Code Lab: Architecting & Listing Your First Sui Token

​In this intensive, hands-on Code Lab, we are breaking down the lifecycle of a Sui token from the initial coin::create_currency call to establishing high-performance liquidity on Cetus and Aftermath.

​This isn't just a lecture; it’s a deployment sprint. We will be interacting directly with Sui smart contracts, calculating \bm{sqrtPrice} values, and navigating the complexities of Concentrated Liquidity Market Makers (CLMMs).

​What We’ll Build

​• The Forge: Implement a standard Sui token with custom metadata and supply.

​• The Liquidity Layer: Initialize a Cetus pool using Move scripts and the Sui CLI.

​• The Math: Master the Q64.96 fixed-point math required for \bm{sqrtPrice} and Tick calculations.

​• The Ecosystem: Register your token with aggregators like Aftermath to ensure ecosystem-wide discoverability.

​Prerequisites

​This workshop is designed for developers who are comfortable with the terminal and have a basic understanding of Rust or Move.

​• Sui CLI installed and configured.

​• A wallet with Sui Testnet tokens.

​• A laptop with Node.js and a code editor (VS Code recommended).
