Solana's blockchain has recently surged in popularity, with many users eager to launch their own tokens. However, the technical barriers of coding knowledge can be daunting. Slerf.Tools simplifies this process with a visual interface, enabling anyone to create and manage Solana tokens effortlessly. This guide walks you through creating your custom Solana token in just 60 seconds.
Step-by-Step Solana Token Creation Process
Prerequisites:
- Device: Computer or smartphone
- Wallet: Solana-compatible wallet (e.g., Phantom)
- Balance: Minimum 0.15 SOL in your wallet
- Assets: Token logo (256×256px PNG/JPG/GIF) and metadata (name, symbol, description)
Steps to Create Your Token:
Connect Your Wallet
SlerfTools supports Phantom, Solflare, OKX Wallet, and others.
👉 Click here to start creating your Solana token- Navigate to SlerfTools' token creator page.
- Click "Connect Wallet" and authorize the connection.
Enter Token Details
Fill in the following fields:- Name: Full token name (e.g., "My Awesome Token")
- Symbol: Ticker (3–10 uppercase chars, e.g., "AWE")
- Decimals: Typically 6 (utility tokens) or 9 (high-precision)
- Description: Brief overview of the token's purpose
- Logo: Upload a 256×256px image
- Total Supply: Fixed amount (e.g., 1,000,000,000)
Set Permissions
Choose whether to:- Renounce minting (prevents future supply changes)
- Renounce freezing (ensures liquidity)
- Lock metadata (makes name/logo immutable)
Confirm and Pay
- Approve the transaction in your wallet (~0.12 SOL fee).
- Wait ~10 seconds for metadata generation.
Access Your Token
- Copy the new token’s contract address from SlerfTools.
- View the token in your wallet (may take minutes to display the logo).

FAQs
1. What’s the cost to create a Solana token?
The flat fee is 0.12 SOL, covering network costs and optional permission renunciation.
2. Can I update my token’s logo later?
Only if you don’t renounce metadata authority during creation.
3. Why isn’t my token logo showing in Phantom?
Solana wallets sometimes sync delays. Check your token on Solscan for verification.
4. What’s the maximum token supply?
SPL tokens support up to 18,446,744,073,709,551,615 units (adjusted for decimals).
5. Do I need to open-source my token’s contract?
No. All SPL tokens use Solana’s standardized contract.
