Need transfer fees, interest-bearing balances, non-transferable tokens or a transfer hook? Those are Token-2022 extensions — use the Token-2022 Creator instead. Standard SPL, this page, is the right pick when the widest wallet and exchange compatibility matters more than extra features.

Before you start

  • Have a logo ready (PNG or SVG, square, ideally under 100 KB).
  • Decide total supply and decimals — 6 or 9 decimals is typical.
  • Keep a little more SOL than the estimate for rent and the metadata upload.

What you sign

If you uploaded a logo, a small Irys funding transfer may come first to pay for the Arweave storage. Then one transaction creates the mint, creates your token account, mints the supply and writes the Metaplex metadata account. Revoking authorities during creation adds instructions to that second transaction.

Troubleshooting

Upload failsRetry — the Arweave gateway occasionally times out. SOL for a failed upload is not spent.
Logo doesn't show in walletsWallets cache metadata; give it a few minutes and confirm the image URI resolves in a browser.
Want a fixed supplyRevoke mint authority — here during creation, or later in Token Manager. Step by step: how to revoke mint & freeze authority.

FAQ

What exactly gets created?

A standard SPL mint with the supply you choose, plus an on-chain Metaplex metadata account holding the name, symbol and logo URI. The full supply is minted to your wallet.

Should I revoke the mint and freeze authorities?

For a fixed-supply community token, yes — revoking mint authority means no one can ever inflate the supply, and revoking freeze authority means no one can freeze holders' balances. You can do it here during creation or later in Token Manager.

Where is the logo and metadata stored?

The image is uploaded to Arweave via Irys; your wallet funds the upload automatically if needed (one extra signature). The metadata JSON itself is built locally and stored inline in the mint's URI when it fits, so most tokens need no separate metadata upload at all.

What does it cost?

Roughly 0.01–0.02 SOL in rent, network fees and Arweave storage, plus a flat 0.1 SOL Solstack fee with authority revocation included — no separate tier for it. The fee is its own line on the review card before you sign, and a plain SOL transfer your wallet lists inside the same transaction.
