```

#### 2. Create Token Transaction

**Endpoint**: `POST /api/token/create`

**Request Headers**:

```
Authorization: Bearer your_jwt_token
Content-Type: application/json
```

**Request Parameters**:

```json
{
  "insurance_amt": 1000000000,
  "insurance_px": 500000000,
  "name": "My Token",
  "symbol": "MTK",
  "uri": "ipfs://metadata_hash",
  "user_pubkey": "user_wallet_public_key",
  "network": "mainnet",
  "platform": "meteora",
  "platform_params": ""
}
```

**Response Example**:

```json
{
  "code": 200,
  "data": {
    "mint": "token_mint_private_key_base58",
    "signature": "transaction_signature",
    "tx": "transaction_id",
    "dlmm": {
      "initial_bin_id": -300
    }
  }
}
```

#### 3. Sign and Send Transaction

```javascript
// Build on-chain transaction using returned mint private key
const tokenParams = {
  name: "My Token",
  symbol: "MTK",
  uri: "ipfs://metadata_hash",
  insuranceAmt: 1000000000,
  insurancePx: 500000000,
  userPubkey: "user_public_key",
  mint: "mint_private_key",
  buyAmount: 100000000,
  binId: -300,
  isAntiSniper: false,
};

// Call on-chain creation function
const { signatures, mintPubkey } = await signAndSendTransaction(
  connection,
  tokenParams,
  wallet
);
```

### Parameter Description
