How to create a token on Scroll
This guide walks you through creating your own ERC-20 token on Scroll from start to finish β no coding, tiny zkEVM fees, done in minutes.
What is Scroll?
Scroll is a bytecode-compatible zkEVM that mirrors Ethereum as closely as possible, so existing contracts and tooling work with no changes while gaining zero-knowledge security. It is a favourite among developers who want maximum compatibility.
Why create a token on Scroll?
Scroll's bytecode-level compatibility means your ERC-20 is indistinguishable from an Ethereum token, just cheaper to run. It is a clean choice if you care about tooling parity and zk security.
Step 1 β Set up your wallet
Install MetaMask and add Scroll (Chain ID 534352). Our Scroll creator can switch you in one click, or follow add Scroll to MetaMask.
Step 2 β Get ETH on Scroll
You need a little ETH on the Scroll network for gas and the service fee. Bridge from Ethereum via scroll.io/bridge, or withdraw ETH on Scroll from a supporting exchange.
Step 3 β Configure your token
Open the Scroll token generator and enter your name, symbol, decimals and total supply. Choose optional features β mintable, burnable, tax, anti-whale, blacklist β or leave them off for a clean, immutable token. Plan numbers with our tokenomics generator.
Step 4 β Deploy
Click create and confirm in MetaMask. Your verified ERC-20 contract deploys on Scroll in seconds, with the full supply sent to your wallet.
Step 5 β Make it tradable
Add a liquidity pool on a Scroll DEX β see add liquidity on Scroll. Consider locking liquidity to build trust.
How much does it cost to create a token on Scroll?
Deploying on Scroll typically costs a few cents in ETH gas, plus the service fee. There is no separate listing charge β once deployed, your ERC-20 is immediately tradable on Ambient and SyncSwap as soon as you add a liquidity pool.
Verifying your contract on Scrollscan
The generator deploys an already-verified contract, so anyone can inspect the source on Scrollscan. A verified contract is a core trust signal β share your Scrollscan link so holders can confirm the total supply, ownership status and that there are no hidden mint or blacklist functions.
Security tips for your Scroll token
A few habits protect your holders on Scroll: 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.

Is my token a real ERC-20?
Yes β the generator deploys a standard, verified ERC-20 that works with every Scroll wallet, DEX and explorer. It is a normal on-chain token, not a wrapper or a copy.
How long does deployment take on Scroll?
Only a few moments. After you confirm in your wallet, the contract is live on Scroll 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 β name, symbol, supply and any optional features β and the tool deploys the ERC-20 contract for you.
