Cost to Create a
Solana Token

Authority Revocations: 0.1 SOL Each

Revoking authorities costs 0.1 SOL per authority. There are three types:

• Mint Authority: 0.1 SOL to revoke
• Freeze Authority: 0.1 SOL to revoke
• Update Authority: 0.1 SOL to revoke

You can revoke one, two, or all three. Each revocation costs 0.1 SOL. So revoking all three costs 0.3 SOL extra. This is optional but recommended for serious projects. Learn more about revoking authorities and why it builds trust. Use a reliable platform that offers these options.

Creator Branding: 0.1 SOL

Adding creator information costs 0.1 SOL. This includes:

• Creator name and bio
• Social media links
• Website links
• Contact information

This makes your token look more professional. It helps build trust and provides ways for people to contact you. This is especially valuable for serious projects.

Blockchain Transaction Fees

Every Solana transaction carries a small network fee, typically under 0.001 SOL. Who pays it depends on the action:

We pay, out of the fee you already paid:

• Creating the token, including account rent (covered by the base fee)
• Revoking authorities (covered by the revocation fees)

You pay, from your own wallet:

• The payment transaction you sign to buy any of the above
• Adding liquidity later (a separate cost, plus the SOL you pool)
• Sending tokens to others afterwards

The fees on your side are so small they are usually negligible, but keep a little SOL spare on top of your chosen total so a transaction never fails for want of a fraction of a cent.

Wallet Balance

You need SOL in your wallet to pay fees. Make sure you have enough before starting. If you're creating a basic token, have at least 0.2 SOL. This covers the fee plus a small buffer.

Check the live checkout total for all selected options and keep a small SOL buffer for the wallet payment fee. Budget separately for liquidity fees and deposits.

Liquidity Pool Costs

If you want to enable trading, you'll need to add liquidity to a DEX like Raydium or Orca. This requires providing both your token and SOL (or another paired token) to a liquidity pool. The amount depends on your goals, but typically ranges from a few hundred to thousands of dollars worth of tokens and SOL.

Marketing and Promotion Costs

Marketing your token can involve various costs: social media advertising, influencer partnerships, community management tools, content creation, and listing fees on tracking sites. Budget varies widely based on your strategy, but expect to invest in marketing to gain visibility.

Ongoing Maintenance Costs

While your token exists independently on the blockchain, you may have ongoing costs for: website hosting, domain registration, community management tools, analytics services, and any custom development for additional features. These are typically minimal but should be budgeted.

Wallet Payment

When you create your token, you connect your wallet. The platform shows you the total cost. You review it and approve the transaction. Payment happens automatically from your wallet.

You pay in SOL, Solana's native cryptocurrency. No credit cards. No bank transfers. Just SOL from your wallet. This is fast and secure.

Upfront Pricing

Good platforms show all costs upfront. You see exactly what you'll pay before confirming. No surprises. No hidden fees. Transparent pricing from start to finish.

The total cost updates as you select features. Add authority revocations? See the cost increase. Add creator branding? See the cost update. Everything is clear before you commit.
