How to create a Solana Token
Five steps, one transaction. Your own SPL token live on the Solana blockchain in under 2 minutes.
Connect your wallet
Install Phantom (phantom.app), Backpack or Solflare. Create a wallet and make sure you have ~0.15 SOL for network fees. Then click "Connect Wallet" in the top right corner.
- Phantom, Backpack or Solflare
- AutoConnect also works
- ~0.15 SOL needed
Fill in token details
Give your token a name (max 32 characters) and a ticker symbol (max 10 characters, e.g. "MTK"). Optionally upload a logo — it is automatically cropped to 512×512 pixels and stored on IPFS.
- Name max 32 characters
- Symbol max 10 characters (e.g. SOL, BONK)
- Logo auto-resized to 512×512
Set supply
Set the total number of tokens. For meme coins, 1 billion (1,000,000,000) is the standard. The number of decimals defaults to 9, just like SOL itself.
- 1 billion popular for meme coins
- 9 decimals = default (like SOL)
- 0 decimals = no fractional tokens
Configure authorities
Choose whether to revoke mint authority (no new tokens can ever be minted) and freeze authority (token accounts cannot be frozen). Both are strongly recommended for trust.
- Revoke mint = rug-proof
- Revoke freeze = user trust
- Both recommended
