Nine steps, a few minutes, no coding.
Devnet is Solana's practice network. It uses free test SOL and behaves exactly like the real thing, so you can run through everything without spending money.
Leave the network set to Devnet for your first run. Get free test SOL from any Solana faucet by pasting in your wallet address.
Worth doing. A full practice run means your first real token is not also your first attempt.
Click connect and pick your wallet. It will ask you to approve the connection.
This only shares your public address. Connecting gives this site no ability to move your funds, and your seed phrase is never involved.
Match the networks. Your wallet has its own network setting and it has to match the one selected here. If they differ you will see a red warning when you approve, which in that case only means the two are out of step.
Sign up free at pinata.cloud, open the API Keys section, and create a new key. Give it permission to pin files. Copy the JWT it shows you and paste it into the field on this page.
Pinata shows the key only once, so copy it before closing the window.
Your key stays in your browser. It is sent directly to Pinata and never reaches our server. Revoke it in your Pinata dashboard once you are done.
Name is the full name, up to 32 characters. Symbol is the short ticker, up to 10 characters, usually uppercase.
Supply is how many tokens exist in total. Decimals controls how finely each one divides. Nine is the Solana convention and is what most tokens use.
Description and social links are optional and go into your token's public metadata.
Pick a square image. It gets uploaded to IPFS through your Pinata account and becomes the picture wallets and explorers show for your token.
This is permanent. Anything published to IPFS is public and cannot reliably be deleted afterwards. Use an image you own and are happy to have online indefinitely.
Three options here, all permanent once the token is created.
Revoke mint authority fixes the supply forever, so nobody can ever create more. Revoke freeze authority removes the ability to freeze anyone's tokens. Revoke update authority locks the name, symbol and image so they can never be changed.
Together these are the standard signal to buyers that a token cannot be inflated and their holdings cannot be locked or changed, which is why they are on by default.
Untick them if you plan to mint more later. A staged release or a treasury allocation needs the mint authority kept. Once revoked, nobody can restore it, including us.
Think twice about the update authority. Revoking it means a typo in the name, or an image you later dislike, can never be corrected by anyone.
Your wallet opens and shows exactly what will happen. This transaction pays the platform fee and creates your token.
Read this screen before approving. It shows the fee amount and where it goes. Checking it is the strongest verification available to you, and it does not require trusting us.
The fee and the token creation are in the same transaction, so either both happen or neither does. There is no outcome where you pay and get nothing.
A second prompt appears shortly after. This one mints your supply into your wallet and applies the authority settings you chose.
Do not stop here. If you cancel or close the tab now, your token will exist with no supply. It is fixable on the recovery page with no platform fee, but it is easier to just approve both.
When it finishes you get your mint address and a link to view the token on Solana Explorer. Download the summary file.
It contains your mint address, both transaction signatures and every setting you chose. That address is how you or anyone else identifies your token from now on, so keep it somewhere safe.
Verify it yourself. Paste that address into our free token checker to confirm what was actually written to the blockchain, rather than taking our word for it.
