Manage strategy token

Prepare the required data

In addition to the standard fields (Name, Symbol, Description, Logo URL), a Strategy Token requires the following:

  • Treasury address — the wallet that will receive 80% of the TON generated through automatic swaps. By default, this is the wallet that deployed the contract.

  • Treasury comment (optional) — a message that will be attached to incoming transactions when funds are sent to the Treasury address (80%).

  • Royalty1 address — the project team’s wallet that will receive 10% of the TON. By default, this is also the wallet that deployed the contract.

A dedicated step-by-step guide is provided in the interface for managing a Strategy Token, and you can follow it throughout the setup process

Step-by-step process

  1. Mint supply

Scroll to the bottom of the page until you see the Total Supply field and click Mint. To ensure the mechanics work properly, it is recommended to mint 100 million tokens.

A modal window will appear where you need to enter the amount of tokens to be minted and confirm the transaction in your wallet.

  1. Revoke ownership

⚠️ Warning: After revoking ownership, you will NOT be able to mint new tokens or modify the token’s name, description, or avatar. This is your last opportunity to verify all entered metadata and how the token appears in explorers. You should revoke ownership only after the metadata has been fully finalized.

Click Revoke owner in the Admin section or via the interactive guide

then confirm your choice and the transaction in your wallet.

  1. Set the minimum auto-swap threshold

The Auto Swap threshold is the minimum amount of tokens accumulated in the master contract before they are automatically swapped to TON. It is recommended to set the threshold so that the master contract always keeps at least 2–5 TON — otherwise the auto-swap function may fail.

A commonly recommended value is 0.1% of the liquidity supply. For a fair-launch token with 100 million tokens in liquidity, the optimal auto-swap threshold is 100,000 tokens. With this setup, an auto-swap will typically occur after roughly 1 million tokens of trading activity.

Enter the desired token threshold and confirm the transaction in your wallet.

As liquidity grows, you may gradually lower the threshold — down to several thousand tokens — so that auto-swaps can occur every few transactions during active trading.

After completing these three simple steps, your token is ready for liquidity provision and live trading.

Useful information about your token

You can monitor the Treasury balance using the token contract address or in the dedicated block on the management page.

The Manager address (by default, the wallet that deployed the contract) can request a TON withdrawal from the contract once sufficient funds have accumulated via auto-swap. This block updates dynamically based on blockchain data.

Adding liquidity

After deploying a Strategy Token, you must create a liquidity pool on DeDust.io paired with TON.

This is a strict requirement: the strategy contract supports only the DeDust DEX and only a TON pairother DEXes or token pairs are not supported.

To start trading:

  1. Go to DeDust and choose Deposit Liquidity.

  2. Enter the address of the Strategy Token you deployed and select TON.

  3. Deposit equal value of both assets (recommended: the full 100 million tokens + at least 300 TON).

  4. Confirm the transaction in your wallet.

Auto-swap and TON withdrawal

  • When enough tokens have accumulated (the defined min swap threshold), the contract swaps them for TON and, upon request from the manager address, distributes the funds as follows: 80% to the Treasury, 10% to Royalty1, 10% to Royalty2

  • TON held on the master contract is not withdrawn automatically. The manager can withdraw the accumulated TON at any time by calling the appropriate contract method on the blockchain.

  • Do not allow the master contract balance to fall below 2–5 TON — this may cause auto-swap failures. If this happens, a special warning will appear on the management page.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • What happens if I forget to add liquidity? The token can still be transferred normally, but buying and selling through a DEX will not be possible until you create a pool on DeDust.

  • Can I change the tax after deployment? No. The 10% tax and its 80/10/10 distribution are hard-coded and cannot be modified.

  • Why might Auto Swap fail? The master contract must maintain at least 2–5 TON. If the balance falls below this threshold, auto-swap may fail, causing delays in distributing funds.

  • Can I use other DEXes? No. The contract restricts usage to DeDust and only the TON trading pair. With newly released DEX contracts, there is a possibility that transaction fees may not be collected correctly.

  • How do I update metadata? You can edit the name, symbol, description, logo, and other metadata until ownership is revoked. After ownership is revoked, modification is no longer possible.

  • Is this safe? As TON Minter warns, this platform is only an open tool for deploying jettons, and the smart contract code is fully open-source on minter.ton.org. Never deploy code you have not reviewed. Ton Raffles only provides an interface for interacting with contracts and is not responsible for your actions.
