Solana Token Tools
Everything SolanaForge offers on Solana in one place: create an SPL or Token-2022 token, attach Metaplex metadata, revoke authorities, and manage Raydium liquidity — each step signed in your own wallet.
0.18 SOL platform fee plus Solana network rent. Creating a token does not create demand for it.
What Solana is
Solana is a layer-1 blockchain that combines proof-of-stake consensus with a proof-of-history sequencing layer, which lets validators agree on transaction ordering without waiting on each other. Its native asset, SOL, pays network fees and the rent that keeps accounts alive on-chain. Because fees are denominated in fractions of a cent, Solana is commonly used for high-frequency applications: DEX trading, payments, NFTs, and token launches.
Fungible tokens on Solana are not smart contracts you deploy yourself. They are accounts owned by a shared on-chain program — the SPL Token Program, or the newer Token-2022 program for tokens that need extensions. That is why creating a Solana token takes one transaction rather than a contract deployment and audit cycle.
Solana token concepts, in plain terms
Mint account
Holds supply, decimals, and the mint and freeze authorities. It is the token's on-chain identity.
Metaplex metadata
A separate account storing name, symbol, and a URI to JSON with the logo. This is what wallets and explorers display.
Associated token account
Each holder gets one account per token. It stores that wallet's balance and pays a small one-time rent.
Authorities
Mint, freeze, and update authority. Each can be revoked; revoking is optional and cannot be undone.
Liquidity pool
A Raydium CPMM pool pairs your token with SOL or USDC so it can be swapped. No pool, no trading.
Token-2022 extensions
Optional features such as transfer fees, transfer hooks, non-transferable tokens, and interest-bearing balances.
Creating a token on Solana, step by step
Step 1. Connect a Solana wallet
Phantom, Solflare, or Backpack via Wallet Standard.
Step 2. Enter token details
Name, symbol, decimals, supply, logo, description, and links.
Step 3. Choose the program
Standard SPL, or Token-2022 if you need extensions such as transfer fees or hooks.
Step 4. Review costs
The 0.18 SOL platform fee and the Solana network rent are shown before you sign.
Step 5. Sign one transaction
The mint, supply, Metaplex metadata, IPFS pin, and any selected revokes are submitted together.
Step 6. Add liquidity if you want it traded
Create a Raydium CPMM pool against SOL or USDC from the pool tools.

Create a Solana tokenSolana FAQ
What is Solana?
Solana is a high-throughput layer-1 blockchain that uses a proof-of-history sequencing layer alongside proof-of-stake consensus. Its native asset is SOL, which pays transaction fees and account rent. Fungible tokens on Solana are issued through the SPL Token Program or its newer Token-2022 extension program.
What is an SPL token?
SPL is Solana's token standard. An SPL token is defined by a mint account (which stores supply, decimals, and the mint/freeze authorities) and one associated token account per holder. Human-readable name, symbol, and logo come from a Metaplex metadata account attached to the mint.
What is the difference between SPL and Token-2022?
Token-2022 is a separate program that keeps the SPL interface and adds optional extensions such as transfer fees, transfer hooks, non-transferable tokens, interest-bearing balances, and confidential transfers. Standard SPL is the more widely supported choice; Token-2022 is for tokens that need those extensions.
What does it cost to create a token on Solana?
Solana charges rent for the mint, token, and metadata accounts plus a per-signature network fee — typically a small fraction of a SOL. SolanaForge adds a 0.18 SOL platform fee for the creation flow. Liquidity pool creation is 0.1 SOL, liquidity add/remove and LP burn are 0.09 SOL, and authority revokes are 0.08 SOL.
What are mint and freeze authorities?
The mint authority can issue more supply; the freeze authority can freeze a holder's token account. Both can be revoked, which permanently removes that capability from the token. Revoking is optional and irreversible.
Which Solana wallets does SolanaForge support?
Any Wallet Standard wallet, including Phantom, Solflare, and Backpack, on desktop and mobile. Every transaction is built in your browser and signed in your own wallet; SolanaForge never holds keys or custody of your token.
How do people trade a new Solana token?
A token becomes tradeable once a liquidity pool exists for it. On SolanaForge you can create a Raydium CPMM pool against SOL or USDC, manage liquidity, and optionally burn the LP tokens. Creating a pool does not create demand or guarantee any trading activity.
