Solana blockchain stands apart from Ethereum, BNB Chain, and others with its unique programming language and technical architecture. While this brings advantages, it also creates a steeper learning curve for deploying token contracts.
Fortunately, GTokenTool — a leading no-code token creation platform — now offers specialized Solana token deployment tools. This guide will walk you through creating your own Solana token contract in under 3 minutes.
Step 1: Connect Your Phantom Wallet
- Visit the GTokenTool official website and navigate to the "Solana Token Creation" section.
- Click "Select Wallet" in the top-right corner.
Choose Phantom Wallet from the pop-up menu to connect.
- ✅ Success Indicator: Your wallet address will display in the top-right corner.
- ❌ Troubleshooting: If you see an error, refresh the page and ensure Phantom Wallet is installed.

Step 2: Configure Token Parameters
Fill in these key details for your token:
| Parameter | Requirements |
|---|---|
| Full Name | Supports English, Chinese, or mixed characters. |
| Symbol | 3–5 characters (uppercase recommended). |
| Decimals | Default: 9 (values above 9 are unsupported). |
| Total Supply | Adjust based on your tokenomics. |
| Description | Max 19 characters (Chinese or English). |
| Logo Image | ≤100KB; ideal dimensions: 256×256px (square). |
Example Configuration:
Full Name: Solana Ecosystem Builder
Symbol: SEB
Decimals: 9
Supply: 10,000,000
Description: Powering Solana projects After verifying your inputs, click "Create Now". Phantom Wallet will prompt you to confirm and pay the deployment fee (typically < $5 in SOL).
Step 3: Upload Token Logo
⚠️ Critical Note: The logo uploaded during contract creation isn’t automatically on-chain. Follow these steps to make it visible in wallets/Solana explorers:
- On the contract confirmation page, click "Add LOGO".
- Approve the fee via Phantom Wallet (covers image storage on-chain).
- Wait ~10 seconds for confirmation. If errors occur (e.g., "Update Failed"), retry.
Verification:
- Check your wallet — the logo should now display.
- Search your token on Solana Explorer to view metadata.
Step 4: Liquidity Pool Setup (Optional)
To enable trading:
- Deposit your token and SOL into Raydium or Orca to create a liquidity pool.
- Set initial swap ratios and fees (e.g., 0.3% trading fee).

FAQs
Q1: Why does my token logo not show immediately?
A: Logo visibility depends on Solana’s indexers updating (~15–30 minutes). Refresh your wallet or explorer later.
Q2: Can I change token parameters after deployment?
A: No. Symbol, decimals, and total supply are immutable. Plan carefully before deploying.
Q3: How do I verify my token contract?
A: Use Solana’s CLI tools or explorers to audit the deployed contract code.
Q4: What’s the average cost to create a Solana token?
A: Typically $3–$10 in SOL (network fees + logo storage).
