Field notes
Plain, exact walkthroughs from the people who build the benches — how to create a token, price a pool, revoke authorities, read a certificate, and get your rent back. No hype, no filler, every number itemized.
A Solana token costs about 0.21 SOL to create — network rent plus a service fee. Here is the full 2026 breakdown, why "free" is a myth, and how the costs compare.
Every pump.fun token has revoked authorities — so that check tells you nothing. Here is what actually matters: holder concentration, liquidity, and the contract address.
Reward your pump.fun token holders with an airdrop — how to take a holder snapshot, build the CSV, avoid the token-account rent trap, and send it in batched transactions.
Your pump.fun coin hit the bonding curve threshold and migrated to a real pool. Here is what you control, what you don't, and the seven things worth doing next.
Locking or burning liquidity is what proves you can't rug a Solana token. Here is the difference, how each works, which to choose, and how buyers verify it on-chain.

The best sites to create a meme coin on Solana in 2026, compared honestly — bonding-curve launchpads versus direct token creators, what each costs, and which to pick.
A honeypot lets you buy but not sell; a rug pull drains the liquidity. Here is how to check any Solana token before you buy — authorities, liquidity, holders, and metadata.
Open a Raydium liquidity pool for your Solana token — no OpenBook market needed. How CPMM pools work, how to price your first market, and how to lock or burn the LP.
Airdrop an SPL token to hundreds or thousands of wallets from a CSV — batched, validated, and priced per transaction. Here is how a Solana multisender works and what it costs.
Revoking mint and freeze authority is what proves your Solana token cannot be inflated or frozen. Here is what each authority does, how to revoke it, and why buyers check.
SPL is the original Solana token standard; Token-2022 adds extensions like transfer fees. Here is the difference, the compatibility trade-off, and how to choose for your token.
A Solana tax token uses the Token-2022 transfer-fee extension to withhold a percentage on every transfer — no contract code. Here is how to set the fee, cap, and treasury.
Create a Solana SPL token in under a minute with no code — name, supply, logo, and metadata in one signed transaction. Here is every step, cost, and setting explained.
Change your Solana token's name, symbol, or logo, then lock the metadata forever by revoking update authority. Here is how metadata works, how to edit it, and when to make it immutable.
Every token you have held left ~0.002 SOL of rent locked in an empty account. Here is how to close those accounts and reclaim the SOL — safely, in one signed transaction.
