How much does it cost to create an ERC-20 token on Ethereum?

Creating costs 5 credits on iMintify, and you pay Ethereum's gas fee to deploy, which varies with demand. If gas is a concern, the same ERC-20 standard is far cheaper on Polygon, Base or BNB.

Where do Ethereum tokens trade?

On Uniswap and other Ethereum DEXs, plus centralised exchanges for larger projects. iMintify gives your token a public page with a Buy button pointed at Uniswap.

Is Ethereum worth the higher gas for a token?

For serious projects that want the deepest liquidity and the most trust, yes. For quick or low-budget launches, a layer-2 or Solana gives you more room.

How to Create an ERC-20 Token on Ethereum (No Code)

iMintify· Published June 30, 2026· Updated July 27, 2026

Ethereum is the most established chain for tokens, with the deepest liquidity, the widest exchange support and the most trust. It costs more in gas than newer chains, but for a serious ERC-20 that reach is worth it. Here is how to create an ERC-20 token on Ethereum with no code, using iMintify.

Why launch a token on Ethereum?

Liquidity and credibility. Ethereum has the most active traders, the deepest Uniswap pools, and the easiest path to centralised exchange listings. A token on Ethereum signals you are building for the long term. The trade-off is gas, which rises with network demand, so timing and budget matter.

How to create an ERC-20 token on Ethereum, step by step

Set the identity. In the Token Creator, add name, symbol, logo and socials.
Choose ERC-20 on Ethereum. Set the total supply and any options.
Deploy to your wallet. Sign with MetaMask. The audited token contract lands in your wallet.
Add liquidity and controls. List on Uniswap, then use the post-deploy tools to airdrop, burn or revoke authority.

Building trust on Ethereum

Even on Ethereum, buyers check for rugs. Revoke mint and freeze authority, lock liquidity, and show a high Anti-Rug score. iMintify writes these into the flow and gives you a public token page with a Uniswap Buy button.

Ethereum vs cheaper chains

If Ethereum gas is too high, the same ERC-20 works on Polygon and Base for cents, or launch an SPL token on Solana. For retail memecoin volume, see BNB Chain.
