With the rise of coins like Dogecoin and Shiba Inu, these tokens have captivated the imaginations of investors and enthusiasts alike. As the blockchain ecosystem continues to expand, Solana stands out as a powerful platform for creating and managing these digital assets. Known for its high-speed transactions and low fees, Solana offers the perfect environment to launch your very own meme coin. Whether you’re looking to create the next viral sensation or simply explore the innovative world of blockchain technology, this guide will walk you through the process of creating a Solana meme coin.
Accessories
Logo
Your logo will be the visual representation of your coin across various platforms, showcasing authenticity and personality in the memecoin space.
Canva and Photoshop are useful platforms to bring your vision to life. Canva provides an intuitive interface with a wide array of templates, graphics, and fonts, making it ideal for beginners and seasoned designers alike. On the other hand, Photoshop offers unparalleled flexibility and creative control, allowing you to fine-tune every aspect of your design.
When creating your logo, consider elements that reflect the essence of your meme coin. Whether it’s a playful character, a striking symbol, or a popular meme, your logo should resonate with your target audience.

Portal
Writing the word “portal” under your logo displays the group’s function as a gateway or entry point to your coin’s Telegram group. This addition serves as a visual identifier for users navigating through the platform, helping them quickly recognize and locate the community or channel they are interested in joining or engaging with.
New Buy
Designing a “new buy” logo for Telegram is an option to keep investors informed and engaged in real-time. When there’s a new purchase for your coin, this logo serves as an instant alert, prompting attention and potential action from your community members. Adding the words “new buy” under your original logo effectively communicates this message.
Banner
Twitter stands out as one of the most effective platforms for marketing meme coins due to its dynamic and fast-paced nature. With its vast reach and highly engaged user base, Twitter provides an ideal space to showcase your meme coin and connect with potential investors. A captivating banner tailored specifically for Twitter not only enhances the visual appeal of your coin but also reinforces its brand identity.
Website
The website serves as a central hub for individuals interested in learning more about your Coin, its unique features, and how to get involved. A simple website can be created on Wix and should cost around $30.
The website features a user-friendly interface designed to streamline the process of purchasing your meme coin. A “Buy Now” button directs visitors to the platform where they can acquire the coin with ease, facilitating seamless transactions for both new and experienced investors.
The website should also provide valuable resources for users to track the performance of the coin. A dedicated “DEX Screener” button grants access to real-time charts and analytics, allowing investors to monitor market trends and make informed decisions.
To foster communication and community engagement, add direct links to the project’s Telegram group and Twitter account as well.
Telegram
To create a Telegram group for your meme coin community, start by opening the Telegram app and tapping on the three horizontal lines in the top left corner. From there, select “New Group” and choose a name for your group and your logo. Once created, add at least one member to the group, but you can always add more later.
Next, customize the group settings by tapping on the group name at the top of the screen. Here, you can set the group type to either “Public” or “Private” and customize other settings such as message permissions and member management. To ensure security within the group, set up a safeguard bot. Add the safeguard bot to your group by searching for it within the Telegram app and following the instructions to add it to your group.
Configure the bot’s settings to your preferences, including setting up filters for spam, links, and keywords commonly associated with scams. With these steps, you can create a secure and engaging Telegram group for your community.
Essentials
Wallet
Next, you need to choose a Solana wallet in order to fund your token and provide liquidity. Start by choosing a wallet like Phantom, Sollet, or Solflare. For simplicity, we’ll use Phantom. Download the Phantom extension from its website, install it, and create a new wallet, securely storing your secret recovery phrase.
Set a strong password for added security. Next, fund your wallet by purchasing SOL from an exchange (e.g., Binance, Coinbase) and transferring it to your Phantom wallet address.
Create Your Token
Creating your Solana meme coin using Oriontools.io involves a few straightforward steps. First, you need to choose and connect your Solana wallet. For this guide, we’ll use Phantom due to its user-friendly interface. The SOL we funded our wallet with will be used for transaction fees.
Once your wallet is set up and funded, visit Oriontools.io and locate the option to connect your wallet. Click on it and choose Phantom (or your preferred wallet), then follow the prompts to connect your wallet securely. Your wallet will now be able to interact with the Oriontools platform. With your wallet connected, navigate to the token creation section on the site. Enter the metadata for your meme coin: choose a unique and catchy name like “DogeCoin2.0,” select a memorable symbol such as “DOGE2,” and write a fun and engaging description of your meme coin. This could include its purpose, community vision, or a humorous backstory. Upload your logo that represents your meme coin. You will also need to configure additional settings such as total supply and decimals to match your vision for the coin. For the decimals it is recommended to choose 9 and a large supply.
To facilitate the trading of your coin, it’s essential to manage certain permissions associated with the token. Firstly, you need to revoke the freeze authority. The freeze authority allows the token issuer to freeze the token’s transfers, which might be useful during development or testing but should be disabled before adding liquidity to the token. By revoking the freeze authority, you ensure that the token can be freely traded on decentralized exchanges (DEXs) like Raydium or Serum.
In addition to enabling trading, ensuring the authenticity and credibility of your meme coin is crucial. This can be achieved by revoking the mint authority. The mint authority allows the token issuer to create additional tokens, which is useful during the initial distribution phase. However, to establish trust and signify that the total supply of your token is finite and fixed, you should revoke the mint authority. This means no more tokens can be created beyond the initial supply, preventing inflation and instilling confidence in potential investors and holders that the token’s supply will remain constant.
After entering all the necessary information, double-check everything to ensure accuracy. Confirm the details and proceed to the next step, where you will need to approve the transaction in your wallet to pay the necessary fees for creating the token. These fees, paid in SOL, will be deducted from your wallet balance. Once the transaction is confirmed, your meme coin will be created and deployed on the Solana blockchain. You will receive a confirmation and can see your token listed in your wallet.
Create Market
One of the more important components of creating your token is allowing it to be traded. We can do this by visiting https://raydium.io/create-market/ in order to create a market for the token. Connect your wallet to this website again. Next, we will need to input our token as the base token. To get the address for our token, go to the phantom wallet, click on your recently created token, click on “more” and the 3 dots, and click “copy token address” (if this option is not displayed click on “view on solscan”, and copy the “SPL Token Address”). Paste this address into the “Base token” input, use the same symbol for your token (e.g. DOGE2), and input the token name. Ensure the coin and supply are correct and click on your token. For the “quote token” option this will be the coin you want buyers to use to swap to buy your meme token, we will use SOL for this.
For the final 2 inputs, we will need to add a tick size and minimum order size. The tick size is the smallest amount by which prices can move while the minimum order size is the smallest increment of that token you can purchase. For tokens with a smaller supply like Bitcoin, you will have a larger tick size and a smaller minimum order size because you can buy a fraction of a Bitcoin and only larger purchases move the price. However, with tokens with a larger supply like meme coins, you will have a larger minimum order size and a smaller tick size because each coin will be exponentially cheaper than 1 singular Bitcoin. If you need help selecting your inputs, visit https://docs.raydium.io/raydium/pool-creation/creating-a-standard-amm-pool for both inputs.
For a token with a supply of 50 million we can input 10 as our minimum order size and 0.0000001 as the tick size. Once all areas are filled out, click “create market” and confirm the transaction. When completed, you will be given a marker ID, DO NOT LOSE THIS!
Create Liquidity
Finally, we want to provide liquidity to our token. From the liquidity tab, https://raydium.io/liquidity/add/ we want to scroll to the bottom and click “create pool.” Next, we want to input our openbook marker id from the previous step. Confirm and move to the next step which is to select a price for the token. From here we will pair up our 2 tokens, the meme token, and Solana in this case. Depending on how much funds you can add as liquidity will determine your input. If you have a larger amount of funds, you can select a higher amount of your meme token supply. Meaning if you can only provide 1 SOL as liquidity and select the maximum amount of tokens, a person can buy the entire supply of your token for 1 SOL. Once this is complete, “initialize liquidity pool”, confirm your transaction, and you are all done. You have successfully created a meme coin.
