# Solana Token2022 Creator Guide

## Prerequisites 

* Before creating tokens, be sure to install the Phantom Wallet Chrome extension
* Ensure your wallet has at least **0.13 SOL** available.
* Please use Phantom Wallet or OKX Web3 Wallet on your mobile phone

## **Understanding Token2022 on Solana**

**1. What is Token2022?**

Token2022 is Solana's next-generation token standard that supports **advanced functionalities like transfer fees**. Unlike basic SPL-Token (used for meme coins without programmable features), Token2022 enables developers to build tokens with customizable logic. The transfer fee capability is why it's informally called a "tax token" in Chinese communities.

**2. How Transfer Fees Work**

When a Token2022 transfer occurs:

* A **fee** (in the created token) is charged per transaction
* Fees accumulate in a dedicated on-chain pool
* **Manual claiming is required** by the designated fee-collecting wallet\
  \&#xNAN;*Fee Claim Portal:* [*https://solana.pandatool.org/en/taxClaim*](https://solana.pandatool.org/en/taxClaim)

> Key difference vs BSC: Fees aren’t distributed automatically.

**3. Beyond Transfer Fees**

Token2022 supports multiple extensions:

* Transfer fees (currently live on PandaTool)
* Confidential transfers
* Non-transferable tokens
* Burning mechanics
* Transfer hooks\
  \&#xNAN;*More features coming based on user demand*

| Parameter            | Description                     | Example      |
| -------------------- | ------------------------------- | ------------ |
| **Name**             | Full name (English/Chinese)     | PandaToken   |
| **Symbol**           | Trading ticker (3-5 chars)      | PANDA        |
| **Decimals**         | Token divisibility (default:9)  | 9            |
| **Supply**           | Max supply (≤10B at decimals=9) | 100,000,000  |
| **Tax Percent (%)**  | Fee per transaction (0-100)     | 10%          |
| **Maximum Fee**      | Cap per transaction             | 1000 PANDA   |
| **Admin Address**    | Controls mint/freeze            | Your address |
| **Transfer Address** | Receives accumulated fees       | Your address |
| **Logo**             | 256x256px (<1MB)                | \[Upload]    |

\*Fee logic: Transferring 1,000 PANDA at 10% fee = 100 PANDA fee (capped at Max Fee)\*
