How to create a BEP-20 token (step by step)

You can create and deploy a BEP-20 token on BNB Chain in minutes without writing code — connect a wallet, set your token details, and click deploy. Here is exactly how.

What you need before you start

• A BNB Chain wallet (MetaMask or Trust Wallet).
• A small amount of BNB for the gas + service fee (a few dollars).
• Your token idea: name, symbol and total supply.

Step 1 — Connect your wallet

Open the BNB Chain token creator and connect your wallet. The tool is non-custodial — it never accesses your funds; you approve every action.

Step 2 — Configure your token

Enter your name, symbol, total supply and decimals (18 is standard). Optionally enable features like Mintable, Burnable, Transaction Tax, Anti-Whale or Blacklist. Not sure on supply? Use the tokenomics generator.

Step 3 — Deploy

Click Create and confirm the transaction in your wallet. Your BEP-20 contract is deployed to BNB Chain in under a minute, and you receive the contract address — viewable on BscScan.

Step 4 — Go live

After deployment: add liquidity on PancakeSwap to make it tradable, lock that liquidity, and consider renouncing ownership so your token is rug-proof. Then share it with your community.

How much it costs

Only the BNB gas fee plus a small flat service fee — typically a few dollars total. No subscriptions, no hidden charges.

What kind of token can you create on BNB Chain?

When you create a token on BNB Chain, you can build almost any kind of fungible token — what changes is the design and purpose, not the underlying process. Common choices include:

• Meme coins — community- and culture-driven tokens that spread through attention and a shared story.
• Community tokens — a token at the centre of a brand, creator or project community.
• Utility tokens — tokens that grant access to a product, service or feature.
• Governance tokens — tokens that let holders vote on a project or DAO.

All of these are fungible tokens at heart, so the steps to create them on BNB Chain are the same — you simply decide the supply, name and purpose. To explore the full range, see types of cryptocurrency and what are altcoins.

Tips for launching your BNB Chain token successfully

Creating the token on BNB Chain is just the first step — a successful launch depends on what you do next. A few essentials:

• Add and lock liquidity. Pair your token on a BNB Chain DEX so people can trade it, and lock the liquidity — the single biggest trust signal you can give. See how DEXs work.
• Verify your contract. A verified contract lets buyers confirm there is no hidden mint or freeze function — read how to verify your token contract.
• Plan a sensible supply. Decide your supply and allocation deliberately with the tokenomics generator and token supply explained.
• Build a community. A token with no community is just a contract — see how to get your first 100 holders.
• Stay safe and transparent. Follow the trust practices in avoiding scams and rug pulls.

Get these right and your BNB Chain token launch stands on solid foundations rather than hype alone.
