# Minting Your Token

## Creator Allowlist

P00LS protocol is in public beta. As a Creator, you need to be added to the allowlist to be able to create your P00LS token. To be added to the allowlist, please sign up for the [Waitlist](https://p00ls.typeform.com/p00lswaitlist).

## Onboarding 

If you are on the P00LS allowlist, you can now create your Token! Follow the steps below to get started: 

**Step 1:** **Connect Your Allowlisted Wallet**

* Navigate to this site and connect your wallet: <https://creators.p00ls.io/onboarding>
* Your wallet should be a personal Ethereum address under your control (such as Metamask or Ledger)
* The address should not be a deposit address from a centralized exchange (such as Coinbase or Binance)
* Make sure your seed phrase is securely backed up and stored in a safe place

**Step 2: Take a look at your Top 10 Community Members**

* P00LS will confirm your wallet address and begin generating your [Token Economy](/p00ls-v2/token-distribution/token-economy.md).
* We will scan multiple blockchains to find all of your web3 [Engagements](/p00ls-v2/token-distribution/token-rewards-general/engagement-types.md): NFTs, POAPs, and platform or dApp profiles
* Once this is complete, you will get to view your Top 10 Community Members, along with some information about each future token holder

**Step 3:** **Configuring Your Token Details**

* Now it's time to start creating your token
* Assign a **Token Name**
* Assign a **Token Symbol**
* Review standard minting details:
  * [Limited Transferability](/p00ls-v2/p00ls-creator-tokens/transferability.md)
  * [Ethereum & Polygon Blockchain](/p00ls-v2/p00ls-creator-tokens/token-quick-facts.md) information
  * [10 billion Token Supply](/p00ls-v2/p00ls-creator-tokens/token-quick-facts.md)

**Step 4: Review Airdrop Token Rewards**

* To launch your token, we will [Direct Airdrop](/p00ls-v2/token-distribution/direct-airdrops.md) tokens to your existing web3 community
* All of the engagements we found at the start of your onboarding become your [Token Rewards ](/p00ls-v2/token-distribution/token-rewards-general.md)
* You should review all of the **Rewards** that we identified and the [Reward Size](/p00ls-v2/token-distribution/token-rewards-general/reward-sizes.md) for each engagement. You can remove Rewards by unselecting the box next to each Reward. You can also make additional edits to your Rewards after minting
* The **Airdrop Rewards** will convert into [Weekly Rewards](/p00ls-v2/token-distribution/understanding-token-distribution.md) after the launch

**Step 5:** **Review all of your Token and Airdrop Details**&#x20;

* **Token Names** `cannot` be changed after minting
* **Transferability** and **Token Supply** `can` be updated after minting
* **Weekly Rewards** `can` be updated post-launch directly through the [Creator Portal](/p00ls-v2/the-p00ls-protocol/p00ls-ecosystem.md)

**Step 7:  Mint and Airdrop Your Token**

* Minting a token is the process of making a new creator token and adding it to a blockchain
* The **Airdrop** will send tokens directly to the wallet addresses who are participating in the **Rewards** you reviewed
* Select **Continue** to begin minting your token and airdropping to your community
* The **Airdrop** to your community can take from 30 minutes up to 12 hours to process, depending on network congestion

**Step 8:** **You have a Token!**

* Your **Token Address** and a link to Polygonscan to view your token on-chain will appear on the minting page once it has completed minting
* Within your **Creator Portal**, you will find a Support Chatbot on the bottom right with help tickets and a task list to get started, as well as helpful links and resources to get you started with building your token community
