Create a Solana Token for Your Use Case

Different token types need different settings. Pick the use case that matches what you're launching — we'll pre-configure the form, explain the tradeoffs, and walk you through the deployment.

Most Solana token creation guides give you a single recipe and assume one-size-fits-all. It doesn't. A memecoin should revoke mint authority and use a 1% fee tier; a game token should keep mint authority on a multisig and use 0.25%; a loyalty program should use 0 decimals and pre-mint years of supply. Launching a memecoin specifically? Skip the template selection and go straight to our pre-configured Solana meme coin creator.

Below are 8 pre-configured launch flows. Each page covers the recommended decimals, supply, authority structure, and fee tier for that use case — plus the common mistakes that have killed projects launching that exact type of token.

Launch flows by use case

How to pick the right use case

The use case determines the right configuration. The most consequential decisions:

  • Decimals — 6 for memecoins (USDC parity), 9 for utility tokens, 0 for loyalty / integer-point systems.
  • Mint authority — revoke for memecoins, transfer to Squads multisig for utility tokens with planned emissions.
  • Freeze authority — revoke for memecoins, keep active for regulated stablecoins (OFAC compliance).
  • LP burn timing — at deploy for memecoins, post-vesting for tokens with scheduled unlocks.
