Ink Token Creator: Create a Token on Ink With the Features You Choose

How much ETH it costs to create a token on Ink

Creating a token on Ink costs a Tokenry fee in ETH plus network gas, both paid from your wallet on Ink.

The base Tokenry fee is 0.01 ETH, paid to Tokenry. Each paid feature you switch on (up to 7) adds 0.003 ETH, also paid to Tokenry. "Renounce at creation" is free. Network gas varies, goes to the network and is shown in your wallet before you sign.

Totals for 3 common choices, each plus gas: no paid features, 0.01 ETH; tax only, 0.013 ETH; all 7 paid features, 0.031 ETH.

Gas on Ink has 2 parts: an execution fee on Ink and a security fee for posting the transaction to Ethereum. Ink's fee docs say the security fee is generally the higher part.

The Tokenry fee is paid inside the deploy transaction. If the deploy fails, the whole transaction reverts and Tokenry takes no fee, but the gas for the failed transaction is spent.

Token details and paid features you can pick

Every token from the Ink Token Creator is an ERC-20, the standard token format wallets and DEXes on Ink read. The contract is built from OpenZeppelin's library, and the full supply goes to your wallet.

The 4 token details and their limits: the token name takes up to 64 characters; the token symbol takes up to 16 characters, with no spaces; the total supply is a whole number above 0; decimals run from 0 to 18, with 18 as the default. Of these 4, only the supply can change later, through Mintable, Burnable or a tax Burn share.

The features: Renounce at creation means the token has no owner from the first block, permanently. It cannot be combined with Mintable, Pausable, Blacklist or Anti-whale.

Tax takes up to 20% of buys and sells in the token's own Uniswap v2 pair, and of wallet-to-wallet transfers.

Anti-whale caps tokens per wallet ("Max wallet") and per trade ("Max per trade"), each 0.5% to 100% of supply. Later, the limits can only be raised or removed.

Mintable lets the owner create more of this token later, up to an optional cap that is fixed at creation. Burnable lets holders destroy their own tokens. Pausable lets the owner pause and unpause every transfer.

Blacklist lets the owner stop chosen wallets from moving tokens. The token's Uniswap pools paired with ETH can never be blacklisted. Votes lets holders delegate their tokens to activate voting power for DAO voting tools.

Buy and sell tax at creation: rates, payouts and the Uniswap v2 pair

On Ink, the Tax feature sets a buy, a sell and a transfer rate, each from 0% to 20%. Under "After launch", pick "Can only go down" to allow only lower rates later, or "Changeable" to raise or lower them.

The tax is split between up to 5 fee wallets and optional Burn and Liquidity shares, which must add up to 100%. Fee wallets are paid in the token itself or in WETH, wrapped ETH. The fee wallets and the coin they are paid in are permanent once the token exists.

Among trades, only buys and sells in the token's own Uniswap v2 pair against WETH are taxed. Trades in other pools are not. The transfer tax applies only to wallet-to-wallet sends, not to sends to or from a contract. A taxed token therefore needs its pool on Uniswap v2 with ETH, and Tokenry's pool creator opens it there.

Who controls the token after the deploy

Your token on Ink gets an owner only when it has Mintable, Pausable, Blacklist, Tax or Anti-whale and "Renounce at creation" is off. Tokenry keeps no access to the contract.

The owner can use the features the token has, such as lowering the tax, minting or pausing transfers. The owner can also transfer ownership, which the new owner must accept, or renounce it permanently.

Change your token's settings after launch with a tool that has no Tokenry fee; you pay only gas.

Next tools for a new token on Ink
