# Creating a Token

{% hint style="info" %}
FOREST is designed so anyone can create a token with full control over its mechanics.\
The flow is simple, but powerful - every step shapes how your token behaves from launch to long-term trading. Below is the complete creation process.

{% tabs %}
{% tab title="Fields You Set" %}
Start by setting the identity of your token:

* Token Image
* Token Name
* Ticker
* Project Description (optional)
* Social Links (recommended)
* X / Telegram / Discord / Website / GitHub
  {% endtab %}

{% tab title="What This Does" %}
These details appear on your token’s page and help users understand who you are and what the project represents.
{% endtab %}
{% endtabs %}

{% hint style="success" %}
Goal of this step: Make your token recognisable and credible.
