How to create a token on Sui
This guide walks you through publishing your own Coin on Sui from start to finish — no coding, low fees, done in minutes.
What is Sui?
Sui is a non-EVM layer-1 built in the Move language with an object-centric data model, enabling parallel execution and very high throughput. Tokens on Sui are Coins rather than ERC-20 contracts, and use wallets like Suiet or Sui Wallet.
Why create a token on Sui?
Sui's object model and parallel execution give it a genuinely different architecture from EVM chains — fast, cheap, and designed for consumer-scale apps. A Sui Coin is native to that high-throughput environment.
Step 1 — Set up your wallet
Install a Sui wallet such as Slush, Suiet or Phantom and create or import a wallet — see best Sui wallets. Our Sui creator connects to any of them via the Wallet Standard.
Step 2 — Get some SUI
You need a little SUI for gas and the service fee. Buy SUI on an exchange and withdraw it to your wallet address — see Sui fees.
Step 3 — Configure your token
Open the Sui token creator and enter your name, symbol, decimals and total supply. Optionally upload an icon and write a short description. Plan your numbers with our tokenomics generator.
Step 4 — Publish
Click create and approve the transaction in your wallet. Your Coin module is published on Sui in seconds, the full supply is minted to you, and you receive the TreasuryCap to mint or burn later.
Step 5 — Make it tradable
Add a liquidity pool on a Sui DEX — see add liquidity on Sui. Consider locking liquidity to build trust, then view your Coin on Suiscan.
How much does it cost to create a token on Sui?
Creating a Coin on Sui costs a fraction of a cent in SUI, plus the service fee. There is no separate listing charge — once deployed, your Coin (Move) is immediately tradable on Cetus and Turbos as soon as you add a liquidity pool.
Verifying your contract on Suiscan
The generator deploys an already-verified contract, so anyone can inspect the source on Suiscan. A verified contract is a core trust signal — share your Suiscan link so holders can confirm the total supply, ownership status and that there are no hidden mint or blacklist functions.
Security tips for your Sui token
A few habits protect your holders on Sui: 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 Coin (Move)?
Yes — the generator deploys a standard, verified Coin (Move) that works with every Sui wallet, DEX and explorer. It is a normal on-chain token, not a wrapper or a copy.
How long does deployment take on Sui?
Only a few moments. After you confirm in your wallet, the contract is live on Sui 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 Coin (Move) contract for you.
Do I need to code?
No. The Sui token creator builds and publishes a real Move Coin for you — you just fill in a form and approve.
How much does it cost?
Just the small Sui network gas plus the service fee. Keep a little SUI in your wallet.
Do I really own the token?
Yes — the package, full supply and TreasuryCap are all sent to your wallet. It is fully non-custodial.
