# Launch a test token

Create a fixed-supply Token-2022 mint using a wallet-signed Solana devnet transaction.

State: Solana devnet · Updated September 18, 2026

## What you need

Use a wallet-enabled browser and a Solana wallet that supports Wallet Standard devnet signing. Enable testnet mode if your wallet requires it. In-app browsers may not expose wallet extensions.

Get test SOL from the launcher or the official Solana faucet. Rate limits can delay funding. This flow uses only Solana devnet; it does not create a trading pool or connect the token to a studio project.

## Review, sign, verify

1. **Connect and fund.** Select Connect Solana wallet. Check the displayed devnet SOL balance; refresh after funding.

2. **Define the token.** Enter a short name (at least 2 characters, up to 32 UTF-8 bytes), a ticker of 2–8 letters or numbers starting with a letter, and a whole-number supply from 1 to 1 billion. Emoji and non-Latin letters can use several bytes.

3. **Review test launch.** Inspect the recipient, token details, account rent, and network fee. No platform fee is charged.

4. **Sign & create test token.** Approve the reviewed transaction in your wallet. A saved receipt appears while confirmation is checked.

5. **Inspect the confirmed receipt.** Use View token and View transaction to verify the mint and transaction on Solana Explorer’s devnet.

## What the transaction creates

| Property | Result |
| --- | --- |
| Network / standard | Solana devnet / Token-2022 |
| Supply | All tokens go to the connected wallet; six decimals. |
| Mint authority | Removed after the initial supply is minted. |
| Freeze authority | Absent. |
| Metadata | Name and ticker stored onchain; update authority removed. |
| Logo / metadata URI | Not included in this version. |
| Pool / creator fees | Not created. |

## If confirmation is slow

Use Recheck transaction on a pending receipt. The saved transaction blocks a duplicate launch until its outcome is known. Keep the browser’s saved receipt while resolving an interrupted submission.

Aftermark verifies the network and confirmed mint properties. The transaction has been exercised in local Solana VM tests; a live devnet launch still depends on a funded wallet and an available RPC. No mainnet execution is offered.
