TradePesa just launched its biggest feature yet: token creators can now list their live token as a genuine, permanent asset on the Solana blockchain — one of the world's most widely used public blockchains.
What does "listing on Solana" actually mean?
When you create a token on TradePesa, it already trades for real money right here on the platform — that part hasn't changed. The new feature lets you optionally mint a real copy of your token as an SPL token on Solana, so it exists permanently and publicly, verifiable by anyone on Solana Explorer, independent of TradePesa itself.
How it works
- Available for live tokens only, directly from your token's page or the Trade Practice screen
- Pay a one-time fee via M-Pesa — no crypto wallet or technical knowledge required
- Everything happens automatically: once payment confirms, your token mints on-chain within moments
- Track the mint address, transaction, and status anytime from your "My Blockchain Listings" page
What it's for — and what it isn't
This is a verification feature, not a new trading venue. Listing on Solana proves your token is a real, permanent on-chain asset, but it doesn't automatically create a market for it — trading still happens on TradePesa exactly as before. If you're interested in making a specific token genuinely tradeable on Solana, our team is happy to talk — reach out and we'll evaluate it directly with you.
Why this matters for token creators
- A permanent, independently verifiable record of your token's existence — not tied to any single platform
- Credibility: anyone can look up your token on the real Solana blockchain, not just on TradePesa
- Still entirely optional — your token keeps trading normally on TradePesa whether you use this or not
Real blockchain listing joins TradePesa's existing lineup of practice trading, live M-Pesa-powered markets, and community features — all built for Africa, by Africans. Visit trade-pesa.com to create your first token or list an existing one on Solana today.
