What "no code" means here
Normally, creating a token means using command-line tools or writing a script that builds several Solana instructions: create the mint account, set the decimals, attach the name and image, create your token account, and mint the supply. A no-code launcher does that for you, and you approve each transaction in your wallet.
What you get is the same as if you had done it by hand: a standard SPL token with a permanent mint address. The step-by-step version is in our token creation guide.
Before you start
- A Solana wallet (Phantom or Solflare) with the seed phrase safely backed up offline. Never share it with anyone.
- SOL for fees and liquidity. Check the cost breakdown first.
- Your assets: a square image, a name, a short ticker (3 to 6 letters is usual) and a one-line description.
The steps
- Open the token creator and connect your wallet.
- Upload the image. It is pinned to IPFS so wallets and explorers can show it.
- Enter the name, ticker and description.
- Set decimals (9 is the usual choice) and total supply.
- Choose optional add-ons: creator name, social links, and revoking authorities.
- Enter the SOL to pair for the liquidity pool. Without a pool the token cannot be traded.
- Approve the wallet prompts, then save your mint address.
Authorities: decide before you launch
Every token has three authorities: mint (create more supply), freeze (freeze holders' accounts) and update (change the metadata). Revoking them is irreversible. Many creators revoke mint and freeze to build trust. The most important one is explained in how to revoke mint authority on Solana.
Mistakes first-timers make
- Skipping liquidity, so nobody can trade the token
- Adding almost no liquidity, so tiny trades swing the price wildly
- Sharing a wallet address instead of the mint address
- Running out of SOL before the pool step
