How to create a token on Unichain
This guide walks you through creating your own ERC-20 token on Unichain from start to finish - no coding, very low fees, done in minutes.
What is Unichain?
Unichain is an Ethereum layer-2 built by the Uniswap team on the OP Stack, designed as a DeFi-first home with deep, native Uniswap liquidity and fast, cheap swaps.
Why create a token on Unichain?
Launching on Unichain puts your ERC-20 next to native Uniswap liquidity on a chain purpose-built for trading. If DeFi and swap depth matter to your project, that is a strong advantage.
Step 1 - Set up your wallet
Install MetaMask and add Unichain (Chain ID 130). Our Unichain creator can switch you in one click, or follow add Unichain to MetaMask.
Step 2 - Get ETH
You need a little ETH on the Unichain network for gas and the service fee. Bridge ETH to Unichain, or withdraw ETH from a supporting exchange.
Step 3 - Configure your token
Open the Unichain 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 Unichain in seconds, with the full supply sent to your wallet.
Step 5 - Make it tradable
Add a liquidity pool on a Unichain DEX - see add liquidity on Unichain. Consider locking liquidity to build trust.
How much does it cost to create a token on Unichain?
Creating a token on Unichain typically 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 Uniswap as soon as you add a liquidity pool.
Verifying your contract on Uniscan
The generator deploys an already-verified contract, so anyone can inspect the source on Uniscan. A verified contract is a core trust signal — share your Uniscan link so holders can confirm the total supply, ownership status and that there are no hidden mint or blacklist functions.
Security tips for your Unichain token
A few habits protect your holders on Unichain: 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.
