Fake token for Phantom app on mobile (devnet)

Question

Hi I am developing a mobile dapp. Everything seems to be on the right track however I need fake tokens on my Phantom app (devnet) to test my app. My application is not complete yet, I think need more functionality so I think I can't use real tokens. So is there any way for me to get fake tokens on Phantom mobile app? Thanks everyone!

Answer 1

Metaboss is the easiest way to create an SPL token with associated metadata on Solana right now: https://metaboss.rs/create.html#create

Once you create this, simply transfer it to your Phantom wallet

Answer 2

You can create a new token on Solana devnet. As you are creating the token on devnet, it can be used for development purposes.

Note:- We can create the new token on mainnet by pointing the network to mainnet-beta. Untill the token is listed on a trading platform, it's value is 0.

// snippet taken from https://spl.solana.com/token
import { createMint } from '@solana/spl-token';
import { clusterApiUrl, Connection, Keypair, LAMPORTS_PER_SOL } from '@solana/web3.js';

const payer = Keypair.generate();
const mintAuthority = Keypair.generate();
const freezeAuthority = Keypair.generate();

const connection = new Connection(
  clusterApiUrl('devnet'),
  'confirmed'
);

const mint = await createMint(
  connection,
  payer,
  mintAuthority.publicKey,
  freezeAuthority.publicKey,
  9 // We are using 9 to match the CLI decimal default exactly
);

console.log(mint.toBase58());
