# How it works?

## Creation

Project creators can set up a token by adding specific details such as the <mark style="color:blue;">**Token Name**</mark> and <mark style="color:blue;">**Ticker/Symbol**</mark>, adding their <mark style="color:blue;">**Logo**</mark> as either a JPEG, PNG or GIF and adding social and community links.

Creators can also choose to place an initial purchase upon token creation, plus select which exchange they would like to deploy liquidity to after the Bonding Curve is reached.

## Deploy

Tokens are deployed through the <mark style="color:blue;">**Ape Express**</mark> platform, eliminating the need for prior experience with deploying smart contracts, as the platform manages it all for you.

## My Tokens

&#x20;Creators can easily see their tokens through the *<mark style="color:orange;">**"My Tokens"**</mark>* tab found in the Create section. This is where the token details can be updated after launch, including socials, description and logo.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.ape.express/token-creation/how-it-works.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
