How to Create a Crypto Token (SPL or ERC-20) With No Code

Creating your own crypto token used to mean hiring a developer or writing Rust and Solidity. Today you can launch an SPL token on Solana or an ERC-20 on Ethereum yourself, with no code, in minutes. This guide walks through how it works, how the Token Creator handles the hard parts, and what it costs.

What is a crypto token?

A token is a digital asset issued on an existing blockchain, rather than a coin with its own chain. It can be a community memecoin, a utility token for a product, or a reward point. Because it uses an established standard, wallets and exchanges know how to handle it right away.

SPL vs ERC-20: which token standard?

SPL is Solana's token standard. It is fast and costs a few cents to launch, which is why most memecoins start there. ERC-20 is the Ethereum standard used across EVM chains, with the widest tooling and exchange support. iMintify supports both, so you pick the ecosystem your community already uses.

How to create a token, step by step

1. Set the identity. In the Token Creator, add your token's name, symbol, logo and social links.
2. Set the supply and chain. Choose the total supply and whether to launch as SPL or ERC-20.
3. Deploy. Sign once with your wallet. Creating a token costs 5 credits plus the network fee, which is cents on Solana.
4. Manage it. Use the post-deploy tools to airdrop, burn, mint more, or revoke authority.

Post-deploy tools you will actually need

The work does not stop at launch, and this is where most people reach for a developer. iMintify builds the essential tools in: airdrop by CSV to reward holders, burn to reduce supply, mint more when needed, and revoke mint and freeze authority. Revoking authority is a strong trust signal, because it proves you cannot secretly change the token later.

Make your token trustworthy

Buyers have been burned by rug pulls, so trust signals matter more than the tech. Revoke the mint and freeze authority, lock liquidity, and let the Anti-Rug Badge show a high score based on eight automated checks. iMintify also gives your token a public page with a Buy button wired to DEXs like Jupiter, Raydium or Uniswap, plus an AI-generated logo and banner, so it looks legit from day one.

How much does it cost?

Creating a token costs 5 credits plus the blockchain's own network fee. On Solana that fee is a few cents, so a full launch is cheap. There is no separate platform charge beyond the credits, and no subscription. Paying a developer to build and deploy a token instead can cost hundreds, before any trust tooling.

FAQ

How much does it cost to create a token?

Creating a token costs 5 credits on iMintify plus the blockchain's own network fee. On Solana that fee is just a few cents. Paying a developer to build one instead can run into the hundreds or more.

Do I need to code to make a token?

No. You set the name, symbol, supply and chain in a visual wizard and deploy with one wallet signature. No Solidity or Rust.

What is the difference between SPL and ERC-20?

SPL is Solana's token standard, which is fast and cheap. ERC-20 is the Ethereum standard with the widest support. iMintify supports both.

How do I make my token trustworthy?

Revoke the mint and freeze authority, lock liquidity, and let the Anti-Rug Badge show a high score. iMintify builds these into the flow and gives your token a public page with a Buy button.

Can I airdrop my token after launch?

Yes. Upload a CSV of wallet addresses and the built-in airdrop tool sends your token to all of them at once, alongside burn, mint and revoke-authority tools.
