Soneium pairs Ethereum security and standard ERC-20 tokens with the backing of a major consumer brand and a focus on mainstream use cases. Fees are a few cents.
Step 1 - Set up your wallet
Install MetaMask and add Soneium (Chain ID 1868). Our Soneium creator can switch you in one click, or follow add Soneium to MetaMask.
Step 2 - Get ETH
You need a little ETH on the Soneium network for gas and the service fee. Bridge ETH to Soneium, or withdraw ETH from a supporting exchange.
Step 3 - Configure your token
Open the Soneium 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 Soneium in seconds, with the full supply sent to your wallet.
Step 5 - Make it tradable
Add a liquidity pool on a Soneium DEX - see add liquidity on Soneium. Consider locking liquidity to build trust.
How much does it cost to create a token on Soneium?
A Soneium deployment usually 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 Sonus and Kyo as soon as you add a liquidity pool.
Verifying your contract on Soneium Explorer
The generator deploys an already-verified contract, so anyone can inspect the source on Soneium Explorer. A verified contract is a core trust signal — share your Soneium Explorer link so holders can confirm the total supply, ownership status and that there are no hidden mint or blacklist functions.
Security tips for your Soneium token
A few habits protect your holders on Soneium: 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.
