What is a Solana token?

A Solana token is a digital asset on the Solana blockchain. Think of it like creating your own cryptocurrency. Your token gets a unique address on the blockchain, and you control the initial supply. People use tokens for meme coins, community rewards, utility access, governance voting, and more.

How much does it cost?

Creating a token costs 0.5 SOL (a few dollars at current prices). You'll also need a tiny bit extra for the transaction fee (called 'gas'). In total, have about 0.7 SOL in your wallet to be safe. If you want to revoke mint or freeze authority later, that's 0.1 SOL each.

What wallet should I use?

We recommend Phantom wallet for beginners. It's a free browser extension available for Chrome, Firefox, Brave, and Edge. Download it from phantom.app, create a wallet, and fund it with SOL from any exchange like Coinbase, Binance, or Kraken.

What are 'decimals' and what should I set them to?

Decimals determine how divisible your token is. With 9 decimals (the default), someone can hold 0.000000001 of your token. For most tokens, just leave it at 9 — that's what SOL and most Solana tokens use. If you're creating a token where only whole units make sense (like tickets), set it to 0.

What is 'mint authority' and should I revoke it?

Mint authority is the power to create more tokens after the initial creation. If you keep it, you can mint more tokens later. If you revoke it (0.1 SOL), the supply is permanently fixed — nobody can ever create more. Revoking builds trust with your community because they know the supply won't increase.

What is 'freeze authority' and should I revoke it?

Freeze authority is the power to freeze someone's token account, preventing them from sending or selling their tokens. Most projects revoke freeze authority (0.1 SOL) because users don't want the risk of their tokens being frozen. Revoking it tells your community: nobody can freeze your tokens.

How do I make my token tradeable?

After creating your token, you need two more steps: (1) Create a Market ID on Openbook (2.33 SOL) — this is like registering your token on an exchange. (2) Create a Liquidity Pool on Raydium — this adds SOL + your token so people can trade. Both steps are available on SolTokenCreator.io.

Can I try this without spending real money?

Yes! Switch to devnet mode in the interface. You can create test tokens using free devnet SOL (get it from faucet.solana.com). Your test token works the same way but has no real value. When you're ready, switch to mainnet to create your real token.
