How to Use Nebula Launch
Complete guide to creating your Solana SPL token
Prerequisites
Solana Wallet
You need a Solana wallet browser extension installed. We support:
- Phantom (Recommended)
SOL Balance
Ensure you have sufficient SOL in your wallet:
- Basic token creation: 0.3 SOL
- With creator information: 0.4 SOL
- Network fees: ~0.01 SOL additional
💡 Note: We're currently on Devnet for testing. Get free Devnet SOL from faucet.solana.com
Step 1: Connect Your Wallet
Click the "Connect Wallet" button and select your preferred wallet. Ensure your wallet is set to the correct network (Devnet for testing).
⚠️ Security: Never share your private key or seed phrase. Nebula Launch will never ask for this information.
Step 2: Fill in Token Details
Required Information
- Token Name: Full name of your token (max 32 characters)
- Token Symbol: Ticker symbol (max 10 characters)
- Token Image: JPG, PNG, or GIF file (max 5MB)
- Decimals: Number of decimal places (0-18, default: 9)
- Mint Amount: Total supply of tokens to create
Optional Information
- Description: Brief description of your token (max 200 characters)
- Website: Your project website (must be full URL: https://example.com)
- Twitter: Twitter profile (must be full URL: https://twitter.com/handle)
- Telegram: Telegram group/channel (must be full URL: https://t.me/handle)
⚠️ Important: Social media links must be complete URLs starting with https://. Handles like @username will not work.
Step 3: Configure Authority Settings
Choose which authorities to revoke. These actions are permanent and irreversible:
🚫 Revoke Mint Authority
Prevents anyone (including you) from creating more tokens. This makes your token have a fixed, permanent supply.
❄️ Revoke Freeze Authority
Removes the ability to freeze token accounts. This ensures tokens remain liquid and tradeable forever.
📝 Revoke Update Authority
Makes token metadata immutable. No one can change the name, symbol, description, or image after creation.
Step 4: Creator Information (Optional)
For an additional 0.1 SOL, you can customize the creator information in your token's metadata:
- Custom creator name instead of "Nebula Launch"
- Your own website link in the creator field
- Professional branding for your token
If not enabled, the creator will default to "Nebula Launch" with our website.
Step 5: Review and Pay

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What's the difference between mainnet and devnet?
Devnet is for testing and development. Devnet SOL has no real value. Mainnet is the live network where real transactions occur. We'll launch mainnet support soon.
Q: Can I modify my token after creation?
Only if you don't revoke the update authority. If you revoke it, the token metadata becomes permanently immutable.
Q: Can I create more tokens later?
Only if you don't revoke the mint authority. If you revoke it, no additional tokens can ever be created - the supply becomes fixed.
Q: How do I get my token listed on exchanges?
After creation, you can add liquidity on decentralized exchanges (DEXs) like Raydium or Orca using your mint address. This makes your token tradeable.
Q: What happens if I lose access to my wallet?
You'll lose access to your tokens and any authorities you didn't revoke. Always securely backup your wallet's seed phrase.
