Can I really create a Solana token for free?

On devnet, yes — but not through this site. Solana's devnet is a free test network, and you can mint a throwaway token there with free faucet SOL using the Solana CLI. SolTokenCreator itself deploys to mainnet only: a real token here is a flat 0.5 SOL. A devnet token has no value and cannot be traded, so it is practice rather than a launch.

Devnet is Solana's test network. It functions identically to mainnet but uses test SOL that has no monetary value. Developers and creators use devnet to test transactions, tokens, and smart contracts before deploying to the real blockchain.

How do I get free devnet SOL?

Visit faucet.solana.com, paste your wallet address, and request free devnet SOL. Each request gives you 2 SOL. You can also use the Solana CLI command 'solana airdrop 2' to get test SOL directly in your terminal.

Is my devnet token real?

No. Devnet tokens exist only on the test network and have no real value. They cannot be traded on DEXs or transferred to mainnet. Devnet is purely for testing. To create a real, tradeable token, you need to deploy on mainnet.

Does the creator on this page work on devnet?

No. The creator below connects to Solana mainnet only — there is no network selector, and creating a token with it charges the real 0.5 SOL fee. If you want to rehearse for free first, do that on devnet with the Solana CLI, then come back here for the real launch.

What does it cost to create a real Solana token?

On SolTokenCreator.io a mainnet token costs a flat 0.5 SOL, which includes token creation, metadata upload, and on-chain deployment. Authority revocations (0.1 SOL each), an OpenBook Market ID (2 SOL) and Raydium pool creation (network gas) are separate, genuinely optional steps for after your token exists — see the full breakdown on the pricing page.

Can I test liquidity pools on devnet?

Not meaningfully. Raydium pools and OpenBook markets are a mainnet activity, and the pool tools on this site are mainnet-only. Devnet is useful for rehearsing token settings — decimals, supply, authorities — not for rehearsing a liquidity launch.

Practise Free on Devnet, Launch on Mainnet

Devnet lets you rehearse a Solana token launch at no cost. SolTokenCreator deploys the real thing on mainnet for a flat 0.5 SOL.

Solana's devnet is a free test network: request faucet SOL, mint a throwaway token with the Solana CLI, and get your decimals, supply and authority settings right while mistakes are still free. This site is mainnet-only — there is no devnet mode here — so when you know what you want, create it below for a flat 0.5 SOL covering mint, supply and on-chain metadata in one transaction.

Create on Mainnet — 0.5 SOL

Create Your Real Token on Mainnet — 0.5 SOL

Launch a fully-configured SPL token — supply, logo, and on-chain metadata — in one signature. No code, no deploy scripts, no waiting.

0.5 SOL to create — the mint, on-chain metadata, and logo hosting, nothing gated behind an add-on. We are not the cheapest token creator on Solana and do not claim to be: revoking authorities, a Market ID, and a liquidity pool are priced separately, as steps for after your token exists.

Non-custodial — you sign, we never touch your keys

One transaction, one signature

Mint & freeze authority stay in your wallet

Name *

Symbol *

Decimals — 9 is standard

How divisible your token is — like cents to a dollar. This can never be changed after creation. Leave it at 9 unless you have a specific reason not to.

Supply *

Total tokens sent to your wallet at launch. You can mint more later unless you revoke mint authority — most creators do revoke it, since a provably fixed supply is what buyers check for.

Image *

Description — optional

Social links — optional, but tokens with links look far more legitimate to buyers

You pay 0.5 SOL + Solana network gas

Have about 0.51 SOL in your wallet before you start — the 0.5 SOL fee plus rent and network gas.

Charged only if your token is actually created. The fee is part of the same transaction as the mint — if it fails, nothing leaves your wallet.

You'll review and approve every detail in your wallet before anything is charged.

Devnet: Free, Elsewhere. Mainnet: 0.5 SOL, Here.

Rehearse on devnet for free using the Solana CLI and faucet SOL — name, supply, decimals, metadata and authority settings. This site has no devnet mode; what it does is the real launch, for a flat 0.5 SOL. No hidden fees, no subscription.

How to Rehearse on Devnet, Then Launch on Mainnet

Practise on Devnet with the Solana CLI

Devnet is Solana's free test network. Request free devnet SOL at faucet.solana.com, then use the Solana CLI (`spl-token create-token`) to mint a throwaway token and see how supply, decimals and authorities behave. This is done in your own terminal, not here.

Decide Your Settings

Work out the name, symbol, supply, decimals, logo and authority configuration you actually want. Getting these right is what devnet practice is for — several of them cannot be changed after a mainnet token exists.

Create Your Real Token Here for 0.5 SOL

When you know what you want, create it on mainnet below. A flat 0.5 SOL covers the mint, the full supply and on-chain metadata in a single transaction. You are charged only if the token is actually created.

How Devnet Practice Actually Works

Devnet Practice Is Genuinely Free

Solana's devnet costs nothing and the faucet at faucet.solana.com gives you 2 free test SOL per request. Nothing you do there touches real money.

Devnet Runs in Your Terminal

SolTokenCreator deploys to mainnet only — there is no devnet mode here. Devnet practice is done with the Solana CLI or a devnet-capable tool, which is a deliberate trade-off: this site is built for the real launch.

What Devnet Is Good For

Rehearsing decisions you cannot undo later — decimals, total supply, and whether to revoke mint and freeze authority. Mistakes there are permanent on mainnet and free on devnet.

Devnet Tokens Are Not Real

A devnet token has no value, cannot be traded on any DEX, and cannot be moved to mainnet. It is a rehearsal, not a launch — your real token is created fresh on mainnet.

Verify on Explorer

Solana Explorer has a devnet mode, so you can inspect a test token's metadata, supply and authority settings exactly as you would inspect a mainnet one.

One Flat Mainnet Price

When you launch here it is 0.5 SOL, covering mint, supply and metadata in one transaction. Authority revocations (0.1 SOL each) and an OpenBook Market ID are separate, optional steps afterwards.
