let you deposit only your token (no SOL) in a range above the current price — a staged sell wall. A deliberate strategy, never a default. Understand it fully first.

3 · Locking the liquidity. Whether you lock or
burn the LP tokens you receive when the pool is created. Buyers check
this — unlocked liquidity is the classic rug vector (the creator can pull
it). Locking or burning is what signals you won't.
4 · Where to add it. Each DEX has its own pool
creation flow — note which support concentrated liquidity:
• Meteora ↗ — DLMM pools are concentrated-liquidity; also has simpler dynamic pools. Popular for memecoin launches.
• Raydium ↗ — standard AMM pools plus concentrated (CLMM). The most widely integrated DEX on Solana.
• Orca ↗ — Whirlpools are concentrated-liquidity, with a clean, beginner-friendly interface.

📚 Learn the full math first — the LP Lab.
The LP Lab on
clucknorris.app ↗ teaches liquidity, AMMs, impermanent loss, fee
structures, and concentrated liquidity in depth. Work through it before
you open a pool. The Hatchery stops at the mint on purpose — the launch
is yours, and it's worth doing slowly.
I understand this creates a real token on Solana mainnet,
costs a small amount of SOL in network fees, and that authority
revocations are permanent.
I understand the Hatchery only mints the token. It is
not tradable until I add liquidity myself on a DEX — a
separate step that Cluck Norris does not perform. Cluck Norris provides
education for that step (the LP Lab), but the launch is mine to do.
