Hexel is a platform for creating and managing cryptocurrencies for communities. On Hexel, you can create your own crypto token for anyone like your subreddit, or your gaming channel, or your high school. You don’t do an ICO, you just give it away for fun and start using it.

Question. Can someone create a token and then list it on an exchange? Or can token holders sell it among each other?
Kevin Woblick
@john_c_palmer Don't know if I do something wrong but after downloading MetaMask and creating a new account for it, the create page of Hexel still displays the "sorry ou need an ethereum wallet to do this" message? Edit: Worked with Brave brwoser. But.. wow. Maybe state on the website that this is NOT a free service but costs money...!
John Palmer
@kovah_kvh Yeah you're right. We'll make the pricing more apparent so that people don't get surprised by that. For the record, making a token is a one-time purchase of $25.

Hey everybody! I hunted this myself so I'll just post a little blurb here. Hexel is a platform for creating and managing cryptocurrencies for communities. On Hexel, you can create your own crypto token in just a few clicks and start issuing it to whoever you want. For example, you could have a token for your gaming chatroom, or your subreddit, or your high school. Hexel gives you all the tools you need to let your community start using your token, including an easily shareable webpage where users can send tokens to each other.
 This is a contrarian take on the value of tokens that we think is a lot more fun and interesting. Instead of being global currencies supporting new blockchain protocols, tokens can be hyper-local currencies that are a fun way for communities to engage with each other. You don’t do an ICO, you just give it away for fun and start using it!

@john_c_palmer I love this way of making it really accessible to communities!
John Palmer
@abadesi Same! Can’t wait to see what creative people do when they get their hands on it. We’ve already seen some cool stuff being launched on it over the past couple of days!

Token creation costs $25 but not a single word about this before you reach the payment page. *thumbs down

Pros:

Nice idea

Cons:

not a free service

Doesn't it say that it costs $25 on the homepage?
Kevin Woblick
@chanfest22 No, couldn't find any pricing information. But they want to update the homepage so I guess it may be added in the next days.
Chandan Lodha
@kovah_kvh You're right — looks like the latest version doesn't have it anymore (I saw a previous version that is shown in the slideshow).
Elon Moist
Once again, Marcus and John execute a great product idea!! We must use this for the @cryptoaquarium!!

We're using Hexel for our Discord community. We run a crypto trading game and give our token to the winners each day. Players can use our token to buy different things in our Discord server. The community loves it. Hexel made it easy to onboard new users and send tokens. Great work!

Shameless plug, check out our Discord server: https://discord.gg/eZV9EWk

Pros:

Very approachable for newbies to crypto

Cons:

I know this is in the works, but more features to support communities ASAP, please :)

Derek Shanahan
What's this cost? Not gonna sign up without that info.
John Palmer
@dshan Creating a token costs $25, and then you get all of our other services and support, like the public URL for your token's interface, and the ability for people to request your token automatically. We'll add more clear pricing info on our site.

this has been fun to use with coworkers over the past week. Super quick to get tokens setup

Pros:

Ease of use

Cons:

None

Holly Stephens
Hey Guys - I tried to create one but still says it's pending?
John Palmer
@holly_stephens Don't worry, that's normally how Ethereum transactions work. You submit your request to the network, and it could take a little while for the transaction to be confirmed. So I think if you just wait a little longer it will finish up. We will do a better job educating users about this on our site!

Within few minutes i could create a new token and send it to my team. Although there are a few to and fro of the address to send and receive the tokens, but otherwise it was all very smooth. Good job guys!

Pros:

Very easy and fun to create new tokens.

Cons:

Better UI will be helpful
