How to mint
your token.

What you need first

The same three things as a launch. If you have a Solana wallet with some SOL in it, you're ready.

  1. Step 1

    Pick the token type

    SPL token is the standard almost every Solana token uses, and every wallet, DEX and exchange supports it. Token-2022 is Solana's newer program: the name and image live inside the token, and it can take a fee on every transfer.

    Not sure? Pick SPL token. Choose Token-2022 only if you want a transfer fee.

  2. Step 2

    Describe your token

    Add a square image, the ticker people trade it under, the full name and one line about it. Website, X and Telegram are optional.

    These details are stored with the token. Wallets and explorers show them.

  3. Step 3

    Choose the address

    Every token has a permanent address on Solana. Keep the standard random one, or have it end in up to 4 characters you choose. Your browser searches for a match, usually in seconds.

    Your own ending costs 0.05 SOL. Capitals count, and addresses never use 0, O, I or l.

  4. Step 4

    Set the supply

    The supply is how many tokens exist. All of them go to your wallet. Decimals set how finely a token can be split, from 0 to 9. Most tokens use 6.

    Want to mint more later? Leave Fixed supply off in the next step, and Manage lets you mint more.

  5. Step 5

    Decide what stays open

    Fixed supply means nobody can ever mint more. No freezing means nobody can freeze holders' tokens. Buyers and token scanners check both, so they are on by default.

    Leave Lock name and image off if you may change links later. You can lock it any time from Manage.

  6. Step 6

    Add a transfer fee (Token-2022)

    A Token-2022 token can hold back a share of every transfer, buys and sells included, for a wallet you choose. Set the rate up to 5%, an optional cap per transfer, and whether the fee can ever change.

    DEX sites and scanners show the fee as a tax, so keep it low. Minting with a transfer fee costs 0.3 SOL.

  7. Step 7

    Check and approve

    The panel on the right sums up the token and what it costs. Press Mint token and approve once in your wallet. The token is created and the whole supply lands in your wallet in the same transaction.

    Nothing is charged until you approve in your wallet.

  8. Step 8

    Manage it later

    Manage lists the tokens you can still change. Collect transfer fees, mint more, change the details or the fee, or lock and revoke what you left open.

    Changes on Manage are free. Only Solana's network costs apply.

What it costs

Solana's network costs come on top: about 0.01 to 0.02 SOL for the token, its details and your token account.

After you mint

  • The whole supply is in your wallet. Share the token address: it's how people find the token.
  • Add a liquidity pool on Meteora or Raydium so people can trade it. The amounts of token and SOL you put in set the opening price.
  • Open Manage to collect transfer fees, change details you left open, or lock them for good.

Words you'll see

Liquidity pool
Your token paired with SOL on a DEX, so anyone can buy and sell it.

What SQODY never asks forYour recovery phrase or your private keys. Never, for any reason. Everything you do here is approved in your own wallet.
