Mint Solana Tokens
Increase your token supply securely — supports SPL & Token-2022 standards with mint authority
What is Token Minting?
Minting creates new tokens and adds them to your token's total supply. This can only be done if the token has an active mint authority.
By default, newly minted tokens are sent to your connected wallet. You can also specify a different recipient address, such as a treasury or partner wallet.
💡 Test on Devnet First
Switch to Devnet mode to safely test the minting process before using real funds on Mainnet. Note: You'll need to create a Devnet version of your token—Mainnet tokens don't exist on Devnet.
Important Notes
- Only tokens with active mint authority can be minted
- Minting increases the total circulating supply
- Transaction fees are paid in SOL
- Some tokens may have maximum supply limits
- Non-custodial: your keys never leave your wallet

Frequently Asked Questions
What is Solana token minting?
Token minting is the process of creating new tokens and adding them to the existing total supply of a cryptocurrency.
This tool allows the wallet holding the mint authority to generate additional tokens after the initial token creation. The newly minted tokens increase the total circulating supply.
Who can mint additional tokens?
Only the wallet that holds the Mint Authority for a specific token can mint more of it.
If you revoked or transferred the mint authority after creating your token, you will no longer be able to increase its supply.
Can I test minting on Devnet first?
Yes. You can switch to Devnet mode to test the minting process safely before using real funds.
Important: Devnet is a separate test environment with no real financial value—you must create a Devnet version of your token to test with. Mainnet tokens do not exist on Devnet. After testing, switch back to Mainnet to mint real tokens.
Why would I need to mint more tokens?
There are several practical reasons to increase your token supply:
- Staking Rewards: Distributing rewards to users who stake your token.
- Community Airdrops: Running promotional events or rewarding loyal community members.
- Expanding Supply: Gradually increasing supply as your project grows and gains more users.
- Treasury Management: Adding funds to your project treasury for development or marketing.
Tip: Always communicate supply changes transparently to your community. Unexpected minting can damage trust and affect token value.
Where are newly minted tokens sent?
By default, newly minted tokens are sent to your connected wallet (the minter's wallet).
However, you can specify a different recipient address in the optional field—for example, a treasury wallet, a staking contract, or a partner's address.
What are the fees to mint tokens?
DEXArea charges a platform fee of 0.06 SOL per minting transaction, in addition to standard Solana network fees (which are typically very low).
Is there a limit to how many tokens can be minted?
DEXArea does not impose any minting limit. However, two factors can restrict how much you can mint:
- Token Program Limits: The Solana token program has a technical maximum supply limit of 2^64 - 1 raw units.
- Custom Limits: Some tokens may have been created with a hard-coded maximum supply, though this is uncommon for standard SPL tokens.
What is the maximum supply for each decimal setting?
The maximum supply depends on your token's decimal setting. Here are the limits for reference:
- 9 decimals: Max ~18.4 billion tokens (common: 1 billion)
- 8 decimals: Max ~184 billion tokens (common: 10 billion)
- 7 decimals: Max ~1.8 trillion tokens (common: 100 billion)
- 6 decimals: Max ~18.4 trillion tokens (common: 1 trillion)
- 5 decimals: Max ~184 trillion tokens (common: 10 trillion)
- 4 decimals: Max ~1.8 quadrillion tokens (common: 100 trillion)
- 3 decimals: Max ~18.4 quadrillion tokens (common: 1 quadrillion)
- 2 decimals: Max ~184 quadrillion tokens (common: 10 quadrillion)
- 1 decimal: Max ~1.8 quintillion tokens (common: 100 quadrillion)
- 0 decimals: Max ~18.4 quintillion whole tokens (common: 1 quintillion)
Technically, the upper bound is 2^64 − 1 raw units, which is then split according to the decimal setting.
Can I mint tokens if I revoked the mint authority?
No. Revoking the mint authority is permanent and irreversible. Once revoked, the total supply becomes fixed and no new tokens can ever be created.
Many projects intentionally revoke mint authority to build community trust by proving the supply cannot be inflated.
How is minting different from creating a new token?
Creating a token is the initial process of launching a brand new cryptocurrency on Solana with its own name, symbol, and starting supply.
Minting is the act of adding to the supply of an existing token. You can only mint more of a token you already have mint authority over.
Does this tool work for both SPL and Token-2022?
Yes. This minting tool is fully compatible with both standard SPL (Solana Program Library) tokens and the newer Token-2022 standard. As long as your wallet holds the mint authority, you can increase the supply of either token type.
Is the minting process secure?
Yes. DEXArea is completely non-custodial—we never have access to your private keys or funds. All transactions are signed and approved directly in your own wallet (such as Phantom or Solflare).
Our platform simply provides a user-friendly interface for interacting with the Solana blockchain. Your assets remain under your full control at all times.

Learn how to increase your token supply step by step. This guide covers wallet connection, token selection, and transaction confirmation for both SPL and Token-2022 tokens.
What Does This Minting Tool Do?
DEXArea's Token Minting Tool lets you increase your token's total supply with a simple, no-code interface. Whether you need to distribute staking rewards, run an airdrop campaign, or expand your treasury, this tool makes the process fast and straightforward.
DEXArea is a Solana token toolkit used by thousands of creators to manage SPL and Token-2022 tokens.
The tool supports both SPL tokens and Token-2022 tokens, giving you full control over how many tokens to mint and where to send them.
When Should You Mint More Tokens?
Staking rewards: Mint tokens to reward users who stake with your protocol.
Airdrops and promotions: Distribute tokens to community members, early supporters, or marketing partners.
Treasury and operations: Add to your project treasury for development, marketing, or liquidity provisions.
Growth and scaling: Increase supply as your project gains traction and requires more tokens in circulation.
Best practice: Always communicate supply changes transparently to your community. Unexpected minting can erode trust and negatively impact token value.
How to Mint Tokens (Step by Step)
1. Connect your wallet — Use a wallet that holds the mint authority for your token (e.g., Phantom, Solflare).
2. Select your token — Choose the token you want to mint more of from your wallet's list.
3. Enter the amount — Specify how many tokens to create. The amount is in whole tokens (decimals are handled automatically).
4. Set the recipient (optional) — By default, tokens go to your connected wallet. You can specify a different address if needed.
5. Confirm and sign — Review the transaction details and approve it in your wallet.
After minting, you might also want to burn tokens to reduce supply, send tokens to multiple addresses, or take a snapshot of token holders. Need to create a brand new token? Use our Solana token creator.
