HOW TO GET A SNAPSHOT OF TOKEN HOLDERS IN UNDER 1 MINUTE
If you have a token project on Solana and want to run a snapshot of token holders, meaning you want to see how many holders your project has and exactly how many wallets hold any amount of your token on Solana, this post is for you. We’ll show you how to do it in under 1 minute in the simplest way possible, and of course you can complete the whole process without coding.

Before we start the step-by-step tutorial, let’s quickly cover what a snapshot of token holders actually is and what you can use it for. If you prefer the video version, here it is:
WHAT IS A SNAPSHOT OF TOKEN HOLDERS?
When we talk about a snapshot of token holders, as the name suggests, it is a “snapshot” of the wallets holding a certain amount of a specific token. In other words, a snapshot of Solana token holders is a list of wallets currently holding a certain amount of that same token.
This lets us build different solutions and utilities, which we’ll cover next.
WHAT DATA DOES A SNAPSHOT OF SOLANA TOKEN HOLDERS GIVE US?
When you run a snapshot, you’ll get the list of wallets holding a Solana token, which you can copy or export as a CSV to make analysis and follow-up much easier.
MOST COMMON USES FOR A SNAPSHOT SPL TOKEN
When we talk about snapshots, most people immediately think of running an airdrop. And honestly, that is the most common use case: creating a snapshot so you can later reward your holders with an airdrop, whether through revenue sharing, distributing more tokens, or sending NFTs.
It is also common to run a snapshot to grant access to a presale or whitelist.
Let’s get straight to it: we’ll walk through the tutorial step by step to create a snapshot of Solana token holders.

HOW TO CREATE SNAPSHOT SPL TOKEN HOLDERS
Let’s get straight into the step-by-step process to create a Solana token holder snapshot without coding. We’ll use our dApp tool called “Snapshot Token Holders”, where you’ll see this dashboard:
- Go to Snapshot Token Holders on Smithii’s Tools (https://tools.smithii.io/snapshot-token/solana)
- Connect your wallet so you can use the software
- Select the Token from the tool’s “Select Token” search bar
- Click Take Snapshot and confirm the transaction (0.1 SOL)
- Wait a few seconds.
You’ll get a full list of every wallet holding the selected Solana Token, ready to copy or export as a CSV.
Once that’s done, you can run an airdrop for token holders, or use the collected data for any other move that helps grow your project.
