Create a Token-2022 Token on Solana
Token-2022 is Solana's newer token program. It behaves like SPL but supports extensions such as transfer fees — decided at creation time and permanent afterwards. Create one in the token creator.
Non-custodial · One signature · Metaplex metadata + IPFS · Deployed on mainnet
What the extensions do
Extensions are opt-in features baked into the mint when it is created. They cannot be added later, which is why deciding before you sign matters more here than with classic SPL.
If you do not need any extension, classic SPL is the simpler and more widely supported choice.
- Transfer fee — a percentage of every transfer routed to a fee account you control
- Metadata pointer — metadata stored on the mint itself rather than a separate account
- Transfer hook — custom program logic that runs on each transfer
- Non-transferable and permanent delegate — niche options with strong implications
Compatibility and trade-offs
Not every wallet, DEX and aggregator handles every Token-2022 extension identically. A transfer fee in particular changes how routers quote trades, so verify your intended venues support it before you commit.
For most launches — memecoins especially — classic SPL remains the path of least friction. Compare the two in how to create an SPL token on Solana.
Step-by-step
Step 1. Decide whether you need an extension
If not, classic SPL is simpler and more compatible.
Step 2. Choose the extension
Transfer fee, metadata pointer or transfer hook.
Step 3. Set the parameters
Fee percentage, fee cap and the authority that collects it.
Step 4. Create the mint
One signature — 0.18 SOL platform fee plus network rent.
Step 5. Test a transfer
Send a small amount and confirm the fee behaves as expected.

Frequently asked questions
Can I add a transfer fee after creating the token?
No. Token-2022 extensions are set when the mint is created and cannot be added afterwards.
Is Token-2022 supported by wallets and DEXs?
Support is broad but not universal across every extension. Verify the venues you plan to use before committing.
Should I use Token-2022 or classic SPL?
Use Token-2022 only if you need an extension. Otherwise classic SPL is simpler and more widely supported.
What does it cost?
The same 0.18 SOL platform fee plus network rent as a standard Solana mint.
Can I still revoke authorities on a Token-2022 mint?
Yes. Mint and freeze authority work the same way and can be revoked for 0.08 SOL each.
