How to create a token on Mantle
This guide walks you through creating your own ERC-20 token on Mantle from start to finish - no coding, very low fees, done in minutes.
What is Mantle?
Mantle is a modular Ethereum layer-2 backed by one of the largest treasuries in crypto. It uses a separate data-availability layer to keep fees extremely low, and pays gas in its own MNT token.
Why create a token on Mantle?
Mantle keeps fees well under a cent while remaining a standard EVM chain, so your ERC-20 works everywhere. Its deep treasury also funds ecosystem incentives that can help new projects grow.
Step 1 - Set up your wallet
Install MetaMask and add Mantle (Chain ID 5000). Our Mantle creator can switch you in one click, or follow add Mantle to MetaMask.
Step 2 - Get MNT
You need a little MNT on the Mantle network for gas and the service fee. Withdraw MNT from a supporting exchange, or bridge assets to Mantle.
Step 3 - Configure your token
Open the Mantle 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 Mantle in seconds, with the full supply sent to your wallet.
Step 5 - Make it tradable
Add a liquidity pool on a Mantle DEX - see add liquidity on Mantle. Consider locking liquidity to build trust.
How much does it cost to create a token on Mantle?
A Mantle deployment often costs well under a cent in MNT gas, plus the service fee. There is no separate listing charge — once deployed, your ERC-20 is immediately tradable on Merchant Moe and Agni as soon as you add a liquidity pool.
Verifying your contract on Mantlescan
The generator deploys an already-verified contract, so anyone can inspect the source on Mantlescan. A verified contract is a core trust signal — share your Mantlescan link so holders can confirm the total supply, ownership status and that there are no hidden mint or blacklist functions.
Security tips for your Mantle token
A few habits protect your holders on Mantle: 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.
