How to create a token on Sonic
This guide walks you through creating your own ERC-20 token on Sonic from start to finish — no coding, very low fees, done in minutes.
What is Sonic?
Sonic is the high-performance successor to Fantom, offering sub-second finality and very high throughput while remaining fully EVM-compatible. Gas is paid in the S token, and the chain rewards active developers through a fee-sharing program.
Why create a token on Sonic?
Sonic combines EVM familiarity with layer-1 speed and fraction-of-a-cent fees. Your ERC-20 deploys in seconds and inherits a DeFi ecosystem carried over and rebuilt from Fantom.
Step 1 — Set up your wallet
Install MetaMask and add Sonic (Chain ID 146). Our Sonic creator can switch you in one click, or follow add Sonic to MetaMask.
Step 2 — Get S
You need a little S on the Sonic network for gas and the service fee. Withdraw S from a supporting exchange, or bridge assets to Sonic.
Step 3 — Configure your token
Open the Sonic 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 Sonic in seconds, with the full supply sent to your wallet.
Step 5 — Make it tradable
Add a liquidity pool on a Sonic DEX — see add liquidity on Sonic. Consider locking liquidity to build trust.
How much does it cost to create a token on Sonic?
A Sonic deployment usually costs a fraction of a cent in S, plus the service fee. There is no separate listing charge — once deployed, your ERC-20 is immediately tradable on Shadow and Beets as soon as you add a liquidity pool.
Verifying your contract on SonicScan
The generator deploys an already-verified contract, so anyone can inspect the source on SonicScan. A verified contract is a core trust signal — share your SonicScan link so holders can confirm the total supply, ownership status and that there are no hidden mint or blacklist functions.
Security tips for your Sonic token
A few habits protect your holders on Sonic: 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.
