Create a Solana SPL token in under 5 minutes
Alchemii is a no-code Solana token creator built for memecoin launchers, project founders, and anyone who wants to create an SPL token without writing Rust or touching the Solana CLI. Connect your wallet, fill in the form, sign the transaction — your Solana token lives on mainnet, indexable on Solscan the same way BONK, WIF, or any other Solana token is.
Whether you're launching a meme coin, a community token, a DAO governance token, or an in-game currency, the underlying primitive is the same: a Solana SPL token. Alchemii makes the creation flow identical for all of them, with use-case-aware defaults so memecoins get memecoin settings and utility tokens get utility settings. The token templates by use case page lays out the eight presets we ship.
What is a Solana SPL token?
SPL stands for Solana Program Library. An SPL token is the Solana equivalent of an ERC-20 — a fungible token that lives on the Solana blockchain, governed by a single shared on-chain program at TokenkegQfeZyiNwAJbNbGKPFXCWuBvf9Ss623VQ5DA. Memecoins, stablecoins, governance tokens, and utility tokens on Solana are all SPL tokens — see our full SPL token explainer for the 5-account model and authority semantics.
Unlike Ethereum, where every ERC-20 deploys its own contract, creating a Solana SPL token means creating a new mint account inside the existing SPL Token Program. That makes it cheap (typically under $15 in total fees) and fast (transactions confirm in under 2 seconds, per Solana's transaction docs). For the full cost breakdown including Metaplex metadata rent and ATA rent, see what it costs to launch a Solana token in 2026. It's why Solana has become the dominant chain for memecoin launches in 2026.
How Alchemii's Solana token creator works
Connect your Solana wallet (Phantom, Solflare, Backpack, or any wallet supported by the Solana Wallet Adapter), fill in your token's metadata, choose your decimals and supply, and optionally revoke mint, freeze, and update authorities. Alchemii bundles the SPL token creation, Metaplex metadata, and authority revocation into a single transaction your wallet signs. The Metaplex token metadata explainer covers the six on-chain + off-chain fields wallets read to display your name, symbol, and image.
We don't see your private key. Every transaction is signed locally in your browser by your own wallet — Alchemii is a no-custody tool. After your token is live, you can paste the mint address into our free Token Audit Checker to verify the four trust signals (mint authority, freeze authority, metadata, LP burn) returned the way you intended.
Solana token configuration explained
Every Solana SPL token has the same configurable fields, regardless of which tool creates it. Below is what each field does, the value to pick for a memecoin, and where the choice becomes irreversible.
Token name and symbol
Both are stored on-chain in the Metaplex Token Metadata account, not in the SPL mint itself. Name is the long form (e.g. "Bonk" on Solscan), symbol is the ticker ("BONK"). Both can be updated later if you keep update authority — but most memecoins revoke that authority at launch, which locks both fields permanently.
Decimals (pick 6 for memecoin parity)
Decimals control how many sub-units make up one whole token. Set it once at mint and you cannot change it. 6 is the Solana memecoin standard — same as USDC, which keeps your token's display consistent with what users already see in Phantom. 9 is technically valid but makes sub-cent prices read as awkwardly long numbers in wallets. 5 is what BONK uses. 0 = no fractional tokens — only pick this if you have a specific reason (some utility/governance tokens).
Initial supply (1B is the memecoin convention)
Initial supply is the total tokens minted at creation. For memecoins, 1 billion (1,000,000,000) with 6 decimals is the dominant pattern — it gives buyers a comfortable price-per-unit in the sub-cent range without looking artificially deflated. BONK used 100T at 5 decimals, which works but biases the price display toward scientific notation. If you plan to revoke mint authority (recommended), the supply you pick now is the supply forever.
Metadata image (IPFS, not your local server)
Alchemii pins your image to Pinata IPFS and writes the resulting URI to the Metaplex metadata account. Use PNG or SVG under 1 MB, square aspect ratio. The reason this matters: aggregators like DexScreener and Birdeye fetch this URL during indexing — if your image is on a short-lived hosting URL that 404s a week later, the logo disappears from every wallet that displays your token.
Mint authority revocation
The mint authority is the wallet that can create new supply. While it's active, the holder can dilute your token at any time by minting more. Revoking sets the field to null permanently — no one (including you) can ever mint again. For memecoins, this is non-negotiable for buyer trust. See our mint authority revocation guide for the on-chain mechanics and how to verify it on Solscan.
Freeze authority revocation
The freeze authority can freeze any token account holding your mint, blocking transfers. Compliance tokens like USDC retain this on purpose; memecoins should revoke it at launch. What is freeze authority on Solana walks through the legitimate cases for keeping it and why memecoin buyers treat an active freeze authority as a red flag (potential honeypot vector — see our memecoin glossary).
Update authority handling
The update authority controls whether the Metaplex metadata (name, symbol, image) can be changed after launch. Revoking makes the metadata immutable. Keep it (ideally on a multisig) if you may need to fix a typo or migrate the image URI; revoke it for maximum trust if branding is finalized. Either choice is defensible — the wrong move is leaving it on a single-sig hot wallet that could be compromised. Across our 47-launch dataset, retaining update authority on multisig and revoking it after the first 30 days is the most common pattern for projects with real teams.
Launching a meme coin? Read this first.
Memecoins are the majority of Solana token launches and they have specific configuration: 1B supply, 6 decimals (USDC parity — see USDC on Solscan for the reference), revoke mint/freeze/update authority, then create a Raydium pool and burn the LP. Get any of those wrong and you lose holder trust before the first trade. The full step-by-step is in how to create a meme coin on Solana.

Should I revoke mint and freeze authority?
For most memecoins and community tokens, yes. Revoking mint authority makes your supply permanently fixed, which is the baseline trust signal holders look for — see how to revoke mint authority on Solana for the on-chain mechanics. Freeze authority revocation guarantees that nobody can freeze a holder's tokens, which is required for many exchange listings and considered table-stakes by sophisticated buyers ( what is freeze authority on Solana covers the edge cases where retaining it is legitimate).
Update authority is a judgment call: revoke if your branding is final, keep it (ideally on a multisig) if you may need to fix typos or migrate metadata. For a deeper walkthrough, read our complete Solana SPL token creation guide. Across our 47-launch dataset, the projects that retained any authority post-launch faced more buyer scrutiny than the ones that revoked all three at mint time.

Frequently asked questions
How do I create a Solana SPL token?
Connect your Solana wallet, fill in token details (name, symbol, decimals, supply, image, social links), then click create. Alchemii deploys the SPL token directly to Solana mainnet — no coding required.
Can I create a meme coin on Solana with this tool?
Yes. Alchemii is a no-code Solana memecoin generator. Pick a meme name, set 1B supply with 6 decimals, revoke mint and freeze authority for trust, then deploy. The whole launch takes under five minutes.
Do I need coding experience to create a Solana token?
No. Alchemii's Solana token creator is a no-code tool. If you can fill in a form and click a button, you can mint your own SPL token or memecoin without writing a line of code.
How much does it cost to create a Solana token?
Token creation requires Solana network fees plus a small Alchemii service fee paid in SOL — about 0.07 SOL total (~$10–15 USD). There is no monthly subscription — you only pay when you mint.
Can I revoke mint and freeze authority on my token?
Yes. Alchemii lets you optionally revoke mint authority, freeze authority, and update authority during creation, making your token immutable and trustless for the community — required for most exchange listings.
What is the difference between SPL Token and Token-2022 (Token Extensions)?
SPL Token is the classic Solana fungible-token program at TokenkegQfeZyiNwAJbNbGKPFXCWuBvf9Ss623VQ5DA — the standard for memecoins and most existing tokens. Token-2022 (TokenzQdBNbLqP5VEhdkAS6EPFLC1PHnBqCXEpPxuEb) is a newer program that adds optional extensions like transfer fees, transfer hooks, interest-bearing tokens, and confidential transfers. For most memecoin and standard utility-token launches, classic SPL is the right choice. Use Token-2022 only when you specifically need an extension. Full breakdown in our SPL Token vs Token-2022 guide.
How many decimals should my Solana token have?
6 decimals is the memecoin standard (matches USDC). It gives you fine-grained pricing and matches the precision most traders expect on Solana. 9 decimals is the SPL Token Program default and works for utility tokens. 0 decimals is for tokens that should behave like integer points (loyalty programs, gaming inventory). Decimals are permanent — set once at mint creation, cannot change after deploy.
What should I do after creating my Solana token?
Four post-launch actions in order: (1) verify the mint on Solscan — check authorities + supply + metadata are correct; (2) create a Raydium liquidity pool with at least 5 SOL of seed liquidity; (3) burn the LP tokens for the strongest anti-rug trust signal; (4) submit to the Jupiter strict list for aggregator visibility. The full 11-step post-launch playbook is in the Solana memecoin launch checklist.
How do I add my token logo and metadata?
Upload your token logo (PNG or JPEG, square aspect, 512×512 minimum recommended) in the form. Alchemii pins the image to IPFS via Pinata and writes the URI into your token's Metaplex metadata account in the same transaction as the mint. Metadata also includes the token name, symbol, description, and social links (website, X/Twitter, Telegram). Phantom, Jupiter, DexScreener, Birdeye, and Solscan all read the Metaplex metadata account to display your logo and name. Skip the logo upload and your token shows as 'Unknown Token' in every wallet — fixable later only if update authority is still active.
