FAQ
How is this different from SPL?
Metadata lives on the mint, and you can add a transfer fee or interest rate extension.
Can I add a transfer fee later?
No — extensions are set at creation.
Do wallets support Token-2022?
Most modern wallets do; some older tooling and a few exchanges don't.
Where does the transfer tax go?
It's withheld in the token accounts that receive transfers. The fee withdrawal authority, your wallet to start with, collects it from My Tokens or Token Manager.
Can I change the tax rate later?
Yes, while you hold the transfer fee authority. The new rate applies about two days (two epochs) after you set it.
Can I revoke mint and freeze authority here?
Yes, in the Authorities section, at no extra cost. The 0.1 SOL fee covers it.

What the Token-2022 Creator does
Transfer tax
Set a percentage and a maximum fee per transfer, in tokens. The form starts at 1% and 1,000 tokens; change both before you sign.
Interest-bearing balance
Set an annual rate, 5% by default. Wallets that read the extension show balances rising while the on-chain supply stays put.
Metadata on the mint
Name, symbol, description and your website, X and Telegram links are written into the mint account itself, with no separate metadata account.
Revokes in the same transaction
Revoke freeze authority and mint authority at creation. Mint authority is removed after the supply is minted, so your full supply lands first.
Free tax collection
Withheld tax is collected in My Solana Tokens or the Solana Token Manager for the network fee only. Solstack charges nothing.
Custom mint address
Choose up to 6 characters for the start or end of the mint address under Advanced. The address is found in your browser before signing.
Token-2022 Creator: Complete Guide
What is Token-2022?
Token-2022 is Solana's newer token program — metadata lives on the mint itself, and you can turn on extensions ordinary SPL tokens can't have: a transfer fee that funds your project on every trade, or an interest rate that grows balances automatically.
Extensions are set once, at creation, and can't be added later, so decide upfront whether you want a plain mint or one with a tax or interest built in.
Who it's for
Pick Token-2022 when your token needs a feature built into the mint. Here that means a transfer tax, which takes a cut of every transfer for your project, or an interest rate, which makes the balance a wallet displays rise over time. If you need neither, the SPL Token Creator is the safer default: every wallet, DEX and exchange handles it, while a few older ones still don't handle Token-2022.
How the transfer tax works
You set two numbers: a percentage, and a maximum fee in whole tokens that caps what a single transfer can pay. The percentage applies to every transfer, buys and sells through a DEX pool included. The tax doesn't arrive in your wallet on its own. It's held back in each receiving token account until the fee withdrawal authority, which starts as your wallet, collects it from My Solana Tokens or the Solana Token Manager.
The rate can be changed later. A new rate takes effect two epochs, about two days, after you set it.
Before you turn on a tax
- Holders read a high tax as a warning sign, and the Solana Token Inspector deducts points while someone can still change the rate.
- Whoever holds the transfer fee authority can raise the tax afterwards, all the way to 100%. Revoking that authority in Token Manager fixes the rate for good.
- The interest rate only changes the balance wallets display. No new tokens are minted and the on-chain supply doesn't move.
- Extensions can't be added or removed once the mint exists.
How the tax cap works in practice
With the form's starting values, a 1% tax capped at 1,000 tokens per transfer, the tax grows with the transfer until it hits the cap. Raise the cap if large transfers should pay the full percentage.
| Tokens transferred | 1% of it | Tax withheld |
|---|---|---|
| 10,000 | 100 | 100 |
| 50,000 | 500 | 500 |
| 100,000 | 1,000 | 1,000 |
| 500,000 | 5,000 | 1,000 (capped) |
