How to create a memecoin on Solana

Short answer: Use the Solana SPL creator to mint a token with a strong name, an iconic logo, a one billion (or one trillion) total supply, and revoked mint and freeze authorities. Then pair it with SOL on Raydium so it becomes tradable and shows up on Dexscreener. Total time, under ten minutes.

1. Pick a sticky name and symbol

Memecoins live or die on memorability. A name that already references a meme, an in-joke, or a familiar character (without infringing trademarks) gives the token a story before the first holder even buys it. Keep the symbol three to five characters so it fits cleanly on DEX trackers.

2. Design the logo for a 24-pixel circle

Wallets and trackers display tokens at very small sizes. Test your logo at 24 and 48 pixels. High contrast and a single clear silhouette beat detailed art that disappears when scaled down.

3. Set supply and decimals

• Total supply of one billion or one trillion is the memecoin convention. It creates psychologically "cheap" per-token prices that feel like they have upside.
• Decimals of nine is standard and gives wallets and DEXs room to display fractional balances cleanly.

4. Add metadata that wallets respect

Fill in the description, Telegram, Twitter / X, and website fields. The on-chain metadata is what trackers and wallets read for the token name, image, and social links.

5. Revoke authorities at mint

This is the trust signal serious memecoin buyers look for. On TheTokenLauncher you can tick:

• Revoke mint authority so the supply is provably fixed.
• Revoke freeze authority so no one can freeze holder accounts.
• Revoke update authority if you want metadata to be permanent. Keep it if you plan to refine the image or socials later.

6. Pay and deploy

Connect Phantom, Solflare, or Backpack and approve the platform fee. The deployment lands in under 30 seconds.

7. Add liquidity on Raydium

Pair the new token with SOL on Raydium to make it tradable. Even a small initial pool is enough to register on Dexscreener, Birdeye, and Jupiter. Detailed instructions are in the Raydium liquidity guide.

8. Share the token page

Every deployment has a public token share page at /token/{address}/ with Open Graph image and share buttons for X and Telegram. The link appears in your dashboard right after deploy — post it in your community channels and the trackers do the rest.
