* **Name:** the full name of your token.
* **Symbol (Ticker)**: the shortening of your CW20 token name.
* **Decimals:** denote how much divisible your token is. If your token has 6 decimals, it means addresses can have as little as 0.000001 of your token.
* **Initial Balance:** To avoid creating a token with no quantity in the blockchain, you need to specify the wallet address and quantity for the tokens to be issued. If you're issuing a token for personal use, just enter your Keplr wallet address and the maximum issued quantity (Like the above image). Or, you can divide the maximum issued quantity for the team and investor, according to the tokenomics, and enter the wallet address and allocation quantity for each. Click the '+' icon to add more wallet addresses.
