It may seem that all cryptocurrencies are created by large teams of developers with massive capital. In fact, anyone interested in digital currency can now create their own token. You do not need to build a blockchain or create a cryptocurrency from scratch. It is enough to use the source data of an existing blockchain. In this article, we will show you how to create your own token based on Ethereum, Tron, Waves, Polygon and Cardano.
It’s worth mentioning that we will discuss the creation of a token and not a cryptocurrency. As for the latter, you’ll need a separate blockchain.
In order to launch a token, you need to write a smart contract for it. It is not necessary to create a code from scratch. In the case of Ethereum, you can copy the code of any ERC-20 token from GitHub and change its key parameters. Let’s create our token in the remix.ethereum.org service.
That’s it, your ERC-20 token is ready to enter the crypto world!
Tron is a platform for creating smart contracts, similar in functionality to Ethereum. It is possible to create TRC-10 and TRC-20 type tokens on this network. To create a token on this network, you must first download the TronLink wallet.
There you go! The TRC-20 standard token has been launched.
One of the easiest ways to create a token is to use the Waves blockchain.
That’s it! Your token will be deployed after you pay the launch fee that constitutes 1 WAVES which equals around $25 at the moment of writing.
Polygon is a platform for building Ethereum compatible blockchains. The developers aim to increase the scalability of Ethereum and reduce transaction costs. Let’s discuss how to create a token on Polygon without deep programming knowledge.
Done, your token is on Polygon now!
The Cardano blockchain is also compared to the popular Ethereum, and its ADA cryptocurrency is consistently ranked among the most successful cryptocurrencies by capitalization. Here’s how to create and launch your own token on this popular network.
Please note that creating tokens using the Cardano CLI requires prior experience with a Cardano node.
We hope we managed to prove that a cryptocurrency can be created over a cup of tea. However, before getting down to create your own asset, think about its purpose and ways of promotion because the creation of a token is only the beginning of your crypto project story 😉
