Help & Troubleshooting
Token Creation Failed
Your Solana token creation transaction failed or reverted? Common causes and solutions for failed token creation.
Problem
The token creation transaction failed or reverted.
Quick Solution
Most failures are caused by insufficient SOL, wrong network, dropped wallet connection, or network congestion. Ensure at least 0.55 SOL and retry.
Common Causes
- You need at least 0.55 SOL (0.5 SOL creation fee + gas)
- Wallet connected to devnet instead of mainnet
- Wallet disconnected during the transaction
- Solana network may be temporarily congested
- You may have accidentally rejected the transaction prompt
How to Fix
Check Your SOL Balance
Ensure your wallet has at least 0.55 SOL. The creation fee is 0.5 SOL plus network gas fees (approximately 0.01 SOL).
Verify Network Settings
Make sure your wallet is connected to mainnet-beta, not devnet or testnet. In Phantom: Settings > Developer Settings > Network.
Reconnect Wallet
1. Disconnect your wallet from SolTokenCreator.io
2. Refresh the page
3. Reconnect your wallet
4. Try again
Wait and Retry
If Solana is congested, wait a few minutes and retry. Check Solana network status at status.solana.com.
Check Transaction History
Look at your wallet's recent transactions. If you see a failed transaction, click it for error details.
Rehearse on Devnet First
If you keep hitting errors, rehearse on devnet before spending again. Note this site is mainnet-only, so devnet practice is done with the Solana CLI (`spl-token create-token`) using free faucet SOL from faucet.solana.com — it confirms your wallet and settings are sound without risking real SOL.
