Create your own Solana token in 60 seconds using a credit card. No wallet, no crypto, no code needed. Step-by-step guide with screenshots for 2026.
Creating your own cryptocurrency used to require coding skills, a crypto wallet, and existing cryptocurrency just to pay the gas fees. In 2026, none of that is true anymore.
With MintCraft, you can create a fully functional Solana SPL token in under 60 seconds — paying with a credit card, Apple Pay, or Google Pay. No wallet extension. No SOL. No command line. Just a browser and a card.
This guide walks you through every step of the process, from naming your token to going live on Solana.
Here is everything you need to create a Solana token with a credit card:
A web browser (Chrome, Safari, Firefox — any device including mobile)
A credit card, debit card, Apple Pay, or Google Pay
A name, symbol, and logo for your token
About 60 seconds of your time
That is the entire list. You do not need a crypto wallet like Phantom or Solflare. You do not need to own SOL or any other cryptocurrency. You do not need to install any browser extensions or software.
A Solana SPL token is a digital asset that lives on the Solana blockchain. SPL stands for Solana Program Library, which is the standard that governs how tokens work on Solana — similar to how ERC-20 is the standard on Ethereum.
When you create an SPL token, you are minting a new digital currency with your chosen name, symbol, total supply, and metadata. Once created, it exists permanently on the Solana blockchain and can be traded, transferred, burned, or used in any way you choose.
Solana is the preferred blockchain for token creation because of its speed (transactions confirm in under a second), low cost (fractions of a cent per transaction), and large ecosystem of decentralized exchanges like Raydium where your token can be traded.
The traditional process of creating a Solana token looks like this:
Install a browser wallet extension (Phantom, Solflare)
Create a wallet and secure your seed phrase
Open an account on a crypto exchange (Coinbase, Binance)
Complete KYC verification (can take days)
Buy SOL cryptocurrency
Transfer SOL from the exchange to your wallet
Navigate to a token creation tool that requires your wallet
Pay for creation using SOL from your wallet
Research suggests that approximately 85% of people who want to create a token abandon the process before completing step 3. The wallet setup step alone eliminates the vast majority of potential users.
MintCraft removes every one of these steps. The entire process is:
Go to mintcraft.io
Sign in with Google, email, or social accounts
Enter your token details
Pay with your credit card
Token is live on Solana
No wallet. No SOL. No exchange. No KYC for token creation. No waiting.
Go to mintcraft.io/solana/create-spl-token and sign in. You can use:
Google account
Email address
Twitter / X account
Phantom wallet (if you have one, but it is not required)
MintCraft creates an embedded wallet for you automatically when you sign in with a social account. This wallet is fully yours — you hold the keys — but you never have to think about it.
Fill in the token creation form with the following fields:
Token Name: The full name of your cryptocurrency (e.g., "MyCoin")
Symbol: The ticker symbol, up to 8 characters (e.g., "MYC")
Decimals: How divisible your token is. 6 is standard for utility tokens, 9 is common for meme coins
Total Supply: How many tokens to mint initially (e.g., 1,000,000,000)
Description: A brief description of your token's purpose
Logo: Upload a square PNG image for your token's icon
You can also optionally add social links (website, Twitter, Telegram, Discord) which will be embedded in your token's on-chain metadata. This is important because DEX aggregators like DexScreener and Birdeye pull this information to display alongside your token.
This is the step that makes MintCraft different from every competitor. Click "Create Token" and you will see a standard Stripe payment interface — the same secure checkout used by millions of websites worldwide.
You can pay with:
Visa, Mastercard, American Express, or any major credit card
Debit cards
Apple Pay (on supported devices)
Google Pay
Link/Stripe
The payment is processed in USD. You do not need to calculate SOL costs or worry about fluctuating crypto prices. You pay a fixed dollar amount and your token is created.
Within seconds of payment, your token is minted and deposited into your MintCraft wallet. You can verify it on Solana blockchain explorers like Solscan or Solana Explorer using your token's mint address.
Your token is now a real, on-chain Solana SPL token. It has the same technical properties as any token created through code or CLI — because it uses the same Solana Token Program under the hood.
Creating the token is step one. Here is the recommended sequence for a proper launch:
Your token is created with three authorities that you should consider revoking to build investor trust:
Revoke Mint Authority — Proves you cannot create more tokens, permanently fixing supply
Revoke Freeze Authority — Proves you cannot freeze tokens in holder wallets
Revoke Metadata Update — Makes your token immutable (name, symbol, logo cannot be changed)
Revoking all three is the fastest way to pass RugCheck and get a green trust score. You can do all three in under two minutes on MintCraft at mintcraft.io/solana/revoke-mint-authority.
To make your token tradeable on decentralized exchanges, you need a liquidity pool. MintCraft supports Raydium CPMM and CLMM pools directly at mintcraft.io/solana/create-liquidity-pool.
CPMM (Constant Product Market Maker) is recommended for most tokens — it is set-and-forget with automatic price discovery. CLMM (Concentrated Liquidity) is for advanced users who want higher fee capture within a specific price range.
After creating your liquidity pool, you receive LP tokens. These tokens represent your share of the pool, and holding them means you could theoretically remove all liquidity at any time — which is exactly what happens in a "rug pull."
To prove you will not do this, you should either:
Lock your LP — Temporarily lock LP tokens for a set period using mintcraft.io/solana/lp-lock
Burn your LP — Permanently destroy LP tokens, making removal impossible
LP Burn & Earn — An exclusive MintCraft feature that burns your LP tokens but still allows you to earn trading fees. This gives you the trust of a full burn with the income of providing liquidity. Available at mintcraft.io/solana/lp-burn-earn
Use MintCraft's multisend tool to airdrop tokens to your community. Upload a CSV of wallet addresses and amounts, and distribute to hundreds of wallets in a single transaction at mintcraft.io/solana/multisend.
MintCraft's pricing is dynamic and based on current Solana network conditions. Payments are made in USD via credit card, so you always know exactly what you are paying — no surprises from SOL price fluctuations or gas fee spikes.
For comparison, competitors require you to own SOL before you can begin. Smithii charges 0.1 to 0.6 SOL depending on features. OrionTools charges 0.3 to 0.5 SOL. CoinFactory charges approximately 0.15 SOL. All of them also require you to already have a wallet and SOL to pay for the transaction.
MintCraft is the only platform where the total cost is zero crypto. You pay in dollars, and you are done.
The credit card option is not just a convenience — it fundamentally changes who can create tokens. Entrepreneurs, creators, community builders, and anyone curious about crypto can now participate without any technical prerequisite.
Can I really create a crypto token without owning any crypto? Yes. MintCraft handles everything on the backend. You pay with a credit card in USD, and MintCraft executes the on-chain transaction for you.
Is my token a "real" cryptocurrency? Yes. It is a standard Solana SPL token that exists on the public blockchain. It can be traded on Raydium, viewed on Solscan, and interacted with by any Solana wallet.
Do I need any technical knowledge? No. The entire process is filling in a form and clicking a button. If you can shop online, you can create a token.
Can I create a meme coin this way? Absolutely. Meme coins are just SPL tokens with creative branding. Many meme coins launched through MintCraft have gone on to trade actively on Raydium.
What happens to my token if MintCraft goes down? Your token lives on the Solana blockchain, not on MintCraft's servers. It will continue to exist and function regardless of what happens to any platform.
Can I use this on mobile? Yes. MintCraft works on mobile browsers. You can create a token from your phone using Apple Pay or Google Pay.
Creating a Solana token in 2026 requires exactly three things: a name for your token, a logo, and a credit card. MintCraft has removed every other barrier — no wallet, no crypto, no code, no technical knowledge.
The entire process takes under 60 seconds and results in a real, on-chain SPL token that can be traded on Raydium, verified on Solscan, and distributed to your community.
