Optimism Token Creator: Deploy From the Wallet You Connect

With the Optimism token creator, you deploy an ERC-20 on OP Mainnet, a crypto coin apart from the OP token. Standard costs 0.01 ETH. Advanced (minting, a supply cap, taxes or a holding limit) costs 0.03 ETH. Tokenry, used for 820+ tokens on 9 chains, puts the full supply in your wallet after one signature. Gas and the L1 data fee are paid in ETH.

18 is standard for most ERC-20 tokens

Why Tokenry

  • No Code Required

    Create and launch tokens without writing any code. Visual configuration for all features.

  • Fully Transparent

    All token data is publicly visible and verifiable on block explorers.

  • Multi-Chain

    Works on Solana and 8 EVM chains, including Ethereum, Base, Arbitrum, Polygon and BNB Chain.

  • Full Ownership

    You have full control. We never hold your keys, tokens, or authority.

How it works

Create a token on Optimism with the form above

  1. 1

    Hold ETH on Optimism, then connect

    MetaMask and other EVM wallets that support Optimism work. Connecting a wallet signs nothing; your one signature comes after the review.

  2. 2

    Turn on only the features you need

    Choose the Standard card for a plain token, or the Advanced card for extras. Each feature has its own toggle, so the contract carries only what you pick.

  3. 3

    Write what wallets will display

    Enter the token's name, its ticker (10 characters at most) and the total supply. Decimals default to 18, within 0 to 18.

  4. 4

    Sign when every setting looks right

    Before your wallet opens, the review screen shows each setting and the creation fee. If one is wrong, go back and fix it; when all match, confirm.

  5. 5

    Save the address while verification runs

    Your token's address appears on the success screen. Tokenry submits the source to Etherscan automatically; if it shows unverified after a few minutes, the screen links to help.

How to create a token on Optimism

How to create a token on Optimism with no code: deploy an ERC-20 in about a minute, auto-verified on Optimistic Etherscan. You need ETH for gas, not OP.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Something not covered here? Contact support.

Will creating a token earn me OP or an OP airdrop?

No. OP is the governance token of the Optimism Collective, at 0x4200000000000000000000000000000000000042, and creating a token gives you none of it and no vote in that ecosystem. Yours is a new ERC-20 with its own address. Both fees are paid in ETH, so you never need OP.

Is OP Mainnet the network my wallet calls Optimism?

Yes. Optimism renamed its layer 2 network OP Mainnet, and many apps, Tokenry included, still call it Optimism. Both names mean chain ID 10. On connect, the tool asks your wallet to switch, and a wallet that has never used it gets an add-network prompt.

Why does the OP Mainnet network fee follow Ethereum's data price?

Because the network is an optimistic rollup built on the OP Stack, and it posts every transaction's data to Ethereum. Optimism's fee docs list an L1 data fee for that, beside the execution gas fee. The data fee rises with Ethereum's data price and the transaction's compressed size, so a larger Advanced contract pays more.

Which contract deploys my token on OP Mainnet?

It comes from 0xA8381F3aD68A6FE38e12D09C99f704Ea2f43D29f, the factory Tokenry uses on Optimism. Its source is verified on OP Mainnet Etherscan, so before you connect a wallet you can read how it deploys tokens and the fees it charges. Tokenry submits your token's own source there after deployment.

Is my token a SuperchainERC20?

No, it is a single-chain ERC-20. A SuperchainERC20 needs cross-chain mint and burn functions and one address on every Superchain network, and this contract has neither. On another blockchain it would be a separate token at a new address. Optimism's docs also say the Standard Bridge does not support fee-on-transfer tokens, so keep a tax token off it.

Velodrome or Uniswap for a new Optimism token?

Uniswap, the only DEX Tokenry's pool tool supports, with v2, v3 or v4 pools against ETH, native USDC or a pasted token. Velodrome leads Optimism's DEX volume, per DefiLlama; the tool cannot open pools there. By default, buy and sell taxes apply only on the V2 ETH pair created at deploy. With a transfer tax set, keep the token out of v3 and v4 pools, where sells fail.

If I bridge ETH in, how soon can I take it back to Ethereum?

Deposits through the official bridge take about 1 to 3 minutes, Optimism's docs say. A withdrawal through it starts on Optimism, is proven on Ethereum and finalizes there 7 days after the proof, so bridge in only what you plan to spend.

Is OP Sepolia supported for a trial run?

No. Tokenry's Optimism tool runs on mainnet only. OP Sepolia is a separate network, ID 11155420, that the tool never connects to. Each token you create is a live mainnet contract, and its name, symbol and decimals are fixed at deployment.

Can holders vote with the token in a DAO?

Yes, in governance votes that count wallet balances off-chain. The contract has no ERC20Votes or Permit extension, so holders cannot delegate votes to an on-chain Governor contract. Polls that read each wallet's balance at a chosen block still work for DAO decisions.

The details

More about the Optimism Token Creator

01

An OpenZeppelin ERC-20, owned by the wallet that signs

As an ERC20 token generator for Optimism, Tokenry fills a standard contract from OpenZeppelin's open-source library with your settings, and you deploy it through Tokenry's factory from your own wallet. The full supply goes to that wallet, which owns the contract until you renounce ownership. Tokenry is non-custodial and never holds your keys or your tokens.

Only that library carries an audit; the tax, limit and mint code Tokenry adds on top of it does not.

A Standard token has no tax, limit or minting settings. If you later renounce ownership, that step is permanent, so do it once the token's settings are final.

02

Advanced features and what holders would notice

The Advanced card offers taxes, a holding limit, a burn option for holders, and minting, which can stop at a supply cap. Each one is more code in the verified source and more bytes in the data posted to Ethereum. Each feature also has an effect that holders can see.

Taxes take up to 20% of each buy, sell or wallet-to-wallet transfer, each rate set on its own. One split, shared by all three taxes, divides the tax between burning, the pool's liquidity and as many as 10 fee wallets, which can receive ETH from the contract's swap or the token itself. The owner can change the rates later, never above 20%. Holders would see that as fewer tokens arriving from a trade.

A holding limit stops any wallet except the deploying wallet from holding more than a set share of supply, and that share can be no lower than 0.5%. A holder would see a buy fail if it crossed the limit. Minting lets the owner create new tokens, so holders see the supply grow, and a supply cap sets the ceiling that minting can never pass. Holders can destroy their own tokens if the burn option is on.

03

What to do next, in order

After the deploy confirms, open trading first. The Optimism pool creator charges a 0.002 ETH fee plus the network fee to start a Uniswap pool for your token, the same fee as each later visit to add or remove liquidity. Then send tokens to holders with the multisender, which handles an airdrop or any token distribution at 0.0001 ETH per wallet, up to 400 wallets per transaction.

Owner actions such as changing tax rates, minting or renouncing ownership run through the Token Manager. It adds no Tokenry fee to those actions.
