How to Create a Solana Token (No Code and CLI) 2026

Quick Answer

To create a Solana token: install a Solana wallet (Phantom or Solflare), fund it with a little over 0.1 SOL, go to SOLQuill at solana-token-creator.com, connect your wallet, fill in your token name/symbol/supply/decimals, upload a logo, choose your authority settings, and sign the transaction. SOLQuill charges 0.1 SOL and pays the creation gas and account rent itself, so the only extra is your wallet fee on the payment. Your token is live on mainnet in under 60 seconds.

Before You Start: What You'll Need

A Solana Wallet

Phantom, Solflare, or Backpack work well. Must be a browser extension wallet, not a mobile-only app.

A Little Over 0.1 SOL

0.1 SOL covers the token, the network rent and gas. Add 0.1 SOL for each extra you pick, plus a tiny amount for your wallet's own transaction fee.

Your Token Details

Name, symbol, total supply, and decimals. Have these ready before starting. It's faster than deciding as you go.

Tip: Write down your token name, symbol, total supply, and whether you want to revoke authorities before you start. The form takes two minutes to fill in when you know what you want. It takes twenty when you're deciding on the fly.

The 7 Steps

1

Set Up Your Solana Wallet

If you don't already have a Solana wallet, install Phantom (phantom.app) or Solflare (solflare.com) as a browser extension. Follow their setup wizard, create a new wallet, and write your seed phrase on paper,not in a notes app, not in a screenshot, on actual paper stored somewhere safe.

Once set up, you'll need to fund it with SOL. Buy SOL on a centralised exchange like Coinbase, Kraken, or Binance and withdraw to your wallet address. The whole process takes 10 to 30 minutes depending on the exchange verification delays. See our wallets guide for more detail on wallet options and security.

2

Decide Your Token Parameters

Four decisions to make before you open the form:

Name & Symbol: Keep the symbol short. 3 to 5 characters is standard. Longer works but looks odd in wallet UIs.
Total Supply: This is permanent if you revoke mint authority. Community tokens often use 1B to 1T. Project tokens are typically smaller, 100M or less. There's no right answer, but once it's locked, it's locked.
Decimals: 9 is the Solana default and works for most cases. Use 6 for stablecoin-style tokens. Use 0 for tokens that should never be split (governance NFT-style). See our decimals guide.
Authorities: Will you revoke mint authority (locks supply)? Freeze authority (removes freezing power)? Most projects should revoke both. Keep update authority initially if you might want to change metadata later.

3

Connect Your Wallet

Go to solana-token-creator.com/create-token/ and click Connect Wallet. A popup will appear from your wallet extension asking you to approve the connection. This is safe to approve. It only allows the site to see your wallet address and request transaction signatures. No funds move during connection. Make sure you're on mainnet, not devnet or testnet.

4

Fill in the Token Form

Enter your token name, symbol, supply, and decimals. Then, optionally:

Upload a logo: PNG or JPG under 1MB, ideally square (500×500px). Tokens without logos look abandoned in wallet UIs and DEXs. It makes a real difference to how your token is perceived.
Add a description: A short sentence about what the token is for. This appears in on-chain metadata and on explorers.
Add social links: Twitter, website, Telegram. These are stored on-chain in your metadata and appear on Solscan. They cost +0.1 SOL and are worth it if you're building a real project.

Configure Your Authorities

This step matters more than most people realise. Solana tokens have three authorities that control what can change after creation:

Mint Authority: Allows minting more tokens. Revoke this to lock your supply permanently. Holders can verify the revocation on Solscan, which is important for trust.

Freeze Authority: Allows freezing individual wallet accounts, preventing them from moving tokens. Almost no legitimate project needs this. Revoking it signals decentralisation.

Update Authority: Allows changing the token's name, symbol, and logo. Keep this initially if you might update branding, revoke when you're happy with the metadata.

Full detail in our authority management guide.

Review and Sign

Before submitting, you'll see a summary showing your token name, symbol, supply, decimal count, which authorities you're revoking, and the total fee breakdown. Read it. This is your last chance to catch a typo in your symbol or a decimal mistake. When you're satisfied, click the create button and approve the transaction in your wallet. Solana transactions confirm quickly, usually within 30 seconds.

7

Verify Your Token On-Chain

Once confirmed, you'll receive your token's mint address. Copy it and search it on Solscan.io to confirm everything deployed correctly. Check that:

The supply matches what you set
The decimals are correct
Revoked authorities show "null" on the explorer
Your logo and metadata appear correctly

Your full token supply is already in the wallet you used to create it. From here, the next step for most projects is creating a liquidity pool so your token can be traded.

What Other Creators Chose

Not sure which settings to pick? These figures come from the 282 tokens launched on this site by 236 different wallets. The option figures cover the 74 tokens launched since 9 September 2026, when we started recording them.

Revoking is permanent, so a lower share does not mean it is the wrong choice for you. See what each authority does before you decide.

How to Create a Solana Token with the CLI

If you are comfortable in a terminal you can do it yourself with the Solana CLI and the spl-token tool. You only pay network fees, roughly 0.002 to 0.01 SOL. The catch is metadata. The commands below make a working token, but wallets will show it with no name or logo until you add metadata separately.

solana config set --url mainnet-beta
spl-token create-token --decimals 9
spl-token create-account <MINT_ADDRESS>
spl-token mint <MINT_ADDRESS> 1000000000
spl-token authorize <MINT_ADDRESS> mint --disable

create-token makes the mint and prints its address. Freeze authority is off unless you add --enable-freeze.
create-account opens a token account in your wallet to hold the supply.
mint creates the supply. The amount is in whole tokens.
authorize ... mint --disable revokes mint authority so the supply is fixed for good.

For a name, symbol and logo you need Metaplex metadata pointing at a JSON file you host, or a Token-2022 mint created with --enable-metadata and filled in with spl-token initialize-metadata. Test the whole thing on devnet first with solana config set --url devnet and free faucet SOL.

If you would rather skip the terminal, create your Solana token with the form. It writes the metadata and hosts the logo for you.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

Insufficient SOL. Keep at least 0.1 SOL in the wallet for the base fee. Mint network costs are included. Keep a small amount of SOL above your selected service total for the payment-transaction fee shown by your wallet.
Wrong network. Mint on Solana mainnet, not devnet or testnet. A devnet token cannot be moved across.
Typos in name or symbol. Fix these before signing. Correcting them afterwards means either keeping update authority or minting again.
Rushing the authority settings. Revocation is permanent. Read what each authority does before you decide.

What to Do After Creating Your Token

Creating the token is step one. Here's what most projects tackle next:

Create a Liquidity Pool

Tokens aren't tradeable without liquidity. Add a SOL/TOKEN or USDC/TOKEN pool on Raydium or Orca. Our liquidity guide walks you through it.

Get Listed on Jupiter

Jupiter is Solana's main swap aggregator. Once you have a liquidity pool, your token becomes discoverable there automatically within a few hours. Read our Jupiter listing guide.

Build Community

A token with no community is just a database entry. Twitter/X, Telegram, and Discord are standard starting points. See our token marketing guide.

Get an Audit

For serious projects, a third-party audit gives holders confidence. Our audits guide explains what's available and what it costs.

Understand the Full Cost

Know what you're paying before you start. See the complete cost breakdown including network rent and optional extras.

Follow the Launch Checklist

Liquidity, burning LP, Jupiter and promotion, in the order that matters. See how to launch a token on Solana.

Making a Meme Coin?

Meme coins need different settings and a different launch. Read how to create a meme coin on Solana.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long does it take to create a Solana token?

The on-chain deployment takes 30 to 60 seconds after signing. Filling in the form takes 2 to 5 minutes if you have your parameters ready. Budget 10 minutes total for your first token.

How much SOL do I need?

A little over 0.1 SOL. The SOLQuill service fee is 0.1 SOL and it covers the creation gas and on-chain account rent, so the only thing on top is the fee your own wallet charges to send the payment, a fraction of a cent. Optional extras like social link metadata or authority revocations are +0.1 SOL each, up to 0.6 SOL with every token option, or 0.7 SOL with multi-wallet distribution as well.

Can I change my token after creating it?

If you kept update authority, yes. You can update the name, symbol, description, and logo. If you revoked it, the metadata is permanent. Supply is permanent once you revoke mint authority. The mint address never changes.

Does my token automatically appear in Phantom after creation?

Yes. The full supply will be in your connected wallet immediately. Phantom detects it automatically. Other wallets may require you to manually add the token mint address.

How do I make my Solana token tradeable?

Create a liquidity pool on Raydium or Orca. This pairs your token with SOL or USDC and allows others to buy and sell it. Once a pool exists, Jupiter and other aggregators pick it up within a few hours.

Can I create a Solana token without coding?

Yes. The token creator form handles the mint, the token account and the metadata, and you just sign in your wallet. The only time you need code or a terminal is if you choose the CLI route.

What is the difference between creating a token on devnet vs mainnet?

Devnet uses fake SOL (free from a faucet) and tokens have no real value. It's for testing. Mainnet tokens are real, use real SOL, and are visible to the public. Always test on devnet first if you're unsure about your settings.
