Tokens that exist on-chain but don't appear in Phantom, LP burns that don't trigger the DexScreener badge, metadata that ships but renders as 'Unknown Token,' Jupiter strict-list PRs that get rejected — every Solana launch hits a few of these. The articles below cover the most common failure modes with the on-chain diagnostic (Solscan field to check, transaction to retry, instruction to compare) and the fix. Each piece is written from the operator perspective of someone who has actually shipped a launch and watched it not show up in a buyer's wallet.

How these Troubleshooting guides connect
Every guide tagged troubleshooting 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 troubleshooting 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.
