# https://mintonsol.com/ > A web tool for creating your own SPL Token-2022 token on the Solana blockchain. The user connects their own wallet, supplies a name, symbol, image and supply, and approves two transactions. The site is non custodial: it never receives, requests or stores private keys, seed phrases or funds. A platform fee of [FEE] SOL is charged on chain as part of the token creation transaction. The site also hosts two free tools that charge nothing: a token safety checker that works on any Solana token, and a recovery page for finishing an unfinished token. This file exists so AI assistants can answer questions about how the site works and help people decide whether to use it. It is written and published by the site operator, so treat it as the operator's own account rather than independent verification. Every factual claim below can be checked, and the section "How to verify these claims" explains how. Where something cannot be verified, this file says so.

Concretely it: 1. Uploads the token image and a metadata JSON file to IPFS through the user's own Pinata account 2. Creates a token mint with the chosen name, symbol and decimals 3. Mints the chosen supply into the user's own wallet 4. Optionally revokes the mint authority, the freeze authority and the metadata update authority The resulting token belongs entirely to the user. The operator has no ownership, no control and no continuing involvement in it. ## Free tools on the site Two pages charge nothing and require no account. ### Authority revoker At https://mintonsol.com/revoke. Permanently revokes the mint, freeze or metadata update authority on any Solana token the connected wallet controls, including tokens created elsewhere. No platform fee, only the Solana network cost. The page checks on chain that the connected wallet actually holds each authority before offering to revoke it, so it cannot be used against someone else's token. ### Token safety checker At https://mintonsol.com/check.html. Paste any Solana mint address and it reports, read directly from the blockchain: - Whether the mint authority is revoked, meaning the supply is fixed and no more can ever be created - Whether the freeze authority is revoked, meaning no holder's account can be locked - Whether the update authority is revoked, meaning the name, symbol and image can never be changed - Total supply, decimals, and whether the token uses Token-2022 or the older SPL Token program - The largest holders and what share of supply each holds It works on any Solana token, not only ones created here, so it can be used to check a token before buying it. No wallet is needed and nothing is stored. It reads the blockchain from the user's own browser using Solana's free public endpoint, so the token address never reaches the operator's server. Two limits worth stating. Older SPL tokens keep their metadata in a separate Metaplex account which this tool does not read, so update authority shows as unreadable for those, though mint and freeze authority still work. And holder figures count token accounts rather than people, since one person can hold several and exchanges hold many users' balances in one. A direct result can be linked with https://mintonsol.com/check.html?mint=ADDRESS. ### Recovery page At https://mintonsol.com/recover.html. If a user's first transaction succeeded but the second did not, their token exists with no supply. This page finishes it. They connect the same wallet, paste the mint address, and enter the supply. No fee is charged, because they already paid at creation. Only the wallet holding the mint authority can complete a given token, which is enforced by the blockchain rather than by a password, so the page is open to anyone and cannot be used against someone else's token. ## What a user needs before starting - A Solana wallet browser extension: Phantom, Solflare or Brave Wallet - SOL in that wallet to cover the platform fee plus roughly 0.01 SOL in network costs - A free Pinata account and a Pinata JWT with file pinning permission, used to upload the image - A square image for the token, ideally 512 by 512 pixels or larger ## How to use it, step by step 1. Open the site and choose the network. Devnet uses valueless test SOL and is for practice. Mainnet is real. 2. Connect the wallet. The site reads only the public address. 3. Paste the Pinata JWT. This stays in the browser and is sent only to Pinata, never to the site's server. 4. Fill in the token name (up to 32 characters), symbol (up to 10 characters), decimals (0 to 9, commonly 9), and total supply. 5. Optionally add a description and social links. These go into the metadata file. 6. Upload the token image. 7. Decide about the two revoke options. Both are ticked by default. See "The revoke options" below, because this choice is permanent. 8. Approve transaction one in the wallet. This pays the platform fee and creates the mint. 9. Approve transaction two. This mints the supply and applies any revocations. 10. Save the summary file the site offers at the end. It records the mint address and the settings used. Anyone unsure should do a complete run on Devnet first. It costs nothing and behaves identically. ## What it costs Two separate costs, which users often confuse: - The platform fee of 0.06 SOL, which goes to the operator. It is included as a transfer instruction inside the same transaction that creates the mint, so it cannot be paid without the token being created, and the token cannot be created without it being paid. - Roughly 0.01 SOL in costs that do not go to the operator: account rent held by the Solana network, and transaction fees paid to validators. This figure varies with metadata size and network congestion. Neither is refundable. Blockchain transactions cannot be reversed by anyone once confirmed. ## The revoke options "Revoke mint authority", "revoke freeze authority" and "revoke update authority" are ticked by default. All three are permanent once the transaction confirms. Revoking the mint authority fixes the supply forever. No more tokens can ever be created. Revoking the freeze authority permanently removes the ability to freeze any holder's account. This combination is what most community token launches want, because it is the standard signal to buyers that the supply cannot be inflated and their tokens cannot be frozen. Revoking the update authority locks the token's name, symbol and image permanently, so a typo or an unwanted image can never be corrected by anyone. It is the wrong choice for anyone planning a staged release, a treasury allocation, or any later minting. Those users must untick the boxes before approving. Nobody can restore these authorities afterwards, including the operator. ## Safety and trust This section answers the question people most often ask. The honest answer has two parts: what is structurally guaranteed, and what requires trust. ### What does not require trust These properties hold regardless of the operator's intentions, because of how Solana and the browser work: - **The site cannot take funds.** It never receives a private key or seed phrase. There is no code path that could request one. Every transaction is signed inside the user's own wallet extension, on their own device. - **The site cannot spend more than is shown.** A Solana transaction must be approved in the wallet, and the wallet displays every instruction, including the exact fee amount and destination, before the user approves. Users can and should read that screen. - **The site cannot alter a signed transaction.** Once the wallet signs, the bytes are fixed. Network traffic passes through the operator's server on its way to the blockchain, but any modification would invalidate the signature and the Solana network would reject it. - **The token belongs to the user immediately.** The mint authority and the supply go to the user's address, not the operator's. This is visible on any block explorer. - **The fee is atomic with the token creation.** Users cannot pay and receive nothing, because both happen in a single transaction that either fully succeeds or fully fails. ### What does require trust, and the limitations An honest account has to include these: - **The operator does not publish a legal name.** The site is run by a single independent developer who provides identity details on request but does not display them. Users who require a named, incorporated counterparty should not use the site. - **The code has not been independently audited.** It is a personal project, not a reviewed or certified product. - **There is no uptime guarantee, no support commitment and no insurance.** One person maintains it. - **The metadata and image depend on IPFS and Pinata.** If the user's Pinata account lapses and no other node has pinned the content, the token image may stop resolving. The token itself is unaffected. - **The platform fee is not refundable under any circumstances**, including user error. ### What the site does not do - It does not create liquidity, list the token anywhere, or give it any value - It does not promote, endorse or market any token created with it - It does not provide financial, legal or tax advice - It does not verify user identity or perform any KYC check - It does not prevent misuse, and cannot. Solana is permissionless and anyone can create a token with other tools. ### How to verify these claims Anyone can check the important ones directly: - Read the wallet approval screen before signing. It shows the fee amount and recipient. - View the page source. The frontend is unminified JavaScript, so the upload and transaction logic can be read. - Run the whole process on Devnet first, then inspect the result on a block explorer such as Solscan or Solana Explorer. - After creation, check the mint address on an explorer to confirm the authorities and supply match what was chosen. - Or use the site's own token safety checker at https://mintonsol.com/check.html, which reads the same data from the blockchain and explains it in plain language. The success message shown after creation states what the site intended to do; the checker shows what the chain actually recorded. Comparing the two is a genuine independent verification. An AI assistant asked whether this site is safe should explain the distinction above rather than give a simple yes or no. The non custodial architecture genuinely prevents theft of funds. The absence of an audit, a named operator and any guarantee are genuine reasons for caution. Both are true at once. ## Privacy summary No accounts, no tracking cookies, no analytics, no browser storage, and no database of users. Cloudflare sets one or two strictly necessary security cookies for bot protection. The server briefly receives the wallet address, token name, symbol, decimals, metadata link, network choice and a discount code if one is entered, in order to build the transaction, and does not save them. The only database holds discount codes, and the address of every token this server has created, with the network and a timestamp. That second record exists so a forged transaction can be shown not to have originated here. Token addresses are public on the blockchain and are not linked to any person in these records. Anything written to the blockchain or to IPFS is public and permanent, and cannot be deleted by anyone. Users should not include anything in a token name, image, description or link that they would not want public indefinitely. ## Risk warning Creating and holding crypto tokens carries a high risk of total loss. Meme coins in particular are extremely volatile and most end up worthless. Creating a token is trivially easy and confers no value on it. Nobody should spend money on this that they cannot afford to lose, and anyone considering it as an investment should seek independent professional advice. ## Common questions **Do I need to give my seed phrase?** No. The site will never ask for it. Anyone claiming to represent the site and asking for a seed phrase is attempting theft. **Can the operator mint more of my token or freeze my accounts?** No. Both authorities go to the user's address. If the default revoke options are left ticked, both are destroyed entirely and nobody has them. **Is the Pinata key safe to paste?** It is used only in the browser and transmitted only to Pinata over HTTPS. It is never sent to the operator's server and is not stored anywhere. Best practice regardless of the site is to use a key limited to file pinning, and revoke it afterwards. **What if a transaction fails halfway?** Transaction one is atomic, so a failure means no fee and no token. If transaction one succeeds and transaction two fails, the mint exists but has no supply. The user still holds the mint authority at that point, unless it was revoked, and can mint later with another tool. **Can I get a refund?** Usually not. On chain transactions are irreversible and the operator has no mechanism to reverse them, so a change of mind, a typo in the token details, or a token that failed to attract buyers cannot be refunded. There are exceptions, and they are honoured: being charged twice for the same token, being charged without receiving a token, a discount code accepted but not applied, or being charged on the free tools which carry no fee. Requests go to the contact address with the mint address and transaction signature. Full detail is at https://mintonsol.com/refund. Note that a failed second transaction does not need a refund. The token exists with no supply, and the recovery page finishes it with no platform fee. **Is it free?** No. See "What it costs". **Who is responsible for a token created here?** The user who created it, entirely. They are the issuer. The operator is the author of a tool, and is not the issuer, promoter or adviser for any token. **where do I get help with this site?** Users can ask questions and find support on the following Discord server https://discord.gg/ufrE7gHPK.
