- Features you need (burn, mint, tax...)
The 5-Step Token Creation Process
Follow these steps to create your token from scratch — no coding needed at any step.
Choose Your Blockchain
Pick the network that matches your budget and target audience. BNB Chain is the most popular for community tokens and meme coins — low fees (~$0.30 gas), PancakeSwap liquidity, and a large existing community. Ethereum offers the strongest DeFi ecosystem and credibility. Base, Arbitrum, and Polygon are great for lower gas costs with Ethereum compatibility.
See all supported chains →Set Your Token Parameters
Enter your token name, ticker symbol, total supply, and decimals. Most projects use 18 decimals — this matches ETH and BNB and is compatible with all major DEXs. Your total supply is minted entirely to your wallet at deployment, giving you full control over distribution.
Choose Your Features
Select which features to enable: burn (deflationary mechanics), mint (expandable supply), pause (emergency freeze), blacklist (block bad actors), buy/sell tax (DeFi revenue), anti-whale (max wallet limits), and max transaction controls. Basic tier is for simple tokens. Standard adds DeFi features. Premium gives you the full suite.
See all features explained →Connect Wallet & Deploy
Connect MetaMask or Trust Wallet. Make sure your wallet is on the correct network. Click Deploy Token — your wallet shows a transaction confirmation with the exact cost (platform fee + gas). Confirm and the contract deploys in 3–10 seconds depending on the chain.
Receive Your Verified Contract
After deployment you immediately receive your contract address. TokenGeneratorApp automatically submits your source code to BscScan or Etherscan for verification. Within a few minutes the green Verified checkmark appears, proving transparency to your community.
What Happens After You Create Your Token?
Token is live on-chain
Your contract is deployed and confirmed on the blockchain immediately after the transaction.
Source code verified
TokenGeneratorApp automatically submits your contract to the block explorer. The Verified green checkmark appears within minutes.
Add liquidity on a DEX
To make your token tradeable, add a liquidity pool on PancakeSwap (BNB Chain), Uniswap (Ethereum/Base), or another supported DEX.
Distribute to holders
Transfer tokens from your wallet to team members, advisors, community members, or treasury addresses.
