Questions

How much does it cost to create a memecoin on Solana?

The base fee on SPL Token Launcher is 0.1 SOL. Each safety option (remove freeze authority, remove mint authority, lock metadata) adds 0.1 SOL, so the default with all three is 0.4 SOL, plus about 0.02 SOL in Solana network costs.

How do I make my memecoin tradeable?

After creating your memecoin, add liquidity on Raydium via spltokenlauncher.pro/liquidity. Pair it with SOL, and it becomes tradeable on all Solana DEXes including Jupiter.

Should I remove authorities for a memecoin?

Yes. Removing mint authority, freeze authority, and locking metadata (0.4 SOL with all three) shows buyers the supply and details can't change later. Token checkers flag tokens that keep these authorities.
