⁉️Solana Token Creation FAQ

Frequently asked questions about Solana token creation on DexLab Minting Lab: fees, mint and freeze authority, metadata, LP lock, and OpenBook market IDs.

⁉️ Minting Lab FAQ

Q: What is the difference between the Dexlab pool and others?

🔹 A: Firstly, every AMM has a different structure. Some AMMs (including Dexlab) do not use orderbook so do not require a market ID. On the other hand, in the case of Radium, a market ID is required because it is an order book-based MM.

Q: Why there is a difference in transaction fees even though it is the same transaction?

🔹 A: Transaction size varies slightly depending on option selection when issuing tokens. You can think of the larger the amount of tokens as the higher the fee.

Q: Why token distribution function transaction fee is high?

🔹 A: That function allows token transfer to be performed at once. Therefore, if the transaction is distributed to 4 wallets, the fee is high because the 4 transfer fees are shown combined.

Q: How to burn LP?

🔹 A: Minted token burning and LP token burning are the same thing. The side effects of LP burning may vary for each pool, so it is not recommended to burn it at any time. Check out the tutorial before using burn.

Q: Why I cannot use the Mint function?

🔹 A: If the token mint authority is disabled (revoked), no additional supply can be minted.

Q: Why I cannot change authority?

🔹 A: If you fixed the supply already, changing authority cannot be done.

Q: Why I cannot update metadata?

🔹 A: If the mutable is disabled, the token Metadata cannot be updated anymore.

Q: What is freeze authority?

🔹 A: Freeze authority is the permission to freeze or thaw individual token accounts, blocking or restoring transfers for those wallets. Minting Lab's default is freeze authority off. If you enable it, you can later transfer or permanently revoke it from the Manage tab.

Q: What happens when I fix the supply?

🔹 A: It is giving up the management rights for tokens. So adding supply or changing the authority should be done before fixing supply. After fixing the supply, you only can burn or update the metadata of the token.

Q: Where can I see if a token has been minted through Minting Lab?

🔹 A: Two ways. In the DexLab app, tokens created through Minting Lab carry a Minted on DexLab badge in Explore search results and New Listings. On-chain: go to Solscan, search the token mint address, press the 'Metadata' tab, then 'View URI Metadata' — tokens minted through Minting Lab carry the creator stamp "creator": { "name": "DEXLAB MINTING LAB" } (the same stamp $BONK carries).

Q: How do I create Token 2022?

🔹 A: Minting Lab supports both the SPL token and Token 2022 generation. Please check the tutorial

Q: How much is the Minting Lab fee?

🔹 A: Creating a token costs a 0.15 $SOL creation fee plus about 0.02 $SOL of Solana network rent, and the exact total is shown before you sign. Creating an OpenBook market ID costs about 3 $SOL with the default OpenBook and Raydium account sizes, or about 0.55 $SOL with the Only Raydium preset, and most of that is Solana network rent (the event queue alone is about 1.83 $SOL) that is not recoverable because created markets cannot be canceled or refunded. A DexLab pool does not need a market ID; only orderbook listings and Raydium legacy AMM pools require one. See the full list in Solana Token Creation Fees and the live cost page.

There is a benefit when the condition is met for a total of 10 SOL, including 0.15 SOL. Check out the Dexlab grant program.

Q: How do I revoke authority?

🔹 A: Open your token's Manage tab in Explore or My Tokens, choose Update Mint Authority (or Update Freeze Authority / Update Metadata Authority), check the Remove box, and approve the transaction. Revoking an authority is permanent, so mint any additional supply before you revoke mint authority. Full steps: Manage a Solana Token.

Q. How does the Dexlab Pool LP lock work?

🔹 A: ‘LP lock’ permanently locks the LP token created on the Pool supply. It is sending LP tokens to the PDA under the Pool contract. Dexlab also cannot access it. This permanently locks your authority to the liquidity you provided, and cannot be reversed after execution.

Q: How do I send a Solana token to many wallets at once (airdrop)?

🔹 A: Use Multisender in the DexLab app. It sends a token to a list of wallets in batched transactions that your wallet signs. As of 2026-09, the service fee is first 20 recipients free, then 0.001 SOL each, never more than 0.3 SOL per batch, and there is no service fee on devnet. See Solana Multisender for the file format and a worked cost table.

⁉️ Openbook FAQ

Q: How do I determine the mim order size and prize tick?

🔹 A: There are no recommended values. Please refer to the tutorial

Q: What is the difference between advanced options in creating market ID? Why the fee is different?

🔹 A: The basic setting(Openbook + Raydium) is to guarantee no error on the transaction. If you adjust the advanced option (Only Raydium option), there may be problems with transaction errors occurring. The Openbook market ID creation is based on Openbook Service, and Dexlab Token Factory is only supporting the user-familiar market ID creation UI. So if you want to adjust the advanced options, please ask Openbook Discord for further explanation.

Q: What are base tokens and quote tokens?

🔹 A: Base token mint address = your token mint address, quote token mint address = mint address of the token that you want to make a pair with your token. Before creating a market ID, please refer to the tutorial

Q: What is the quote token mint address?

🔹 A:

USDC: EPjFWdd5AufqSSqeM2qN1xzybapC8G4wEGGkZwyTDt1v

USDT: Es9vMFrzaCERmJfrF4H2FYD4KCoNkY11McCe8BenwNYB

Wrapped SOL: So11111111111111111111111111111111111111112

Q: What is the recommended value for minimum order size and price tick?

🔹 A: There is no answer. It is solely up to the decision of the token minter, we do not provide a fair value.
