01
Prepare a wallet
Use a Solana wallet you control and keep enough SOL available for account creation, metadata storage, and network fees. Your wallet signs every instruction locally.

Authority
A wallet allowed to mint more supply or freeze token accounts.
The launch blueprint
Five decisions from wallet to mint.
SolanaLab packages the underlying instructions into one guided flow. You remain in control of the values, authority choices, and wallet approval.
02
Define the token
Choose a name, ticker symbol, decimal precision (usually 6), and initial supply (usually 1,000,000,000).
03
Add recognizable metadata
Upload a small square image and write a description. This metadata helps compatible wallets and explorers present the mint as a recognizable asset instead of a raw address.
04
Choose authority settings
Decide whether to revoke mint authority and freeze authority. Revocation is permanent, so make the choice based on how the token is meant to operate—not as a cosmetic checkbox.
05
Create and record the mint
Review the preview, submit the transaction, and approve it in your wallet. Save the resulting mint address: it is the canonical identity of your new token.
Authority is a product decision.
There is no universally correct setting but it's best to keep mint and freeze authority revoked.
Mint authority
Keep It
Allows the authority wallet to issue more tokens later.
Revoke It
Permanently fixes supply after the initial mint.
Freeze authority
Keep It
Allows the authority wallet to freeze compatible token accounts.
Revoke It
Permanently removes that freezing capability.
Build on mainnet
Your mint starts with a clear specification.
Prepare the name, symbol, supply, image, and authority choices before opening the creator.
