By 2026, issuing a token on Solana will no longer be difficult.

The real challenge is to make this token liquid, have people trading it, and ultimately meet the requirements for listing on an exchange.

The problem with most projects is not that they "don't know how to issue tokens," but rather that:

After the currency was issued, a market for trading and circulation was not truly formed.

This article avoids conceptual explanations and breaks down the entire process, from scratch to being able to run on a CEX. It clearly explains what to do at each step and where the most common pitfalls are.

1. Characteristics of a healthy transaction structure

A properly functioning token market should have the following characteristics:

  • Daily Continuous Trading
  • Buying and selling equilibrium
  • Reasonable distribution of transaction amounts
  • The number of cryptocurrency holders continues to grow.

2. Market Failure Signals

The following situations indicate market structure failure:

  • No transactions for a long time
  • One-sided rise or fall
  • Excessive concentration of transactions
  • Rapid user churn

3. Difference between inflated trading volume and genuine market making

Traffic boosting tools

  • Circulating funds
  • Improve surface data
  • Does not form true depth

Professional market maker

  • Provide real buy and sell orders
  • Maintaining the spread structure
  • Support real transactions
  • Building market depth

VI. Fourth Stage: Data Platform Inclusion

The core platform includes:

  • DexScreener
  • Birdeye
  • CoinGecko
  • CoinMarketCap

These platforms determine the "visibility" of tokens in the market.

Operational strategy

  • Submit materials immediately after launch
  • Synchronous correction of metadata
  • Establish data records as early as possible

VII. Fifth Stage: CEX Listing Preparation

1. Core Review Dimensions

Transaction history

  • At least 30 consecutive days of trading records

Transaction stability

  • Not relying on single-point burst

Cash holding structure

  • Reasonable distribution
  • No obvious concentration risk

Liquidity depth

  • Supports normal large transactions

2. Key Focus Areas of Exchanges

The core issues that exchanges are concerned about are:

Will a stable trading market be formed after launch?

include:

  • pending order depth
  • Market making capability
  • Market behavior stability

Functional positioning of CiaoTool + CiaoAI

If we break down the entire process, it can be clearly divided into two parts:

  • CiaoTool → Responsible for token creation, permission management, and basic distribution.
  • CiaoAI → Responsible for liquidity building, order flow management, and exchange integration preparation.

The two combined cover the entire lifecycle from token issuance to eventual listing on exchanges.

Summarize

In the current market environment, issuing tokens is no longer just a technical issue.

The more fundamental question is:

How to design a market structure that works.

Anyone can create a token in 30 seconds, but there aren’t many projects that can keep the market running for more than a week.

If liquidity, structure design, and trading activity are handled properly, other issues become simple.

Conversely, if these fundamentals are not established, everything else is meaningless.
