What You'll Need

Solana Wallet

Phantom, Solflare, or Backpack — any Solana-compatible wallet

SOL for Fees

Minimum 0.050 SOL for the token creation fee (+ small network rent)

Token Logo

A PNG, JPG, or WebP image for your token (recommended: 512×512px)

Token Details

Decide on name, symbol (ticker), supply, and decimals beforehand

Step-by-Step Guide

1

Connect Your Wallet

Visit soltokenfactory.com/create-token and click the "Connect Wallet" button in the top-right corner. Select your preferred wallet (Phantom, Solflare, or Backpack) and approve the connection.

Make sure your wallet is set to Solana Mainnet and has at least 0.1 SOL to cover creation fees and rent.

2

Configure Token Details

Fill in the basic information for your token:

  • Token Name: The full name of your token (e.g., "Solana Token Factory")
  • Token Symbol: The ticker symbol (e.g., "STF") — 2-10 characters recommended
  • Decimals: Usually 9 (like SOL) or 6 (like USDC). This determines the smallest unit.
  • Total Supply: How many tokens to create (e.g., 1,000,000,000)
3

Upload Logo & Add Metadata

Upload your token logo image. We recommend a 512×512 pixel PNG or WebP file. Your logo and metadata are uploaded to Arweave for permanent, decentralized storage — they'll never disappear.

Optionally add a description, website URL, Twitter/X link, and Telegram group to make your token more discoverable.

4

Configure Security Options (Optional)

For extra trust and security, toggle these options:

  • Revoke Mint Authority: Proves no more tokens can ever be created (+0.02 SOL)
  • Revoke Freeze Authority: Proves no one can freeze token accounts (+0.02 SOL)
  • Revoke Update Authority: Makes metadata immutable forever (+0.02 SOL)

💡 Tip: Revoking authorities significantly increases community trust in your token.

5

Create & Launch

Click the "Create Token" button and sign the transaction in your wallet. The process takes about 30-60 seconds:

  1. Logo uploaded to Arweave
  2. Metadata JSON uploaded to Arweave
  3. Token minted on Solana blockchain

Once complete, you'll see a success screen with your token's mint address, links to explorers, and options to share on social media.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does it cost to create a Solana token?

Creating a token on Solana Token Factory starts at 0.050 SOL (flat creation fee). Additional optional features like revoking mint authority cost an extra 0.02 SOL each. You'll also need a small amount of SOL (~0.018 SOL) for Solana network rent.

Do I need coding skills to create a Solana token?

No. Solana Token Factory provides a visual interface where you can configure all token parameters — name, symbol, supply, decimals, logo, and metadata — without writing any code. The entire process takes under 2 minutes.

Where is my token metadata stored?

Your token logo and metadata JSON are permanently stored on Arweave via Irys (formerly Bundlr). This means your token data is decentralized and will remain accessible forever without any ongoing hosting costs.

Can I revoke mint authority after creating my token?

Yes. You can revoke mint, freeze, and update authority during the token creation process (by toggling the options) or later using the Revoke Authority tool. Revoking proves to your community that no more tokens can be minted, building trust.

Is my token compatible with Raydium, Jupiter, and other DEXes?

Yes. All tokens created with Solana Token Factory are standard SPL tokens, fully compatible with Raydium, Jupiter, Orca, Meteora, and every other Solana DEX and DeFi protocol.

Can I create a token on Solana Devnet first?

Yes. You can switch your wallet to Devnet to test the token creation process before deploying on Mainnet. This lets you verify everything works correctly without spending real SOL.
