START HERE

Before you start

Chippmunk is a non-custodial Solana token platform. You use your own Phantom wallet, review the transaction details, and sign transactions yourself. Chippmunk does not receive your private key or seed phrase.

WalletUse a Solana wallet that you control, such as Phantom, Solflare or Backpack.
NetworkSolana network is used by the live token and pool modules.
TokenYou choose the name, symbol, description, supply, decimals and logo.
LiquidityA token becomes practically tradable when a live pool has liquidity.
Important: Blockchain transactions are generally irreversible. Always read the transaction in your wallet before signing. A wrong address, amount, token or pool selection cannot be repaired by Chippmunk after an on-chain transaction has completed.
STEP 1

Create your Solana token

Connect your Solana wallet and open Create Token from the navigation.

  1. Enter the token name. This is the full name shown for your project.
  2. Enter the token symbol. Keep it short and recognizable.
  3. Write the description. Explain what the project is and what users should know.
  4. Add optional project links. Chippmunk's launcher supports website, Telegram, Instagram and X/Twitter fields.
  5. Choose the total supply. The launcher validates the supply before the transaction is built.
  6. Choose decimals. The current launcher accepts 6 or 9 decimals.
  7. Upload your logo. PNG, JPEG and WebP are supported by the launcher; the logo is uploaded to Pinata/IPFS for token metadata.
  8. Review the launch fee. The current Chippmunk platform fee shown by the launcher is 0.02 SOL, separate from Solana network/rent costs.
  9. Let Chippmunk prepare the transaction. The server performs validation and the token transaction is built for Solana network.
  10. Review and sign in your wallet. Do not approve a transaction until the wallet, fee and transaction details are correct.
  11. Wait for confirmation. Chippmunk verifies the confirmed on-chain transaction and returns the new Mint address.
What you receive: a real Solana token mint and token metadata including your logo. The most important identifier is the Mint address.
STEP 2

Check your token in Phantom

Once the token has been confirmed and the metadata has been indexed, Phantom can display the token name, symbol, balance and logo. Indexing can take a little time; refreshing the wallet may be necessary.

01
Open Phantom

Make sure the same wallet used for the Chippmunk launch is active.

02
Find the token

Look for the token by its symbol/name. If the logo is not visible immediately, allow the wallet/indexer time to refresh.

03
Use My Token Info as the source of truth

Chippmunk shows the on-chain Mint address. That address is what you use when looking up your token on explorers and trading screens.

STEP 3

Start a liquidity pool

Creating the token does not automatically create a trading pool. To make the token available through a liquidity pool, open Pool from the dashboard.

  1. Enter your token mint. Paste the Mint address of the token you created.
  2. Prepare the token side. Chippmunk currently initializes the pool with exactly 1,000,000,000 tokens. Your connected wallet must hold at least that amount.
  3. Choose the SOL amount. This supplies the SOL side of the SOL/token pair.
  4. Review the initial price. The token/SOL amounts determine the starting pool price.
  5. Review the costs. The current Chippmunk platform fee for pool creation is 0.01 SOL. The pool also requires the applicable Raydium CPMM creation cost and normal Solana network costs. Keep enough SOL in Phantom for the complete transaction.
  6. Connect your Solana wallet. The same connected wallet pays the pool costs and supplies the initial liquidity.
  7. Run the pool checks. Chippmunk checks the token and Solana network configuration before preparing the transaction.
  8. Review the transaction in Phantom and sign. The CPMM pool is then created on Solana.
After a successful pool creation: you have a live Raydium CPMM pool containing your token and SOL. The pool address and LP position can be viewed through the Pools page.
PHANTOM SECURITY NOTICE

Phantom may show a security warning

When you create a pool on Chippmunk, Phantom may sometimes display a screen such as the example below and block the request by default. This does not mean that the pool creation itself has failed.

If the transaction is the one you intentionally started on Chippmunk, carefully review the wallet, pool, token, amounts and transaction details in Phantom before signing. If everything matches what you intended, the transaction can still be completed from Phantom. Chippmunk is working to reduce these warnings and improve recognition of the platform.

The same type of Phantom warning can also appear when managing or removing liquidity. Never bypass a warning blindly and never sign a transaction you do not understand.

Example Phantom security warning. Always review the complete transaction before signing.
STEP 4

Understand the LP tokens you receive

When you provide the initial liquidity, the Raydium CPMM creates an LP mint and your wallet receives LP tokens representing your share of that pool. Raydium documents CPMM LP tokens as standard SPL tokens whose supply represents the total outstanding pool shares.

Your token+SOL
Liquidity deposit
LP tokensYour proportional claim on the pool

These LP tokens are not a second version of your own crypto coin. They represent your liquidity position. A wallet may show them as a token balance, and technically CPMM LP tokens are standard SPL tokens, but they are not normally something you buy and sell like your project token.

Do not call them “non-transferable”. The current Raydium CPMM design uses standard SPL LP tokens, so they are technically token assets. What makes them different is their purpose: they represent a share/claim on a specific pool. Your LP balance is what allows the pool's withdrawal mechanism to return your proportional share of the pool.

For your own pool, the easiest place to monitor the position is My Pools. Chippmunk reads the live LP balance from your wallet and displays the LP position associated with your registered pool.

STEP 5

Find and buy your own token

Chippmunk's current site does not act as the exchange itself. Once your pool is live, you can use a Solana screener or trading interface to find the token and then use your own connected wallet to make a purchase.

  1. Open My Token Info. Find your token card.
  2. Copy the Mint address. On the token card, copy the long address shown after Mint:. Do not copy the token name, symbol or pool address by mistake.
  3. Open a reputable Solana screener. For example, use Birdeye, DexScreener or Solscan.
  4. Paste the Mint address into the search field. Searching by the exact mint is safer than searching only by a similar token name.
  5. Confirm the pool. Check that the displayed mint, pool and token metadata match your Chippmunk token before trading.
  6. Connect Phantom to the third-party trading interface. Your Chippmunk account connection does not automatically authorize a third-party site; connect your wallet there separately.
  7. Review the swap. Check the token, amount, price impact and slippage before signing.
  8. Sign only in Phantom. The purchase is a separate blockchain transaction controlled by your wallet.
Never trust a token name alone. Many tokens can have identical or similar names and symbols. The Mint address is the unique identifier you should verify before buying or promoting a token.
STEP 6

Burn your LP tokens

My Pools contains the LP Token beheren link for your registered pool. In the current Chippmunk implementation that link opens Sol Incinerator, a third-party Solana tool.

  1. Open My Pools and find your pool.
  2. Use LP Token beheren to open the linked third-party tool.
  3. Connect the wallet that holds your LP tokens.
  4. Identify the LP mint for the exact pool you created.
  5. Review the pool and LP position carefully before selecting a burn.
  6. Sign the burn transaction only after you are certain you want to permanently destroy the LP position.
Burning LP is permanent. Burning your LP tokens destroys your claim on that portion of the pool. It is not the same as “removing liquidity”. If you burn the creator's LP tokens while the pool still contains value, you permanently give up the ability to withdraw that share. If you burn all of the LP representing the creator-controlled liquidity, that share becomes permanently locked.

For this reason, do not burn live LP tokens just because you want to remove liquidity. Burn is a deliberate, irreversible liquidity-lock action, not a normal withdrawal.

STEP 7

Remove liquidity — and why you normally should not

If you use the Liquidity verwijderen link from My Pools, Chippmunk prepares a Raydium CPMM withdrawal. You choose 25%, 50%, 75% or 100% of the LP position. The withdrawal returns the proportional token and SOL amounts from the pool, subject to the live pool state and withdrawal slippage protection.

  1. Open My Pools.
  2. Select Liquidity verwijderen for the pool.
  3. Choose the percentage of your LP position.
  4. Review the expected token/SOL amounts.
  5. Review the current Chippmunk liquidity-removal platform fee of 0.05 SOL plus applicable network costs.
  6. Prepare the transaction.
  7. Read the complete transaction in Phantom and sign only if everything is correct.
Strong recommendation: do not remove liquidity merely because you can. Removing liquidity reduces the pool's available trading liquidity. If you remove most or all liquidity, trading can become extremely difficult or impossible and your token's market can effectively be broken. Only withdraw when you have a genuine, clearly understood reason to do so.

Removing liquidity is different from burning LP. A withdrawal uses your LP position to redeem your share of the pool. Burning destroys the LP claim instead.

Phantom warning: the same Phantom security screen shown above may also appear while managing or removing liquidity. Review the complete transaction carefully. If it matches the liquidity action you intentionally started, you can complete the transaction in Phantom; never approve an unexpected transaction.

STEP 8

How to build a stronger Chippmunk launch

There is no official formula that guarantees a token will become successful. The safest “Chippmunk way” is to build a transparent project and let the market decide.

01

Make the token recognizable

Use a clear name, readable symbol, professional logo and honest description.

02

Set a sensible initial pool

Choose token/SOL amounts carefully because they establish the starting pool price and affect slippage and liquidity.

03

Be transparent

Publish the correct Mint and Pool addresses. Explain supply, liquidity and any LP decision openly.

04

Keep liquidity healthy

Healthy liquidity makes normal trading easier. Do not remove liquidity casually.

05

Build a real community

Use your website and legitimate social channels to explain the project rather than promising guaranteed profits.

06

Earn trust on-chain

Let users verify the Mint, pool, transactions and LP position independently on Solana explorers and market screens.

Good launch principle: make it easy for a stranger to verify what you say. A professional logo is useful; a verifiable mint, transparent pool and honest communication are much more important.
STEP 9

Automatic participation in Chippmunk Championships

Eligible Chippmunk tokens do not require a separate manual registration for the Championship. The current Championship system looks for active Chippmunk tokens with an active registered pool on Solana network.

1Create tokenRegister the token through Chippmunk.
2Create poolCreate the registered CPMM pool.
3Enter cycleEligible live pools are observed during the active cycle.
4CompeteLive market-cap observations determine the ranking.

The current Championship cycle is 6 days. At finalization, the system ranks eligible creator tokens by their highest observed market-cap estimate and awards points to the top three eligible creators, with the current point schedule of 1,000 points for #1, 500 for #2 and 250 for #3. The system also limits the final winners to one winning position per user in a cycle.

Participation is not a promise of a prize. A token must actually satisfy the system's eligibility rules and remain observable as an active Chippmunk pool during the cycle. Rankings depend on live market conditions; Championship results do not guarantee future performance.

DEVELOPER API

11. API 2.0 & developer integration

Chippmunk API 2.0 is the developer-facing, server-to-server interface for reading structured Chippmunk data and receiving signed event notifications. It is designed for integrations that need reliable programmatic access to Chippmunk token, pool, Registry and security information.

Currently free to use: Chippmunk currently provides API 2.0 without a separate API subscription fee. Normal Internet, hosting, database, blockchain and third-party infrastructure costs of your own integration remain your responsibility. Chippmunk may introduce or change commercial terms for future API features where permitted by applicable law and the applicable terms.

What the API is for

The API lets an external service or software integration request structured information from Chippmunk without giving that integration control over a Chippmunk account or a user's wallet. API 2.0 is intentionally read-oriented: external API consumers do not receive private keys, seed phrases, wallet-signing secrets or arbitrary transaction execution capabilities.

TokensList Chippmunk tokens and retrieve details for a specific Solana mint.
PoolsList supported Chippmunk pools, filter by token mint and retrieve pool details.
Token RegistryRead structured project links, tags, visibility and verification status for public Registry records.
SecurityRead automated risk indicators based on on-chain account and token characteristics.
UsageRead daily request and error counters for your authenticated API key.
WebhooksReceive signed notifications when supported Chippmunk data changes or a security scan event is created.

Who can use it?

You do not have to be the creator of a particular token or pool to read information that the API exposes. An integration can use publicly exposed Chippmunk data even when the API consumer did not create the tokens or pools being referenced. Access is authenticated with a Chippmunk API key and controlled by scopes.

Example: An integration can retrieve public Chippmunk token information, associated pools and available Registry information for indexing, analytics, monitoring or other legitimate data-processing purposes. The API consumer does not need to own every token referenced by the integration. The integration must still follow the API authentication, rate-limit, security and acceptable-use rules.

What the API does not do

API 2.0 is not a token-creation API, trading API or wallet-signing API. The public v1 endpoints are read-only. They do not give an external API consumer the ability to create tokens, create or manage liquidity pools, sign wallet transactions, transfer funds or execute arbitrary blockchain transactions.

Authentication

API 2.0 uses Chippmunk sf_live_... API keys. Send the key in the HTTP Authorization header as a Bearer token.

Server-side only: Keep your API key on your backend. Do not place an sf_live_... key in browser JavaScript, public HTML, mobile application bundles, screenshots, public Git repositories or other client-side code that users can inspect.
Basic request
GET https://chippmunk.fun/api-v2/v1/tokens
Authorization: Bearer YOUR_CHIPPMUNK_API_KEY

Available scopes

API keys use scopes so an integration can be limited to the data it actually needs.

Endpoint reference

01
GET /api-v2/v1/tokens

Returns a paginated list of Chippmunk tokens. Use limit=1..100 and an opaque cursor for pagination.

02
GET /api-v2/v1/tokens/{mint}

Returns details for a specific token mint.

03
GET /api-v2/v1/tokens/{mint}/security

Returns automated risk indicators such as token-program type, mint/freeze authority status, Token-2022 extensions and concentration indicators. This is not a smart-contract audit and is not investment advice.

04
GET /api-v2/v1/tokens/{mint}/pools

Returns pools associated with the specified token mint.

05
GET /api-v2/v1/pools

Returns a paginated pool list. You can use limit, cursor and mint filters.

06
GET /api-v2/v1/pools/{address}

Returns details for a specific pool address. Where available, the response can include public Raydium enrichment.

07
GET /api-v2/v1/registry

Returns public Token Registry records and supports pagination.

08
GET /api-v2/v1/registry/{mint}

Returns the public Registry record for a token mint. Private Registry records are not exposed by the public read endpoint.

09
GET /api-v2/v1/usage

Returns daily request and error counters for the authenticated API key.

Pagination

List endpoints use opaque cursors. Treat the cursor as an implementation value: store it temporarily for the next request, but do not parse, modify or rely on its internal format. Start with a reasonable limit, process the returned records, then request the next page using the returned cursor when one is supplied.

Rate limits and responsible use

API 2.0 enforces a per-key rate limit of 120 requests per 60 seconds and also applies client-IP protection. Design your integration to respect HTTP 429 responses and retry with backoff instead of sending requests continuously.

  • Cache data that does not need to be refreshed on every page view.
  • Use pagination rather than repeatedly requesting the entire dataset.
  • Use webhooks for supported change notifications when real-time updates are useful.
  • Do not attempt to bypass rate limits by rotating keys, IP addresses or clients.
  • Do not use the API to probe, scan, exploit or interfere with Chippmunk's systems.

Using the API in an integration

A safe architecture keeps the Chippmunk API key on your server. Your software or service sends requests from its protected backend to Chippmunk API 2.0 and then processes the returned data according to its own requirements.

Your software / service→
Your protected backend→
Chippmunk API 2.0

Do not put the Chippmunk API key directly into a public JavaScript fetch call. If a browser can inspect the key, assume it is public and replace it.

Webhooks

Webhooks are useful when your application needs to react to changes without repeatedly polling the API. Supported events include token.created, token.updated, pool.created, pool.updated, registry.updated and security.checked.

Webhook deliveries use HTTPS and an HMAC-SHA256 signature. Your receiving server should calculate the expected signature over the exact raw request body and compare it using a constant-time comparison. Never trust an event only because the request reached your endpoint.

Webhook security: Keep the webhook secret private, verify X-Chippmunk-Signature, reject invalid signatures, and make event handling idempotent so a retry cannot accidentally perform the same action twice.

Using security results correctly

The Security endpoint is an automated risk-indicator tool. It can identify technical indicators such as active authorities, Token-2022 extensions and token-account concentration, but it does not prove that a project is safe, legitimate or profitable. Do not market a Chippmunk security grade as an audit, endorsement, guarantee or investment recommendation.

Rules for integrations using Chippmunk API 2.0

Attribution and presentation

If your software or service presents Chippmunk data to users, clearly identify Chippmunk as the source where practical and do not make the presentation misleading. Displaying Chippmunk data does not give your application permission to use Chippmunk branding in a way that implies endorsement, partnership or official status unless Chippmunk has expressly authorised that use.

Errors and production readiness

Handle normal HTTP failures such as authentication errors, insufficient scopes, invalid parameters, rate limiting and temporary upstream failures. Responses include an API version and request identifier so a developer can diagnose problems without exposing server internals.

Never build critical financial logic on an assumption that an API response is permanent. Token data, pool state, blockchain state, third-party enrichment and market conditions can change. Validate important values and provide sensible fallback/error states in your integration.

Quick integration checklist

  1. Obtain an active Chippmunk API key with only the scopes your application needs.
  2. Store the key in your server-side secret configuration.
  3. Call the required endpoint with Authorization: Bearer ....
  4. Validate HTTP status codes and the JSON success/error structure.
  5. Implement pagination and caching for list endpoints.
  6. Respect the 120-request-per-minute API-key limit and back off after 429 responses.
  7. If using webhooks, verify the HMAC signature and make processing idempotent.
  8. Do not expose private API credentials or Chippmunk secrets to your users.
  9. Review the current API documentation before deploying production integrations.
STEP 10

Final safety checklist

Chippmunk gives you the tools. You control the wallet.

Every on-chain action must be understood and approved by you. No guide can remove blockchain, market, wallet, smart-contract/program, regulatory or financial risk.
