Create a BEP-20 Token on BNB Chain

What Is a BEP-20 Token?

A BEP-20 token is a fungible digital asset that follows a shared set of rules on BNB Chain. "Fungible" means every unit is identical and interchangeable, exactly like a currency: one unit of your token is always worth the same as any other. BEP-20 defines a common interface — a fixed list of functions and events that every compliant token implements — so BNB Chain wallets, exchanges, BscScan and decentralized exchanges like PancakeSwap can support your token without any custom code.

The core functions are totalSupply, balanceOf, transfer, transferFrom, approve and allowance, plus the Transfer and Approval events. Because these are standardized, the moment your token is deployed it is automatically compatible with MetaMask, Trust Wallet, PancakeSwap and thousands of other tools on BNB Chain.

BEP-20 is intentionally a superset of Ethereum's token standard: it is functionally almost identical to ERC-20, with the same interface and behavior. The only meaningful difference is the network it runs on. A token you deploy here is a BEP-20 on BNB Chain; the same token on Ethereum or a Layer-2 is called an ERC-20. This creator builds both from the same audited code base, so your BNB token benefits from battle-tested contract logic.

How to Create a BEP-20 Token on BNB Chain, Step by Step

Creating a BNB token here takes under a minute and never requires code. You keep full custody the entire time, and BNB Chain is already pre-selected in the form.

1. Confirm BNB Chain is selected. The network selector at the top of the form is already set to BNB Chain, and the fee shows 0.1 BNB. When you connect, your wallet switches to BNB Chain automatically — and if the network is not yet added to your wallet, it is added for you.
2. Configure your token. Enter a name (e.g. "My BNB Token"), a symbol (2–8 characters, e.g. MBT), a total supply and the number of decimals (18 is standard). Toggle any optional features — mintable, burnable, taxable, anti-whale and more — all included in the flat fee, with no paid add-ons.
3. Connect your wallet. Connect MetaMask, Trust Wallet, Rabby, Coinbase Wallet, OKX or any WalletConnect-compatible mobile wallet. The address you connect becomes the owner of the BEP-20 token and receives 100% of the initial supply.
4. Review, confirm and deploy. Check the review card, approve the flat 0.1 BNB fee plus standard BNB Chain gas in your wallet, and the contract is deployed, verified on BscScan, and the full supply and ownership are transferred to you — instantly and irreversibly.

There is no account, no email and no login. Each deployment is independent, so you can create as many BNB tokens as you like, or launch the same token on other networks too.

BNB Chain and Other Supported Networks

The same audited contract compiles identically across every supported EVM chain, so your token behaves the same everywhere. What differs is gas cost, the flat fee (always charged in the network's own coin), and which ecosystem and DEX your token plugs into. BNB Chain pairs very low fees with a huge retail audience and PancakeSwap.

BEP-20 vs ERC-20 and Other Token Standards

Token standards define what a token can do and how other software interacts with it. On BNB Chain the fungible standard is BEP-20; on Ethereum and its Layer-2s it is ERC-20. The two are near-identical in practice.

For a cryptocurrency, meme coin, utility token or governance token on BNB Chain, BEP-20 is almost always the right standard — which is exactly what this tool creates. NFT standards like BEP-721 describe unique assets and are a different category entirely. BEP-20 remains the most widely supported fungible standard on BSC.

BEP-20 Token Features Explained

Every feature below can be toggled on at creation and is covered by the single flat 0.1 BNB fee. Because the contract is generated from audited building blocks, adding a feature never weakens the rest of the token. Choose only what your project needs — a simpler contract is easier for holders to trust.

• Mintable — lets the owner create new tokens after launch, with an optional maximum cap. Useful for rewards or staged distribution.
• Burnable — allows tokens to be permanently destroyed, reducing supply. Common for buy-backs and deflationary mechanics.
• Deflationary — automatically burns a small percentage on every transfer, gradually shrinking supply.
• Reflection — redistributes a fee from each transaction back to existing holders, rewarding people for holding.
• Taxable — collects a configurable buy and sell tax that can fund marketing, liquidity or a treasury.
• Anti-whale — caps the maximum wallet size as a percentage of supply so no single holder can dominate.
• Liquidity pool — routes a share of supply straight into PancakeSwap so trading can begin immediately.

Supply, Decimals and BNB Token Tokenomics

Tokenomics is the design of your token's economy — how many exist, how they are divided, and how they enter circulation. Three fields on the form shape it directly.

Total supply is the number of tokens created at launch. There is no "correct" number: BNB Chain meme projects often mint one billion, one trillion or more. What matters is that supply, price and market cap are related — a larger supply simply means a lower price per token for the same total value.

Decimals define how divisible each token is. The standard is 18, matching BNB itself. Some stablecoins use 6. Unless you have a specific reason, leave decimals at 18 for maximum compatibility with PancakeSwap and BNB Chain wallets.

Distribution decides who holds the supply after launch. With a fixed supply, everything goes to the owner wallet, and you distribute through liquidity, airdrops and sales. Reserving portions for liquidity, the team and the community is one of the biggest signals of a credible BNB project.

How Much Does It Cost to Create a BEP-20 Token?

The total cost to create a BEP-20 token on BNB Chain is a single flat fee of 0.1 BNB, plus the standard BNB Chain gas required to deploy any smart contract — which is typically only a few cents. There are no subscriptions, no tiers and no per-feature charges; every feature is included.

Network	Flat fee	Typical gas	Standard
BNB Chain	0.1 BNB	A few cents	BEP-20
Ethereum	0.02 ETH	Higher (mainnet)	ERC-20
Base	0.02 ETH	Fraction of a cent	ERC-20
Arbitrum	0.02 ETH	Very low	ERC-20
Optimism	0.02 ETH	Very low	ERC-20
Polygon	600 POL	Minimal	ERC-20

Gas is paid to BNB Chain itself, not to the platform, and it varies with real-time congestion — but BNB Chain gas is famously cheap, which is a big reason so many new tokens launch here. Make sure the owner wallet holds a little BNB to cover the 0.1 BNB fee plus gas.

Should You Launch on BNB Chain or Another Network?

BNB Chain is an excellent default for retail-facing and community tokens, but it is not the only option. Because each deployment is independent, many projects launch the same token on more than one chain.

• Choose BNB Chain (this page) to reach the large BEP-20 and PancakeSwap audience with fast, very cheap transactions.
• Choose Ethereum for maximum credibility, the deepest liquidity and the widest exchange support — at higher gas.
• Choose Base or Arbitrum for near-zero fees inside the Ethereum ecosystem.
• Choose Optimism for a low-cost Ethereum Layer-2 with a strong governance culture.
• Choose Polygon for a mature, very low-cost network with broad tooling and consumer-app adoption.

You can always start on BNB Chain and add another network later — just open the multi-chain token creator and pick a different chain.

Security, Ownership and Trust

Every BEP-20 contract this tool deploys is built on OpenZeppelin's audited, industry-standard libraries — the same building blocks that secure a large share of the tokens in circulation. No unaudited custom code is introduced. After deployment, your source code is automatically verified on BscScan, so anyone can read exactly what the contract does before they trust it.

Ownership and the entire token supply are transferred to your wallet the moment deployment completes; the platform keeps no admin keys, mint authority or backdoors. To prove your token can never be changed, you can renounce ownership after launch by transferring the owner role to the zero address — a common trust signal for BNB Chain community tokens. Keep the owner wallet secure, because whoever controls it controls the token.

After You Create Your BNB Token: Listing on PancakeSwap

Deploying the BEP-20 contract is the beginning, not the end. A typical BNB Chain launch checklist looks like this:

1. Confirm and save the contract address. Open your token on BscScan, confirm the verified source code, and save the address — it is your token's permanent identity.
2. Add liquidity on PancakeSwap. Pair your token with BNB on PancakeSwap so people can trade it. This is the single most important step for a tradeable BNB token.
3. Add it to wallets. Import the contract address into MetaMask or Trust Wallet and share it so holders can see their balances.
4. List and get discovered. Submit your token to CoinGecko, CoinMarketCap and DEX screeners like DexScreener and PooCoin to build visibility on BNB Chain.
5. Build your community. A token is only as strong as the people behind it — a clear website, honest communication and active social channels matter more than any single feature.

Common BNB Token Use Cases

The BEP-20 standard is flexible enough to power many kinds of BNB Chain projects:

• Community and meme coins — social tokens built around a brand, joke or movement, a huge category on BNB Chain.
• Utility tokens — access to a product, platform or service.
• Governance tokens — voting power in a DAO or protocol.
• Reward and loyalty tokens — incentives for users, players or holders.
• Stablecoins and asset-backed tokens — units designed to track a reference value.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

• Losing the owner wallet. Whoever controls the owner wallet controls the token. Back up your keys.
• Launching with no liquidity. A BEP-20 token with no PancakeSwap liquidity pool cannot be traded. Plan your liquidity before launch.
• Over-engineering the contract. Enabling features you do not need adds complexity and can reduce holder trust. Keep it simple.
• Running out of BNB. Make sure the owner wallet holds enough BNB to cover the 0.1 BNB fee plus gas.
• Setting extreme taxes. Very high buy/sell taxes discourage trading and can flag your token as suspicious on DEX screeners.
