Base ERC-20

Base Token Creator: Create an ERC-20 Token, No Code

Create and deploy a verified ERC-20 token on Base, Coinbase's Ethereum L2, in minutes with no code. Cents in gas, BaseScan-verified, and ready for Uniswap, from 0.01 ETH.

0.01 ETH for a standard token, 0.03 ETH for an advanced one, plus network gas

How to Create an ERC-20 Token on Base

Connect your wallet

Connect Coinbase Wallet, MetaMask, or any Base wallet. This wallet pays the fee, receives the full token supply, and becomes the contract owner.

Choose Standard or Advanced

Pick a Standard ERC-20 token (0.01 ETH) for a clean fixed supply, or Advanced (0.03 ETH) to add transaction taxes, auto-liquidity, auto-burn, and anti-whale limits.

Configure your token

Set your token name, symbol, and total supply. Advanced tokens also let you set buy, sell, and transfer taxes, fee-collector wallets, and the maximum any single wallet can hold.

Review and deploy

Check your configuration and the deployment fee, then sign one transaction. Deploying on Base costs cents in gas, and your token is live in seconds.

Verified and live

Your contract source is verified on BaseScan automatically. Share the address, open a Uniswap pool for it, and your token is ready for Coinbase Wallet users.

Frequently Asked Questions

The Tokenry fee is 0.01 ETH for a Standard token or 0.03 ETH for an Advanced token. The real saving is gas: the same ERC-20 deploy costs a few cents on Base, well under what it costs on Ethereum mainnet, because Base is an L2 that settles its transactions to Ethereum. The token is a standard ERC-20 in both cases.

You pay in ETH on Base: the Tokenry fee, 0.01 ETH for Standard or 0.03 ETH for Advanced, plus a few cents of gas, so budget a little above the tier fee. The quickest way to fund a wallet on Base is to withdraw ETH from a Coinbase account and pick Base as the network, which lands almost instantly. If your ETH is on Ethereum mainnet, bridge it across at bridge.base.org, which takes about 10 to 20 minutes. Gas on Base is paid in ETH, so there is no separate gas token to buy.

Barely. Base runs execution on its own L2, so your deploy and later trades stay in the cents range even when Ethereum mainnet gas is high. Extreme congestion on Ethereum can nudge Base fees a little through the cost of posting data back to L1, but nowhere near mainnet levels. In practice, creating a token on Base costs cents in gas regardless of what mainnet is doing, and it confirms in seconds.

No, and it is worth being clear about the difference. Deploying on Base does not list your token on the Coinbase exchange, which is a separate application and review process run by Coinbase. What you do get for free is visibility in Coinbase Wallet: because Base is Coinbase's chain, holders can find and import your token by its contract address with no bridging step.

Increasingly yes, but through onchain trading, not a centralized listing. Coinbase's main app now supports swapping Base tokens onchain, so once your token has liquidity in a Base pool, Coinbase app users can find and buy it from their own wallet with no separate app. That is different from being listed on the Coinbase exchange order book, which is still a separate Coinbase review. It means a fresh Base token can reach Coinbase's audience far sooner than on any other chain.

Any EVM wallet on Base works, including MetaMask and Coinbase Wallet. Coinbase Wallet is the one worth calling out: it is native to Base, so a token you deploy is reachable by its large self-custody user base right away. That built-in distribution is something no other L2 offers out of the box.

You never write Solidity. Tokenry builds the token from a standard OpenZeppelin base, deploys it, and verifies the source on BaseScan so it can be read in full. Since the contract comes from a known template rather than custom code, there are no hidden mint functions or owner backdoors to worry about.

Yes, the exact same ERC-20 standard as Ethereum. Base is an Ethereum L2, so a token you deploy here has identical contract behavior, transfer, balance, and approve, that every wallet, DEX, and explorer understands. Nothing about it is Base-proprietary: it works across Base DeFi and can be bridged to other chains. The only practical difference from deploying on Ethereum is the cent-level gas.

Pair your token with ETH to open a market. Uniswap runs v2, v3 and v4 on Base, and the Base pool creator opens the pool, funds it and executes your first buy in one transaction. If your token charges a transaction tax, use a v2 pool, since v3 and v4 concentrated liquidity do not support fee-on-transfer tokens.

Yes, and Base is one of the busiest chains for it. A Standard fixed-supply token is all most memecoins need, and the near-zero fees keep both launching and trading cheap. Base's mix of consumer users and Coinbase reach is a big part of why memecoin and social-token activity has clustered here.

Advanced tokens carry buy, sell, and transfer taxes up to 20% each, automatic burns, auto-liquidity, anti-whale wallet caps, and multiple fee-collector wallets. Each tax splits by the ratios you choose. On Base the swaps behind those features cost almost nothing in gas, which makes tax and reward tokenomics practical to run even on small trades.

The deploying wallet owns the contract and holds all of the supply; Tokenry keeps no keys and cannot touch it. When your tokenomics are set, you can renounce ownership to make the contract immutable, which is a common trust signal for community launches.

Launch an ERC-20 on Coinbase's Base

Tokenry makes creating an ERC-20 on Base a matter of filling in a form. You connect a wallet, set the name, symbol, and supply, choose your features, and confirm one transaction that costs cents in gas. Base is Coinbase's Ethereum L2, so it is fast and cheap, and the wallet you deploy from keeps the full supply and owns the contract from the start.

You do not write or compile any code. Tokenry generates the contract from a standard OpenZeppelin base and verifies it on BaseScan as soon as it deploys, so the source is public and readable rather than an opaque block of bytecode. Tokenry takes no keys and no share of your token.

Built-In Reach Through Coinbase Wallet

The reason to launch on Base rather than another cheap L2 is distribution. Because Base is Coinbase's chain, a token you deploy is immediately reachable by Coinbase Wallet's self-custody users, who can add it by contract address with no bridge and no extra steps. That is a starting audience most new tokens have to fight for elsewhere.

Worth keeping straight: this is Coinbase Wallet, the self-custody app, not the Coinbase exchange. Deploying does not list your token for trading on Coinbase itself, which is a separate process. But the wallet-level reach is real, and it is a big part of why consumer projects and memecoins have gravitated to Base.

Cheap Enough for Memecoins and Tax Tokens

A Standard token is a clean, fixed-supply ERC-20, which is exactly what most memecoins and simple community tokens need, and it is the fastest thing to launch on Base's low fees.

An Advanced token layers on trading mechanics: taxes on buys, sells, and transfers, automatic burns and liquidity top-ups, anti-whale caps, and multiple fee wallets. On mainnet the swaps behind those features can cost more than they collect on small trades, but Base gas is so low that tax and reward tokenomics actually work at consumer scale here. Supply mechanics stay immutable for holder safety, so moving from Standard to Advanced means deploying a fresh token rather than editing a live one.

After You Deploy on Base

Your token is verified on BaseScan the instant it goes live, so anyone can import it by contract address. Open a market by pairing it with ETH in a Uniswap pool; Advanced tokens with auto-liquidity keep that pool growing from trading taxes. From there, post charts on DEXScreener and DexTools and share the address with your community, where Coinbase Wallet users can already reach it.

When the tokenomics are settled, renounce ownership to lock the contract for good, or hold the keys and manage an Advanced token's taxes and limits through the Tokenry Token Manager.
