Here is how to create a meme coin on Solana without code: mint your SPL token with a no-code creator for 0.15 SOL, revoke the mint and freeze authority so no one can mint more or freeze wallets, then add liquidity so people can buy it.
Solana is where meme coins live, because mints and trades settle in seconds. This guide covers the three ways to launch one, the no-code steps in full, what it costs, and how to make your token look safe to buyers.
What is a Solana meme coin?
A meme coin, also written memecoin, is a token whose value comes from a community and a joke, not a product, like BONK or WIF. Under the hood it is a standard SPL token on the Solana blockchain, not an NFT. The meme is the marketing.
Solana became the home of meme coins because a launch confirms in seconds. With Tokenry it costs 0.15 SOL, plus about 0.016 SOL in Solana rent and network fees. On Ethereum, the gas for the same token rises and falls with network demand.
The 3 ways to create a meme coin on Solana
There are three routes, and they trade off speed, cost, and control. Here is the honest version.
| Route | Cost to launch | Who owns the mint | Ongoing fees | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Launchpad (pump.fun) | Little or nothing to start | The platform, until it graduates | Yes, a cut of every trade | Fast, viral bets |
| No-code creator | 0.15 SOL flat, revokes included | You, from the first second | None | A token you own and keep |
| Manual (Solana CLI) | Network fees and rent only | You | None | Developers comfortable with the CLI |
The bottom line: a launchpad is fastest, but you rent your token and pay fees on every trade. Coding it is cheapest in raw fees, but slow and easy to misconfigure. A no-code creator is the middle: you own the mint outright, pay once, and the authority revokes are included. This guide takes that route.
Create a meme coin with no code, step by step
Tokenry's Solana token creator mints your meme coin for 0.15 SOL, and revoking mint, freeze, and update authority is included in that fee. Here are the steps.
Step 1. Connect your wallet
Connect Phantom, or any Solana wallet, and keep about 0.17 SOL for the fee and network cost.
Step 2. Enter your meme coin details
Add the name, symbol, decimals, and total supply. Meme coins usually use 6 decimals with a very large supply, like one billion.
Upload your logo and a short description. This metadata is your meme's on-chain identity, so make it count.
Step 3. Revoke mint, freeze, and update authority
Scanners like RugCheck flag any of these you leave live, which makes buyers skip the token. Turn on all three; in Tokenry's tool the revokes are included in the 0.15 SOL fee.
- Mint - once revoked, no one can print more supply and dilute holders.
- Freeze - once revoked, no one can freeze wallets. Raydium also warns on a DEX pool whose token can still be frozen.
- Update - once revoked, the token's name, symbol and URI can no longer be edited.
Step 4. Review and create
Check the details, confirm the flat fee, and sign in your wallet. The transaction confirms in seconds, and your wallet shows the logo within a few minutes.
Copy the mint address, which is the token's permanent ID, and paste it into your wallet to see the balance.
Make it tradable: add liquidity
A token nobody can buy is not a coin yet. Create a pool on Raydium and pair your meme coin with SOL. That sets the opening price and lets people trade.
Pick the Standard AMM (CPMM) pool type. It is the simple, full-range option, it supports Token-2022, and unlike the old Legacy AMM it needs no OpenBook market. Raydium charges its own 0.15 SOL to create a CPMM pool, plus about 0.03 SOL of rent and the SOL you seed as liquidity. Tokenry's pool creator adds a flat 0.1 SOL.
Burn or lock the LP tokens afterwards, so holders know you cannot pull the liquidity. On a launchpad like pump.fun this happens on a bonding curve instead, and the token graduates to PumpSwap, pump.fun's own DEX, once it hits a threshold.
Is your meme coin safe? What scanners check
Before anyone buys, they run your token through a scanner like RugCheck or DexScreener. It flags the things that let a dev rug. Clear all four:
- Mint authority revoked - no one can print more supply.
- Freeze authority revoked - no one can freeze holder wallets.
- Update authority revoked - the on-token name, symbol and URI are fixed.
- Liquidity burned or locked - the dev cannot pull the pool.
A token with mint or freeze authority still live shows up red, and traders skip it. Revoking them at creation is the difference between a coin people trust and one they avoid. Our guide to revoking Solana authorities explains each one in depth.
How much does it cost to create a meme coin on Solana?
Tokenry's no-code creator mints a meme coin on Solana for 0.15 SOL, with all three authority revokes included. Solana rent and network fees add about 0.016 SOL. A Raydium CPMM pool adds Raydium's 0.15 SOL fee, about 0.03 SOL of rent and your liquidity, plus 0.1 SOL if you use Tokenry's pool creator. Launchpads cost little to start but take a cut of every trade.
- No-code creator: 0.15 SOL flat, with mint, freeze, and update revokes included, plus about 0.016 SOL in Solana rent and network fees.
- Launchpad (pump.fun): little or nothing to start, but the platform then takes a cut of every trade.
- Manual: the least in fees, since you pay only rent and network fees, but you do the revokes and liquidity yourself and carry the risk of getting them wrong.
Liquidity is a separate cost on any route except a launchpad. A Raydium CPMM pool costs 0.15 SOL to create, plus about 0.04 SOL of rent (and 0.1 SOL more through Tokenry's pool creator), and you seed it with your own SOL, which stays yours inside the pool.
Promote your meme coin
A meme coin lives or dies on attention. Once it is live and tradable:
- Set up X, Telegram, and Discord, and post the contract address everywhere.
- Airdrop to early supporters with the Solana multisender.
- Get listed on DexScreener, and apply to CoinGecko once it has real volume.
Common mistakes to avoid
- Leaving authorities live. Scanners flag it as a rug. Revoke mint and freeze before you promote anything.
- No liquidity, or an unlocked LP. Nobody can buy, or they fear you will pull the pool.
- Holding too much supply in the dev wallet. Buyers see it and stay away. Keep the dev bag small and visible.
- Faking volume. Bought volume gets tokens flagged and does not create real holders.
Educational content, not financial advice. Tokenry is a self-serve, non-custodial tool, not a financial advisor. Meme coins are extremely volatile and most lose all value - always do your own research before creating or buying any token.
