How to create a Linea token

You can launch your own token on Linea in minutes, with no code and tiny zkEVM fees. Here is the full step-by-step.

What you need

• MetaMask set to Linea — see add Linea to MetaMask.
• A small amount of ETH on Linea for gas and the service fee — see Linea fees.
• A token name, symbol and supply.

Step by step

1. Open the Linea token generator and connect your wallet.
2. Enter your token name, symbol, decimals and total supply.
3. Pick optional features (mintable, burnable, tax, anti-whale, blacklist) — or none for a clean, immutable token.
4. Click create and confirm in MetaMask.
5. Your verified ERC-20 contract deploys on Linea in seconds.

After you launch

Add a liquidity pool so people can trade it — see add liquidity on Linea. Then view your token on LineaScan and share it.

Why Linea

Linea gives you Ethereum-grade compatibility (ERC-20, MetaMask) with zkEVM security at a fraction of a cent — and it is built by the MetaMask team. New to tokens? Read what is a crypto token.

What kind of token can you create on Linea?

When you create a token on Linea, 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 Linea 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 Linea token successfully

Creating the token on Linea 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 Linea 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 Linea token launch stands on solid foundations rather than hype alone.
