How Solana Token Costs Break Down

Creating a token on Solana involves several on-chain costs that are often hidden or unclear. Here's what you actually pay when you create an SPL or Token-2022 token:

  • Network fee: Solana charges ~0.000005 SOL per signature. Creating a token requires 3-6 signatures depending on authority revokes.
  • Rent deposit: ~0.0029 SOL is deposited as rent for the mint account and metadata account. This is recoverable if you close the accounts.
  • Metadata storage: If you add a logo and social links, metadata is stored permanently on Arweave via Irys (~0.002 SOL).
  • Tool fee: The platform you use charges a fee. CreateSolana charges 0.25-0.30 SOL; Smithii charges 0.30 SOL.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the rent deposit recoverable?

Yes. The ~0.0029 SOL rent deposit is recoverable if you close the mint and metadata accounts. Use our Rent Recovery tool to reclaim SOL from empty accounts.

What's the cheapest way to create a Solana token?

The cheapest option is creating a token without metadata (0.25 SOL on CreateSolana). Adding metadata costs 0.30 SOL but makes your token visible in DexScreener, wallets, and explorers.

Do I need to pay rent forever?

No. Solana rent is a one-time deposit, not a recurring fee. As long as the account exists, the rent is held. When you close the account, the rent is returned to your wallet.
