Everything you need to launch a token on Solbase
What is Solbase
Solbase is a no-code token launcher for the Solana and Base blockchains. You connect a wallet, fill in your token's details, and Solbase builds and submits the on-chain transaction that creates it — no programming required.
Solbase is non-custodial. It never holds your private keys, your funds, or your tokens. Every transaction is signed in your own wallet, and the entire token supply is minted directly to your address. Solbase cannot move, freeze, or claw back anything you create.
Launching a token
- 1. Connect your wallet. Choose Solana or Base and connect a supported wallet, either from the launch form itself or from the button in the top navigation.
- 2. Configure your token. On the Launch page, enter a name, symbol, and total supply (a whole number from 1 to 1 trillion). For Solana tokens, also upload a logo (required) and optionally add a description and social links. Base tokens need only a name, symbol, and supply.
- 3. Launch. Review the summary, including the platform fee and estimated total, then approve the single transaction in your wallet. Once it confirms, you're taken to a success page with your token's address, a link to the block explorer, and a link to its public token page. Tokens you launch from this browser are also listed on your Tokens page (stored locally on this device only).
Heads up: token creation is permanent and on-chain. Double-check the name, symbol, and supply before approving — the supply is fixed by default, and the name and symbol can only be updated later on Solana if you leave the metadata mutable.
Solana vs Base
Solbase deploys real tokens on whichever chain you choose. They use different token standards:
⚡ Solana
- SPL token with on-chain Metaplex metadata
- Logo & metadata stored on IPFS via Pinata
- 6 decimals
- Mint authority revoked by default; no freeze authority
- Fast, very low network fees
🔷 Base
- Standard fixed-supply ERC-20
- Full supply minted to your wallet
- 18 decimals
- No owner, mint, freeze, or blacklist functions
- No on-chain logo or links
- Ethereum L2 (secured by Ethereum), built by Coinbase
Solana token settings. Solbase never sets a freeze authority, so no one can freeze holders' tokens. Mint authority is revoked by default at launch, which permanently fixes the supply; you can choose to keep it, but explorers and token scanners will flag that as a risk. Metadata is mutable by default — your wallet stays the update authority and can change the name, symbol, or logo later with standard tools — unless you tick "make metadata immutable" at launch to lock it forever.
Logos on Base. ERC-20 tokens store no logo or links on-chain, so there's no logo upload for Base. After launch, you can apply to add a logo through Basescan's token info update form (Basescan asks for the contract's source code to be verified first) or listings such as CoinGecko.

Fees
Launching a token involves two separate costs:
- Solbase platform fee. A flat fee per launch: 0.01 SOL on Solana and 0.001 ETH on Base. It's included in the same transaction that creates your token, so you approve just one transaction — and if that transaction fails or you reject it, no platform fee is charged. There are no percentage fees or subscriptions.
- Network costs. Required to create your token on-chain and not collected by Solbase. On Solana they include Metaplex's metadata fee (about 0.01 SOL, paid to Metaplex), rent deposits for the mint, token account, and metadata accounts (about 0.009 SOL), and a network fee of a fraction of a cent. On Base, gas is typically a few cents. Network and gas fees vary with network conditions.
All-in, a Solana launch costs about 0.03 SOL, and a Base launch costs 0.001 ETH plus gas.
The launch form shows the platform fee and an estimated total before you confirm. Everything is paid from your connected wallet at launch time, so make sure you hold enough SOL or ETH to cover it. Fees are non-refundable once a transaction confirms.
Supported wallets
⚡ Solana
Phantom, Solflare, and Coinbase Wallet, plus Backpack and other Wallet Standard wallets, which are detected automatically.
🔷 Base
A regular (EOA) wallet: MetaMask, the Coinbase Wallet app or extension, Phantom, Rainbow, Rabby, Trust or another WalletConnect wallet. Smart-contract wallets (Base Account / Coinbase Smart Wallet, Safe) can't deploy a token contract. Solbase will prompt you to switch to the Base network if needed.
You can connect from the launch form itself or from the button in the top navigation.
After launch
- Share your token page. Every token gets a public page at solbase.app/tokens/{chain}/{address} showing its on-chain details (supply, decimals, and authority status), with links to Solscan or Basescan, DexScreener, and Swap.
- Add it to your wallet. Import the token using its contract / mint address so the balance shows up.
- Add a logo (Base). Base tokens have no on-chain logo. Apply through Basescan's token info update form (it requires verified contract source) or listings such as CoinGecko.
- Add liquidity. To make your token tradable, create a liquidity pool on a DEX — Raydium, Orca, or Meteora for Solana, or Uniswap or Aerodrome for Base. The success page links you straight there. Solbase doesn't provide liquidity or list tokens; this step is up to you.
- Swap. Use the Swap page to trade tokens on either chain.
Troubleshooting
- Transaction failed or timed out. Usually a network congestion or RPC issue. Make sure you have enough SOL or ETH for fees and try again.
- Transaction expired or not confirmed. This usually happens when the network is congested. If the transaction didn't confirm, nothing was created and no fee was charged — check your wallet activity or the block explorer if you're unsure, then try again.
- Logo upload failed. Make sure your image is a valid PNG, JPG, WebP, or GIF file and try again. If it keeps failing, contact support on X (@SolBaseApp) or Discord.
- Wallet won't connect. Confirm the wallet extension is unlocked and set to the correct chain, then refresh the page.
- "Wrong network" on Base. Approve the prompt to switch your wallet to the Base network before launching.
