Ethereum — Solana Token GuidesSolana and Ethereum solve the same problem — fungible tokens — with fundamentally different architectures, and the difference shapes cost, speed, and trust signals. Ethereum's ERC-20 deploys unique contract bytecode per token (so each one can behave differently and needs source-code verification on Etherscan); Solana's SPL standard shares one on-chain program across every token, storing per-token state in mint and token accounts. That single design choice is why Solana launches settle in ~1.5 seconds for cents while Ethereum mainnet deploys can cost orders of magnitude more in gas. The articles below compare the two models field by field — supply, decimals, authorities, metadata, verification — so you understand what carries over and what doesn't when moving between chains.

How these Ethereum guides connect
Every guide tagged ethereum is written from the operator's seat — by people who have launched real Solana tokens and watched what actually happens after the transaction confirms. Rather than abstract documentation, each piece covers the on-chain mechanics, the irreversible decisions, and the verification steps you check on Solscan, DexScreener, and Phantom before and after you sign. Read them together and you get the full picture for this part of the launch, not an isolated how-to.
New to launching on Solana? Start with How to Create a Solana SPL Token for the end-to-end walkthrough, work through the Solana memecoin launch checklist, then come back to the ethereum guides above for the detail on this specific step. When you're ready to ship, the Solana token creator handles the mint, metadata, and authority revocation in one no-code flow — no Rust, no CLI.
