Estimates only — gas fees vary with network activity and coin prices. Liquidity is capital you own, not a fee.
What goes into the cost of launching a token?
Creating a token is cheaper than most people expect, but a successful launch has a few cost components. The deployment gas fee is what the blockchain charges to publish your token's contract — only a few dollars on Solana, BNB Chain, Base and Arbitrum, and higher on Ethereum mainnet. A no-code creator may add a small service fee, often nothing. The largest part of most budgets is liquidity — the capital you pair with your token so people can trade it, which you keep ownership of. Beyond these, marketing and community are where serious projects invest the most, because a token nobody knows about has no value.

Frequently asked questions
How much does it cost to create a token?
For most networks, deploying a token costs only a few dollars in gas — very low on Solana, BNB Chain, Base and Arbitrum, and higher on Ethereum mainnet. The bigger part of a launch budget is the liquidity you choose to add and your marketing.
Are these cost estimates exact?
No. Gas fees change constantly with network activity and coin prices, so these are indicative ranges for planning, not live quotes. Always check current fees before deploying. Liquidity is an amount you choose and keep ownership of, not a fee.
What is the cheapest network to create a token on?
Solana and BNB Chain are usually the cheapest to deploy on, often just a few dollars. Ethereum mainnet is typically the most expensive, while its layer-2s Base and Arbitrum are much cheaper.
Is liquidity a cost?
Not exactly. Liquidity is capital you pair with your token so it can be traded — you still own it. But you need enough of it for your token to trade smoothly, so it is the biggest part of most launch budgets.
