⁉️Solana Token Creation Fees (Factory Fee)

How much it costs to create a Solana token on DexLab: 0.15 SOL creation fee plus about 0.02 SOL network rent, with token management, OpenBook market, pool, and Multisender fees listed.

Token creation

As of 2026-09, creating a token in the DexLab Minting Lab costs a 0.15 $SOL creation fee, plus about 0.02 $SOL of Solana network rent for the new token accounts. 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.

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.

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 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.

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 for the per-tier breakdown.

Multisender

As of 2026-09, sending a token to many wallets through 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 for the recipient file format and a worked cost table.
