How to create a token on Monad
This guide walks you through creating your own ERC-20 token on Monad from start to finish - no coding, very low fees, done in minutes.
What is Monad?
Monad is a parallel-execution EVM layer-1 engineered for very high throughput — on the order of tens of thousands of transactions per second — while staying bytecode-compatible with Ethereum. It aims to remove the scaling ceiling without giving up EVM tooling.
Why create a token on Monad?
Monad promises Ethereum-level compatibility with dramatically higher throughput, so your ERC-20 behaves normally while the network handles heavy traffic. It is an appealing base for apps expecting scale.
Step 1 - Set up your wallet
Install MetaMask and add Monad (Chain ID 143). Our Monad creator can switch you in one click, or follow add Monad to MetaMask.
Step 2 - Get MON
You need a little MON on the Monad network for gas and the service fee. Withdraw MON from a supporting exchange, or bridge assets to Monad.
Step 3 - Configure your token
Open the Monad 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 Monad in seconds, with the full supply sent to your wallet.
Step 5 - Make it tradable
Add a liquidity pool on a Monad DEX - see add liquidity on Monad. Consider locking liquidity to build trust.
How much does it cost to create a token on Monad?
Deploying on Monad costs very little in MON gas, plus the service fee. There is no separate listing charge — once deployed, your ERC-20 is immediately tradable on the leading Monad DEXes as soon as you add a liquidity pool.
Verifying your contract on Monadscan
The generator deploys an already-verified contract, so anyone can inspect the source on Monadscan. A verified contract is a core trust signal — share your Monadscan link so holders can confirm the total supply, ownership status and that there are no hidden mint or blacklist functions.
Security tips for your Monad token
A few habits protect your holders on Monad: 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 Monad wallet, DEX and explorer. It is a normal on-chain token, not a wrapper or a copy.
How long does deployment take on Monad?
Only a few moments. After you confirm in your wallet, the contract is live on Monad within seconds (sub-second finality), 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.
