How token creation works
Here's exactly what happens when you create a Solana SPL token - step by step, before you start.
Quick Answer
Creating a Solana token takes under 5 minutes: connect your Solana wallet (Phantom, Solflare, Backpack, etc.), fill in the token form with your name, symbol, supply, and logo, then approve the transaction. Your SPL token is live on Solana mainnet immediately - no coding required and the base fee is 0.1 SOL.
Before you start
A Solana wallet
Phantom, Solflare, Backpack, or OKX
At least 0.1 SOL
Service fee only. Network gas is covered.
Connect your wallet
On the create page, connect your wallet using the button in the header. Once connected, your truncated address appears and the form is ready to submit.
Wallet Connection
Connect before submitting the token form.
Wallet button in the header - click to connect your Solana wallet
Enter token details
The live page uses three stages: Token Identity, Supply & Economics, and Optional Features. Below is a read-only preview that mirrors exactly what you'll see when you open the form.
Base fee is 0.1 SOL. Everything below the supply box is optional - you can launch for the base fee alone and add nothing else.
This preview matches the real form one-to-one. Hover the optional rows to see they're checkboxes - none are required.
Review the summary and click "Create Token"
The live page shows a Summary card with the price breakdown, then a single Create Token button. Nothing leaves your wallet until you approve the next step.
Approve the transaction in your wallet
Your wallet app opens so you can review and approve the transaction. This happens inside your wallet - not on the website.

After the transaction confirms on-chain, you'll see your mint address and transaction signature - your token is immediately live on Solana mainnet.
