When to use it
Token-2022 is Solana's newer token program. It does everything the original SPL program does, plus optional extensions built into the mint. Choose it when you need one of those extensions; this tool offers a transfer tax and an interest-bearing balance. Otherwise the SPL Token Creator is the more widely supported choice, because a few older wallets, bots and exchanges still don't handle Token-2022.
The extensions on offer
| Transfer tax | A percentage withheld from every transfer, capped at a maximum fee in tokens per transfer. The tax stays in each recipient's token account until the fee withdrawal authority (your wallet) collects it from My Tokens or Token Manager. The rate can be changed later; a change takes effect two epochs (about 2 days) after you set it. |
|---|---|
| Interest-bearing | An annual rate that changes the balance wallets display over time. No new tokens are minted and the on-chain supply stays the same, so treat it as a display feature. The interest rate authority can change the rate later. |
| Metadata (always on) | Name, symbol and metadata URI live on the mint itself, through the metadata and metadata-pointer extensions, instead of in a separate Metaplex account. |
Choosing a tax
- The percentage applies to every transfer, including buys and sells through a DEX pool.
- The maximum fee caps what one transfer can pay, in whole tokens. Set it high if you want the percentage to apply to large transfers too.
- Holders see a high tax as a warning sign, and the Token Inspector deducts points while someone can still change the rate.
- While the transfer fee authority is live, it can raise the tax later, up to 100%. Revoke it in Token Manager to lock the rate in.
Authorities it creates
Beyond mint and freeze, extensions add their own authorities, all set to your wallet: the metadata update authority, the metadata pointer authority and, if you enabled the extensions, the transfer fee authority, the fee withdrawal authority and the interest rate authority. Transfer or revoke any of them later in Token Manager.
What you sign
An Irys funding transfer if the logo upload needs a balance. Then one transaction that creates the mint with its extensions and on-mint metadata, mints the supply to your wallet, applies any revocations you ticked and pays the 0.1 SOL Solstack fee.
What it costs
A 0.1 SOL Solstack fee plus about 0.01–0.02 SOL in rent, network fees and storage, shown before you sign. A mint with extensions holds a little more rent than a plain SPL mint because the account is larger.
Troubleshooting
| A wallet or exchange doesn't show the token | It doesn't support Token-2022 yet. Nothing is wrong with the mint; most modern wallets show it. |
|---|---|
| The tax isn't reaching my wallet | It's withheld in holders' accounts until you collect it: open the token in My Tokens and press Collect. |
| Logo upload fails | The token is still created. The pasted image URL is used if you gave one; otherwise update the metadata later in Token Manager. |
FAQ
What does it cost?
A 0.1 SOL Solstack fee plus about 0.01–0.02 SOL in rent, network fees and storage. Shown before you sign.
How is this different from SPL?
Token-2022 stores metadata on the mint and supports extensions. This creator offers a transfer fee and an interest rate.
Do wallets support Token-2022?
Most modern wallets do. Some older tooling and a few exchanges don't.
Can I add a transfer fee later?
No. Extensions are set at creation.
Where do transfer fees go?
They stay withheld in each recipient's token account. The fee withdrawal authority (your wallet, at creation) collects them from My Tokens → Fees or Token Manager.
Is the metadata mutable?
Only while you hold the update authority.
