Create a BNB Chain Token (BEP-20)
A complete guide to creating your own BEP-20 token on BNB Chain. Learn about costs, gas fees, common mistakes to avoid, and how to get your contract verified on BscScan.

BNB Chain (formerly Binance Smart Chain) is one of the most popular blockchains for token creation. Here's why developers and projects choose it:
Low Gas Fees
Deployment costs under $0.30 in gas, compared to $10–100+ on Ethereum mainnet. This makes BNB Chain ideal for testing and launching with minimal upfront cost.
Fast Block Times
BNB Chain produces blocks every ~3 seconds, meaning your token is live almost instantly after you confirm the transaction.
Large User Base
BNB Chain has millions of active wallets and deep liquidity on PancakeSwap, making it easier to bootstrap a community and trading activity.
EVM Compatible
BNB Chain is fully compatible with Ethereum tools — MetaMask, Hardhat, Remix, and all Solidity development tools work seamlessly.
Costs Breakdown
Creating a token on BNB Chain involves two costs: the platform deployment fee and the network gas fee.
Basic Package (deployment fee)
Name, symbol, supply, decimals, verified code, renounce option
0.05 BNB
~$30
Standard Package (deployment fee)
Basic + burn, mint, pause, blacklist
0.075 BNB
~$45
Premium Package (deployment fee)
Standard + buy/sell tax, anti-whale, max tx, auto liquidity
0.10 BNB
~$60
Network gas fee
Paid to BNB Chain validators, varies with network load
~0.001 BNB
~$0.10–0.30
Common Mistakes to Avoid
Not enough BNB for gas
Always keep extra BNB in your wallet beyond the deployment fee. If you run out of gas mid-transaction, it will fail and you'll lose the gas fee.
Wrong network in wallet
Make sure your wallet is connected to BNB Chain mainnet (chain ID: 56), not BSC Testnet or Ethereum. Our tool will prompt you to switch if needed.
Setting supply too low or too high
A supply of 1 million to 1 billion is typical. Very low supplies (100) make it hard to distribute tokens. Very high supplies (1 quadrillion) can look suspicious.
Enabling features you don't need
Features like tax, blacklist, and anti-whale add complexity. If you don't need them, stick with the Basic package for maximum simplicity and trust.
Not verifying the contract
Unverified contracts are a major red flag. TokenGeneratorApp auto-verifies all deployments, but if you deploy manually, always verify your source code on BscScan.
Frequently Asked Questions
The entire process takes about 2 minutes. You configure your token settings (name, symbol, supply), click deploy, confirm the transaction in your wallet, and your token is live on BNB Chain in approximately 3 seconds (one block confirmation).
You need an EVM-compatible wallet like MetaMask, Trust Wallet, or any WalletConnect-supported wallet. Make sure BNB Chain (chain ID: 56) is added to your wallet. MetaMask users can add it from chainlist.org.
You need approximately 0.06 BNB total: 0.05 BNB for the deployment fee plus ~0.001 BNB for gas. We recommend having at least 0.07 BNB to be safe. At current prices, this is roughly $35–40 USD.
The core properties (name, symbol, decimals, initial supply) are immutable after deployment. However, if you enabled optional features like mint or burn, you can use those functions as the contract owner. You can also renounce ownership to make the token completely immutable.
You can purchase BNB on centralized exchanges like Binance, Coinbase, or KuCoin, then transfer it to your wallet. Alternatively, you can use on-ramp services like MoonPay or Transak that allow credit card purchases directly to your wallet.
Token deployment does not automatically list your token on aggregator sites. You would need to apply separately to CoinMarketCap and CoinGecko after your token has some trading activity and liquidity. Both have application forms on their websites.
If your deployment transaction fails, you only lose the gas fee (typically less than $0.10). The deployment fee is included in the transaction value, so it is only charged if the deployment succeeds. You can simply try again.
Yes. There is no limit on how many tokens you can create. Each deployment is independent and creates a new contract. You can create tokens with different names, symbols, and configurations.
