How to create a TON token

You can deploy your own Jetton on The Open Network in minutes, with no code and tiny fees. Here is the full step-by-step.

What you need

• A TON wallet such as Tonkeeper, MyTonWallet or the Telegram Wallet — see best TON wallets.
• A little TON for gas and the service fee — see TON fees.
• A token name, symbol, total supply and (optionally) an icon and description.

Step by step

1. Open the TON token creator and connect your wallet via TON Connect.
2. Enter your token name, symbol, decimals and total supply.
3. Optionally upload an icon and write a short description.
4. Click create and approve the transaction in your wallet.
5. Your Jetton is deployed on TON and the full supply lands in your wallet in seconds.

After you launch

You are the Jetton admin, so you can mint more later or renounce admin for a fixed supply. Add a liquidity pool so people can trade it — see add liquidity on TON. Then view your token on Tonviewer and share it.

Why TON

What kind of token can you create on TON?

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

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