How do I create a Solana token?

Use Toolther's token creation tool. Connect your wallet (Phantom or Solflare), fill in token details (name, symbol, decimals, supply), upload a logo, and click Create Token. The token will be created on Solana blockchain with full metadata support.

What networks are supported?

Toolther supports both Solana Mainnet for real tokens and Solana Devnet for testing purposes. You can switch networks in the settings.

How much does it cost to create a token?

Token creation costs include Solana network fees (approximately 0.002 SOL) plus a small service fee. The total cost depends on your chosen options and current network conditions.

What is Mint Authority?

Mint Authority allows you to create additional tokens after the initial creation. If revoked, no more tokens can ever be minted, making the supply fixed forever.

What is Freeze Authority?

Freeze Authority allows you to freeze and unfreeze token accounts. If revoked, token accounts cannot be frozen, which is often preferred for decentralized tokens.

Overview

Freeze Authority is a powerful feature that allows token creators to control access to their tokens. You can freeze specific user accounts, preventing them from transferring tokens, and later unfreeze them if needed.

Use Cases

Freeze Authority is commonly used in various scenarios:

Regulatory Compliance: Freeze accounts that violate terms of service

Security Measures: Temporarily freeze suspicious accounts

User Management: Control access to premium or restricted tokens

KYC Verification: Freeze accounts until identity verification is complete

Technical Details

Understanding how freeze authority works technically:

Freeze Account: Sets a flag on the token account that prevents transfers

Thaw Account: Removes the freeze flag, allowing transfers again

Revoke Authority: Permanently removes the ability to freeze/thaw accounts

Note: Revoking freeze authority is irreversible and cannot be undone

Freezing and Unfreezing Token Accounts

You can freeze or unfreeze specific token accounts. This is useful for managing user access to tokens or implementing security measures.

Steps:

1Select a token with freeze authority from the dropdown above

2Enter a wallet address or token account address to freeze/unfreeze

3Click 'Freeze' or 'Unfreeze' to execute the operation

Note: You cannot freeze your own token account as it would block your own tokens.

Revoking Freeze Authority

Revoking freeze authority permanently disables the ability to freeze or unfreeze token accounts for that token. This action is irreversible.

Steps:

Select a token with freeze authority from the dropdown above

Switch to the 'Revoke Freeze Authority' tab

Click 'Revoke Freeze Authority' to execute

Warning: This action cannot be undone. Once revoked, you will never be able to freeze or unfreeze accounts for this token again.

Best Practices

Follow these guidelines for safe and effective use:

Always backup your wallet and private keys before making authority changes

Test freeze/unfreeze operations on devnet first

Document all freeze operations for audit purposes

Communicate freeze policies clearly to users

Monitor frozen accounts regularly and review freeze decisions

Examples

Real-world scenarios and how to handle them:

Scenario 1: User violates terms of service

1. Identify the user's token account address 2. Use the freeze function to block their account 3. Contact the user to resolve the issue 4. Unfreeze the account once resolved

Scenario 2: Implementing KYC requirements

1. Freeze new user accounts upon creation 2. Guide users through KYC verification process 3. Unfreeze accounts after successful verification 4. Maintain compliance records

Troubleshooting

Common issues and solutions:

No Freeze Authority: Ensure your token has freeze authority enabled

Insufficient SOL: Check your wallet has enough SOL for transaction fees

Network Issues: Verify you're connected to the correct network (devnet/mainnet)

Freezing Own Account: You cannot freeze your own token account

Service Fees

Service fees are charged for freezing/unfreezing accounts and revoking freeze authority. These fees help maintain the platform and cover transaction costs.

Freezing accounts: Service fee applies0 SOL

Unfreezing accounts: Service fee applies0 SOL

Revoking freeze authority: Service fee applies0 SOL

Requirements

To use the freeze authority functionality, you need:

Connected Solana wallet

Tokens with freeze authority

Sufficient SOL balance for fees

Active network connection (devnet/mainnet)
