# Whitelist for CoinMaker Tokens

When creating your coin on CoinMaker, you have the option to enable the **Whitelist Module**. The Whitelist Module is used to control which addresses are allowed transfer your token. This is useful for compliance or creating a token with restricted transfers.\
\
Using Whitelists in Fairlaunch Scenarios

A **whitelist** is particularly useful in various scenarios, notably during token fair launches on platforms such as [fairlaunch.defi.ao](https://fairlaunch.defi.ao). 

#### Scenario Example: Controlled Token Transferability

When conducting a fair launch, it may be beneficial to delay token transferability to ensure equitable distribution and establish initial liquidity. In such cases, implementing a whitelist can:

* Allow tokens to be visibly present in user wallets immediately.
* Prevent users from transferring or trading tokens until a specified condition or period is met.

This ensures tokens can be distributed to users promptly, maintaining user confidence and transparency while still achieving distribution and liquidity goals effectively.

#### How a Whitelist Helps:

| Feature                         | Description                                                          |
| ------------------------------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| Visibility of Tokens            | Users see tokens immediately upon allocation in their wallets.       |
| Controlled Transferability      | Users cannot transfer tokens prematurely.                            |
| Distribution and Liquidity Goal | Ensures equitable initial distribution before enabling open trading. |

By strategically using a whitelist, projects can achieve controlled distribution, prevent premature trading, and foster trust and transparency within their communities.

You don’t have to decide right away: the Whitelist Module can also be added or installed later on into your token, giving you flexibility to adjust your token’s transfer rules as your project evolves.

Note: Whitelist Module cannot be used with Renounced Ownership since renouncing ownership restricts your ability to maintain the whitelist.

{% hint style="info" %}
Note: If you plan to **renounce ownership** of your token, it is recommended to **disable the Whitelist Module** beforehand. Once ownership is renounced, **you will no longer be able** **to make changes** to the whitelist settings, including adding or removing addresses. \
