The exact total is shown above the create button before you sign, so there are no hidden costs. The fee is the same for standard SPL tokens and Token-2022 tokens. 👉 See the live cost breakdown: \ 👉 Create a token: ## Managing a token after creation Creation is not the only action the Token Factory charges for. Managing a token you already own costs a smaller fee per action, on top of the Solana network fee. Each amount is shown before you sign. The Manage tab opens only for tokens created with the current Minting Lab, and those tokens pay **half** the on-chain rate. That halved figure is the one you will actually be charged, so it is the one listed below. Figures as of 2026-09. | Action | Billed as | Fee | | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | -------------------- | ---------- | | Update token metadata (name, symbol, image, description, links) | updateTokenMetadata | 0.05 $SOL | | Change a Token-2022 transfer fee, interest-bearing rate, or default account state | updateTokenMetadata | 0.05 $SOL | | Mint more supply | mintToken | 0.025 $SOL | | Freeze or thaw a token account | mintToken | 0.025 $SOL | | Burn supply | burnToken | 0.025 $SOL | | Revoke mint or freeze authority | updateTokenAuthority | 0.025 $SOL | | Revoke metadata update authority | updateTokenAuthority | 0.025 $SOL | | Change or revoke a Token-2022 permanent delegate | updateTokenAuthority | 0.025 $SOL | The middle column is the on-chain fee instruction each action bills through. Actions that share an instruction always cost the same amount, so the Token-2022 attribute changes cost the same as a plain metadata edit rather than less. Every figure above was read from the Minting Lab fee configuration account on Solana mainnet on 2026-09-08 (program `EeHfbcv8g1qE4wdWF3gWNrzYia3jYJngR44Fuijd5CiJ`, config PDA `AjFK8n9rcbx9s1PMhpe7x2C7rjctEAj2ahKaBfMRVefc`): createToken 0.15 SOL, updateTokenMetadata 0.1 SOL, and mintToken, burnToken, and updateTokenAuthority 0.05 SOL each, halved for Minting Lab tokens. Read the config account again before changing any number here; never copy one off a rendered page. These are one-off fees per action, not subscriptions, and revoking an authority is permanent. See [Manage your token](/products/minting-lab/manage-token-burn-mint-revoke-freeze-revoke-mint.md). ## OpenBook market ID A DexLab pool does not need an OpenBook market ID. You only need one for an orderbook listing or a Raydium legacy AMM pool. Creating a market ID through the [DexLab market creation tool](https://openbook-tools.dexlab.space/market/create) costs **about 3 $SOL** with the default OpenBook and Raydium account sizes. The **Only Raydium** preset uses a much smaller event queue and orderbook, which brings the estimate down to **about 0.55 $SOL**, but that preset is intended for Raydium pool creation only and operation on OpenBook itself is not guaranteed. Most of that amount is Solana network rent for the market accounts rather than a DexLab fee, and **it is not recoverable**, because a created market cannot be canceled or refunded. With the default sizes the estimate breaks down as follows. | Account | Size | Rent | | ------------------- | ----------------- | ---------------- | | Market | 388 bytes | 0.0036 $SOL | | Event queue | 262,108 bytes | 1.8252 $SOL | | Request queue | 5,084 bytes | 0.0363 $SOL | | Bids and asks | 65,500 bytes each | 0.9135 $SOL | | Vault accounts | 2 accounts | 0.0041 $SOL | | DexLab platform fee | | 0.2200 $SOL | | **Total** | | **about 3 $SOL** | The event queue alone is more than half of the total. The tool shows a live **Total Rent + Fee Estimate** before you sign, so read that number at the moment you sign. The estimate is read from the Solana cluster, so the tool shows **Calculating...** until every rent lookup has answered rather than a partial total, and it refuses the signature until the estimate resolves. Fund your wallet above the estimate: if your balance falls short, the transaction can fail and still cost you a fee. Rehearse on devnet first. See [Create an OpenBook Market ID for a Raydium Pool: Step-by-Step Setup](/products/minting-lab/create-openbook-market-id.md). ## Liquidity pool creation DexLab charges **no flat fee** for creating a liquidity pool. You pay Solana network rent for the new pool accounts plus your own initial liquidity deposit. Traders who swap in your pool pay the fee tier you selected (0.1, 0.2, 0.5, 1, or 2 percent) **plus an owner trade fee charged on top of it**, so the total per swap runs from 0.15 percent to 2.2 percent. Only the tier itself goes to the pool. See [Make Your Solana Token Tradable: Set Up a Liquidity Pool and Earn Swap Fees](/products/dex-swap-lp-pool/create-your-own-liquidity-pool-easy-and-fast.md) for the per-tier breakdown. ## Multisender As of 2026-09, sending a token to many wallets through [Multisender](https://app.dexlab.space/multisender) has a service fee of **first 20 recipients free, then 0.001 SOL each, never more than 0.3 SOL per batch**. Solana network fees and rent for new recipient token accounts are paid to the network on top. There is no service fee on devnet. See [Solana Multisender](/products/minting-lab/multisender.md) for the recipient file format and a worked cost table. --- # Agent Instructions This documentation is published with GitBook.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter: ``` GET https://docs.dexlab.space/products/minting-lab/factory-fee.md?ask=&goal= ``` `ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language. `goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal. The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation. Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
