# Token creation

A corporate user makes a token creation request; admin approves/disapproves this request.

*Note: Token creation is just an announcement that states the existence of a token and its properties on the platform. Actual coins are not issued at that point.*

### Step-by-step <a href="#step-by-step" id="step-by-step"></a>

Step 1. In the navigation bar, go to **Create token**\
Step 2. In the Upload icon, upload an image from your computer that will be a primary logo for your token\
Step 3. In the **Token name** box, type the name of the token *(**Example:** CustomToken)*\
Step 4. In the **Token code** box, type the code of the token *(**Example:** CSTT)*\
Step 5. In the **Max issuance amount** box, enter the maximum amount of coins to be issued *(**Example:** 1000)*\
Step 6. Select/clear the **Transferable** check box *(to learn more, check* [*properties of user-issued tokens*](/product-guide/user-guide/user-issued-tokens/properties-of-user-issued-tokens.md)*)*\
Step 7. Select/clear the **Requires KYC** check box *(to learn more, check* [*properties of user-issued tokens*](/product-guide/user-guide/user-issued-tokens/properties-of-user-issued-tokens.md)*)*\
Step 8. In the **Upload terms,** upload the terms of use file *(a pdf document that states the terms of use for your token)*\
Step 9. Select/clear the **I want to make additional issuance later** check box *(to learn more, check*[ *token pre-issuance*](/product-guide/user-guide/user-issued-tokens/token-pre-issuance.md)*)*\
Step 10. In the **Pre-issued asset signer** box, enter the public key which will later be used to pre-issue the tokens *(**Note:** this step is essential only if you selected the **I want to make additional issuance later** check box)*\
Step 11. In the **Initial pre-issued amount** box, enter the amount of coins that will be pre-issued automatically after admin approved the token creation request (You can set 0 as well. ***Note:** this step is only essential if you selected the **I want to make additional issuance later** check box)*\
Step 12. Click **Submit**\
Step 13. Wait for the [admin approval](/product-guide/admins/user-issued-tokens-management/review-the-token-creation-request.md) *(the flow on the part of admin is described in* [*user tokens management*](/product-guide/admins/user-issued-tokens-management/overview.md)*. **Note:** you can* [*check the state of your request*](/product-guide/user-guide/user-issued-tokens/check-the-requests-state.md) *and even* [*update it* ](/product-guide/user-guide/user-issued-tokens/update-the-token-creation-request.md)*while it’s pending).*

In case admin marked your request as **rejected** and described the **reject reason**, you can update it taking to attention the remarks of admin and submit the request again.

If your request has been marked as **permanently rejected**, then you won’t ever be able to create the token with the same asset cod&#x65;**.**
