On this page
Before you start
- Phantom wallet
- Some SOL
- Token name
- Token symbol
- Logo
1. Configure your token
Start by choosing how your token will appear across the Solana ecosystem. Enter a name, choose a symbol, write a short description and upload a logo.
💡 Best practice
Use a square logo (512×512 pixels or larger) and a short symbol so your token displays correctly across wallets and explorers.
2. Review supply and fees
Choose the initial token supply and the number of decimals. Before signing the transaction, Token Creator displays a complete breakdown of the transaction costs.
| Fee | Purpose |
|---|---|
| Token Creator fee | Covers the token creation service. |
| Account creation | Creates the required on-chain accounts. |
| Network fee | Paid to the Solana blockchain. |
3. Create your token
Review the information carefully before approving the transaction in your wallet.
Once confirmed, your SPL Token is immediately created on-chain.
4. Secure your token
After creating your token, you can revoke the Mint Authority and Freeze Authority. This is optional but recommended for most fixed-supply community tokens.
💡 Best practice
Revoking both authorities increases transparency because no wallet can mint additional tokens or freeze token accounts.
5. Verify your token
Once the transaction is confirmed, verify your token on Solscan.
Check the token supply, metadata and authorities.
Common mistakes
⚠️ Avoid these mistakes
Double-check the token supply, decimals and authorities before signing. Some settings cannot be changed later.
