Token guide
How to create a Solana Token
01
Set the Token basics
Choose a clear name, ticker symbol, total supply, and decimal precision. The initial supply is minted when you create the Token, so review it carefully.
02
Prepare metadata
Add artwork, a description, and any ready website or community links. Compatible wallets and explorers use this information to identify the Token.
03
Choose authority policy
Mint authority controls future supply, freeze authority controls Token accounts, and update authority controls metadata. Revocations are permanent.
04
Choose the Token program and extensions
Use SPL Token for broad compatibility. Token-2022 adds native metadata plus optional transfer-fee, default-frozen, pausable, permanent-delegate, non-transferable, and mint-close settings. Choose carefully: these settings are generally permanent and utility compatibility varies by extension.
05
Review and sign
Check the displayed fee, supply, metadata, and authority choices in your wallet before approving. The creation action is prepared as one transaction.

Questions, answered.
What is a Solana token?
A Solana token is a digital asset issued on the Solana blockchain. It can represent a community token, in-app utility, governance right, reward, or another on-chain use case. Its capabilities depend on its Token program, on-chain extension settings, and authorities chosen by its creator.
What is SolanaLauncher?
SolanaLauncher is a browser-based toolkit for creating and managing SPL Token Program mints and a scoped set of Token-2022 mints. It provides wallet-signed workflows for Token creation, minting, authority changes, bulk distributions, holder exports, and wrapping or unwrapping SOL.
How do I create a Solana token using SolanaLauncher?
Enter the Token name, symbol, total supply, decimals, metadata, and authority choices. Choose SPL Token for broad compatibility, or Token-2022 for native metadata plus optional transfer-fee, default-frozen, pausable, permanent-delegate, non-transferable, and mint-close settings. Review the displayed transaction in your connected wallet and approve it. The Token is created after the Solana transaction confirms.
Can I customize my token?
Yes. You can set the name, symbol, supply, decimals, image, description, website, and community links before creation. You can also decide whether mint, freeze, and metadata-update authorities remain active or are permanently revoked. For Token-2022, the available extension settings are selected at creation and generally cannot be added or removed later.
Do all SolanaLauncher tools support every Token-2022 extension?
No. Mint Supply, primary authority changes, metadata updates, and the incinerator accept mints with the six creator extensions, subject to their on-chain state: paused mints cannot be minted, burned, or distributed, and frozen accounts cannot be burned. Multisender supports native metadata, transfer-fee, mint-close, permanent-delegate, and pausable mints only while they are unpaused; it does not support default-frozen or non-transferable mints. Holder Snapshot currently supports the SPL Token Program only.
How secure is SolanaLauncher?
Transactions are prepared for approval by your connected wallet, and SolanaLauncher does not take custody of your Token supply. Always verify the mint address, Token details, authority action, destination address, and fee in your wallet before signing. Never share a seed phrase or private key.
What happens if a Multisender distribution stops after some batches?
Each Multisender batch is an independent on-chain transaction. Completed batches remain final if a later batch is rejected or fails. The app shows the completed count and provides a CSV containing only the remaining recipients, which can be retried without sending again to completed recipients. The 0.5 SOL platform fee is collected with the first batch and is not reversed if a later batch fails; retrying the remaining CSV does not collect that platform fee again.
Where can I get support if I have problems?
Visit the SolanaLauncher community and social channels listed on the contact page for product updates and support options. Do not share a seed phrase or private key in any support conversation.
