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
Gas is paid in BNB and is additional to the platform fee. Compare current wallet estimates because deployment costs depend on network conditions and contract features.
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 platform fee
Fixed initial supply, name, symbol, decimals and initial owner.

Standard platform fee
Optional supply, ownership, address access and transfer controls.

Premium platform fee
Standard options plus taxes, trading control and launch protection.

Network gas is additional. Campaigns and validated referral discounts may affect the final quote. Confirm the amount in your wallet before signing.
Compare current network pricingCommon 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 taxes, allowlists and transfer limits add complexity. Enable only the controls your launch actually needs.
Not verifying the contract
The app attempts explorer source verification after deployment. Check the result separately; verification can be pending or fail and does not prove that a token is safe.
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.
Fund the deploying wallet with native BNB for the current platform quote plus wallet-estimated network gas. Check the live pricing table and final creation summary; campaigns and feature choices can change the fee.
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. Renunciation permanently removes owner-only access, when enabled. It does not remove existing restrictions or guarantee decentralization.
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.
A reverted transaction may still consume network gas. The platform fee is reverted if deployment reverts. Check the original transaction hash before retrying a timed-out request.
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.
