Frequently asked questions
Everything you need to know about creating a Solana token with MINTARO. Still stuck? Read the guides.
How much does it cost to create a Solana token?+
MINTARO charges a flat creation fee starting at 0.1 SOL, shown clearly before you sign. On top of that you pay Solana's network fee and a small account rent (together roughly 0.003 SOL). There are no subscriptions and no cut of your token supply.
Is MINTARO non-custodial? Do you hold my funds?+
Yes, it is fully non-custodial. We never ask for your seed phrase or private key and never take custody of your SOL or tokens. You approve every transaction inside your own Phantom or Solflare wallet, and the token is minted directly to your address.
Do I need to know how to code?+
No. Enter a name, ticker, supply and decimals, connect your wallet, and approve one transaction. There is no Solidity, Rust, or command line involved.
Which wallets are supported?+
Phantom and Solflare, via their browser extensions. On mobile, open mintaro.top inside your wallet app's built-in browser so the wallet can inject its provider.
What token standard do you use?+
SPL Token-2022 (the Token Extensions program). Your token's name, symbol and metadata URI are written on-chain using the Metadata Pointer and Token Metadata extensions, so no external Metaplex or Arweave upload is required.
What are mint and freeze authorities, and should I revoke them?+
The mint authority can create more supply; the freeze authority can freeze holders' balances. Revoking both is common for trustworthy fixed-supply tokens and helps DEX scanners mark your token as safe. Revoking is irreversible, so MINTARO makes it optional and clearly labelled.
Can I test before spending real SOL?+
Yes. MINTARO ships in devnet test mode by default. Fund your wallet with free faucet SOL, create tokens as many times as you like for free, and only switch to mainnet when you are ready to launch for real.
Where will my token appear after creation?+
As a standard on-chain token it can be viewed immediately on Solana explorers such as Solscan. Aggregators like DEX Screener and Birdeye list tokens automatically once they have a liquidity pool and trading activity.
Does creating a token add liquidity or make it tradable?+
No. Creation mints the token and its metadata to your wallet. To make it tradable you separately add liquidity on a DEX such as Raydium. See our guides for how to do that.
Is my token guaranteed to gain value?+
No. Creating a token is a technical action, not an investment, and nothing here is financial advice. Most tokens have little or no market value. Never spend more than you can afford to lose.
Can MINTARO or anyone reverse a transaction?+
No. Solana transactions are irreversible once confirmed. Double-check every field before approving. MINTARO cannot undo, refund, or modify an on-chain action.
What do I need before I start?+
A Solana wallet (Phantom or Solflare) with enough SOL to cover the creation fee plus the small network cost — or free devnet SOL if you are testing.
