How to Choose the Right Supply for a Solana Token

You are about to mint a Solana token and the supply field asks for a number. Pick wrong and your token price looks like $0.0000001 forever, or worse, your unit economics break at DEX aggregators.

Key facts

  • Decide target market cap at launch (e.g.
  • Decide initial LP depth in SOL and quote-side value in USD.
  • Compute per-token price = initial LP quote value / (initial LP base tokens).

Step-by-step

  1. Decide target market cap at launch (e.g. $10k, $100k, $1M).
  2. Decide initial LP depth in SOL and quote-side value in USD.
  3. Compute per-token price = initial LP quote value / (initial LP base tokens).
  4. Pick supply so per-token price is human-readable ($0.0001–$1 range for meme coins).
  5. Set decimals — 6 is standard, 9 for divisibility, 0 for whole-unit tokens.
  6. Mint on MakeMeACoin for free and verify the display on Solscan and DEX Screener before adding LP.
