How to create a Solana token (SPL) in under 30 seconds

Short answer: Pick a token name, symbol, supply, and decimals. Connect a Solana wallet such as Phantom or Solflare. Pay one small platform fee. TheTokenLauncher submits the deployment and returns the mint address and explorer link. Total time, including filling in the form, is usually under five minutes.

What you need before you start

• A Solana wallet such as Phantom, Solflare, or Backpack installed in your browser.
• A small amount of SOL in that wallet to cover the platform fee and network gas. 0.1 SOL plus a few thousandths is typically enough for a basic deployment.
• The token details: name, ticker symbol (up to ten characters), total supply, and a logo image (PNG, JPG, or WEBP, up to 10MB).

No Solana CLI, no Rust, no spl-token commands. Everything happens in the browser and inside your wallet.

Step 1: Open the Solana token creator

Go to the Solana SPL creator. The form is laid out as token details, optional add-ons, and a fee summary. The total fee updates live as you tick options.

Step 2: Fill in the token details

Choose a clear, unique name and symbol. Standard Solana tokens use nine decimals, which means a supply of 1,000,000,000 displays as one billion whole tokens with up to nine fractional places.

• Name: Up to 32 characters. The full display name in wallets and explorers.
• Symbol: Up to ten characters, uppercase. Try to avoid existing brands.
• Total supply: The fixed number of tokens that will exist at mint time.
• Decimals: 0 to 9. Nine is the convention for fungible Solana tokens.
• Description: Shown in wallets that read Metaplex metadata.
• Logo: Square images work best. Wallets crop into a circle.

Step 3: Decide on authority options

Solana SPL tokens have three authorities you can keep or permanently revoke. Each revocation is on-chain and cannot be undone.

• Revoke mint authority: caps the supply forever. No more tokens can be minted.
• Revoke freeze authority: removes the ability to freeze any holder account.
• Revoke update authority: locks the on-chain metadata so the name, symbol, and image cannot be changed later.

Public launches often revoke all three to signal trust. Project tokens with planned upgrades sometimes keep update authority.

Step 4: Connect your wallet

Click Connect Wallet. The creator detects Phantom, Solflare, Backpack, Coinbase Wallet, Trust Wallet, and TokenPocket. Approve the connection request. No seed phrase or full-wallet permission is ever requested.

Step 5: Pay the platform fee

Sign one explicit payment transaction in your wallet. TheTokenLauncher verifies the transaction on the Solana mainnet RPC before submitting the mint. If verification fails, the fee is never spent on a deployment.

Step 6: Receive the mint address

Once the mint confirms, the page shows a success card with the mint address, the transaction signature, an explorer link to Solscan, and a shareable token page at /token/{mint_address}/. The token also appears on your dashboard.

What to do next

• Add liquidity on Raydium so the token becomes tradable on Solana DEXs and trackers like Dexscreener.

• Compare Solana and Ethereum tokens if you are still deciding between chains.
