How to create a token on Linea
This guide walks you through creating your own ERC-20 token on Linea from start to finish — no coding, tiny zkEVM fees, done in minutes.
What is Linea?
Linea is a zkEVM rollup from Consensys — the team behind MetaMask and Infura — using zero-knowledge proofs to settle securely on Ethereum. It offers full EVM equivalence, so contracts behave exactly as they do on mainnet.
Why create a token on Linea?
Because Linea is a zkEVM, your ERC-20 deploys and behaves identically to Ethereum, but with low fees and zk-proof security. Tight MetaMask integration makes the whole flow smooth for newcomers.
Step 1 — Set up your wallet
Install MetaMask and add Linea (Chain ID 59144). Our Linea creator can switch you in one click, or follow add Linea to MetaMask. Linea and MetaMask are both by ConsenSys, so it is seamless.
Step 2 — Get ETH on Linea
You need a little ETH on the Linea network for gas and the service fee. Withdraw ETH on Linea from a supporting exchange, or bridge from Ethereum.
Step 3 — Configure your token
Open the Linea token generator and enter your name, symbol, decimals and total supply. Choose optional features — mintable, burnable, tax, anti-whale, blacklist — or leave them off for a clean, immutable token. Plan numbers with our tokenomics generator.
Step 4 — Deploy
Click create and confirm in MetaMask. Your verified ERC-20 contract deploys on Linea in seconds, with the full supply sent to your wallet.
Step 5 — Make it tradable
Add a liquidity pool on a Linea DEX — see add liquidity on Linea. Consider locking liquidity to build trust.
How much does it cost to create a token on Linea?
A Linea deployment generally costs a few cents in ETH gas, plus the service fee. There is no separate listing charge — once deployed, your ERC-20 is immediately tradable on Lynex and SyncSwap as soon as you add a liquidity pool.
Verifying your contract on LineaScan
The generator deploys an already-verified contract, so anyone can inspect the source on LineaScan. A verified contract is a core trust signal — share your LineaScan link so holders can confirm the total supply, ownership status and that there are no hidden mint or blacklist functions.
Security tips for your Linea token
A few habits protect your holders on Linea: decide up front whether to keep minting open or renounce it for a fixed supply, add liquidity and then lock it so buyers know it can't be pulled, test with a small amount first, and never promise guaranteed returns.

Frequently asked questions
Is my token a real ERC-20?
Yes — the generator deploys a standard, verified ERC-20 that works with every Linea wallet, DEX and explorer. It is a normal on-chain token, not a wrapper or a copy.
How long does deployment take on Linea?
Only a few moments. After you confirm in your wallet, the contract is live on Linea within seconds (a few seconds), with the full supply sent to your address.
Do I need to write any code?
No. You fill in a short form — name, symbol, supply and any optional features — and the tool deploys the ERC-20 contract for you.
Do I need to code?
No. The generator deploys a verified ERC-20 for you — you only fill in a form and confirm in your wallet.

Just the small Linea gas plus the service fee — far cheaper than Ethereum. Keep a little ETH on Linea.
