How wallet connection works

Connecting is read-only: it shares your public address so we can show your balance and prepare the transaction. We never see your seed phrase or private keys, and nothing moves without a transaction you explicitly approve in your wallet.

How much does it cost to create a Solana token?

Last updated:

Short answer

Creating the token on this site costs a 0.1 SOL service charge, or up to 0.5 SOL with optional add-ons, plus Solana's network fee on your payment (usually about 0.000005 SOL). We pay the token's rent and minting fees. At the current SOL price the base charge is roughly $10.16. Making the token tradeable is a separate and usually larger cost: a liquidity pool, which needs the SOL you pair with your tokens plus pool fees.

This page is about the whole launch budget. For this tool's own charges and what each add-on does, see pricing.

Liquidity figures are what our liquidity tool shows today. Other DEXes and tools charge differently, and Raydium sets its own fees.

Worked examples

  • Token only, no revokes: 0.1 SOL plus the payment network fee. The token exists in your wallet but cannot be traded.
  • Token with mint and freeze revoked: 0.3 SOL plus the payment network fee.
  • Token with mint and freeze revoked, then a pool with 5 SOL paired: about 0.8 SOL in fees and costs, plus the 5 SOL of liquidity, which sits in the pool rather than being spent.

The cost most people forget: liquidity

To open trading on a DEX such as Raydium, you put SOL into a pool alongside your tokens. That ratio sets the starting price, and the size of the pool decides how far one trade moves the price. There is no required amount. The SOL is not a fee: it stays in the pool, but it is exposed to trading, so you can get back more or less than you put in. DEX Screener lists a token automatically only once it is in a liquidity pool and has had at least one transaction.

What rent is

Solana requires a deposit, called rent, for every account kept on chain. A new token needs a mint account and a Metaplex metadata account, and the first holder needs a token account. On this site those deposits and the fees for the transaction that creates them are paid by us out of the service charge; you do not see them in your wallet.

Why no subscription?

A token is created once, so there is one service charge, paid in SOL when you launch. Hosting the logo and metadata file afterwards has no ongoing charge.
