How to Create a Solana Token - No Code, No CLI

Creating a Solana SPL token used to mean setting up a dev environment, writing scripts and debugging CLI errors. With SolCraft, you can launch a fully configured token on Mainnet in under 60 seconds, directly from your browser.

What is an SPL Token?

SPL stands for Solana Program Library. It is the token standard on Solana, equivalent to ERC-20 on Ethereum. Every fungible token on Solana, from major DeFi assets to community tokens, is an SPL token. They live on-chain with a mint address, configurable supply, decimals, and optional authorities for minting and freezing.

Step-by-Step: Create Your Solana Token

Connect your Solana wallet

Open solcraft.app and click Connect Wallet. SolCraft supports Phantom, Solflare, Backpack and all major Solana wallets via WalletConnect. Make sure you are on Mainnet and have at least 0.05 SOL for transaction fees.

Enter token details

Fill in the token name (e.g. "My Token"), symbol (e.g. "MTK"), number of decimals (9 is standard for fungible tokens), and the initial supply.

Upload a logo

Upload a PNG or JPG logo. SolCraft uploads it to IPFS via Pinata automatically - your image is decentralized and permanently accessible.

Configure authority settings

Decide whether to keep mint authority (lets you mint more tokens later) and freeze authority (lets you freeze token accounts). For a fixed-supply launch, revoke both.

Deploy to Solana Mainnet

Click Create Token. SolCraft prepares the transaction, you approve it in your wallet. Within seconds your token is live on Mainnet with a real mint address.

Classic SPL vs Token-2022

SolCraft supports both token standards. Classic SPL is the battle-tested standard used by the majority of Solana tokens. Token-2022 is the next-generation standard with extensions like transfer fees, interest-bearing tokens and permanent delegate. For most projects, Classic SPL is the right choice.

What Does It Cost?

Creating a token on Solana costs roughly 0.02-0.05 SOL in rent and transaction fees, paid directly to the Solana network. SolCraft charges a small platform fee on top. You can see the exact breakdown before confirming the transaction.
