How to Create a Meme Coin on Robinhood Chain (No Code, 2026)
Launch an ERC-20 meme coin on Robinhood Chain without writing code. Measured costs, the exact settings, and the liquidity step that actually makes your coin tradeable.
Already know you want to launch? No-code ERC-20 on Robinhood Chain, one signed transaction, flat fee.
If you are looking up how to create a meme coin on Robinhood Chain, the useful part of the answer is not the click path — it is that the chain is two months old and almost empty. Robinhood launched the public mainnet on July 1, 2026, and when we counted the Uniswap V3 pools chain-wide from the factory's own event logs on August 26 we found 6,195. Not 6,195 today — 6,195 in total, ever. Every established chain worth launching on passed that number years ago.
This guide is written from the other side of the tooling. We wrote and deployed the contracts Alchemii runs on this chain, then created real tokens and a real liquidity pool through them on mainnet, and every number below is a measurement rather than an estimate. Where a figure came from a vendor page we say so; where we read it off the chain ourselves we give you the method so you can repeat it.

What Robinhood Chain actually is
Robinhood Chain is an Ethereum Layer 2 built by Robinhood Markets on the Arbitrum stack. Robinhood's launch announcement put the mainnet live on July 1, 2026, alongside tokenized stock trading in more than 120 countries and a DeFi suite. CoinDesk covered the rollout the same day.
Three properties of the chain matter for anyone launching a coin, and all three come straight from the official developer documentation:
- It is permissionless. The docs are explicit: "Anyone can interact with the network, build applications, and deploy smart contracts." You do not need Robinhood's approval to deploy a token.
- It is fully EVM-compatible. "Smart contracts written in Solidity or Vyper deploy without modification." A standard OpenZeppelin ERC-20 works unchanged, which is why a no-code factory is possible here at all.
- Gas is ETH. There is no separate chain token to acquire. You do need ETH on Robinhood Chain — funding your Ethereum mainnet wallet does nothing for a deployment here.
Uniswap v2, v3, v4 and UniswapX plus Chainlink oracles were live from day one, which is the part that makes a meme coin viable: a token needs a venue, and the venue already exists.
The block-time reading above is worth a sentence, because it is the one vendor claim in this guide we could check independently. Robinhood's materials describe 100 ms blocks. We pulled the timestamps of two blocks 10,000 apart and got 1,010 seconds, which is 101 ms per block. The documented figure holds.
Is it actually early? Here is the number
"You're early" is the oldest claim in meme coins, so we replaced it with a count. Uniswap V3 emits a PoolCreated event every time a new trading pair is opened. We scanned the entire block history of the chain against the V3 factory at 0x1f7d7550B1b028f7571E69A784071F0205FD2EfA and totalled those events:
- 6,195 pools, chain-wide, all time. Every trading pair that has ever existed on Robinhood Chain.
- 549 of them appeared in the most recent 500,000 blocks — roughly the last 14 hours at 101 ms per block. So the chain is filling up, and quickly.
Read that honestly in both directions. Low pool count means little competition for attention and a real chance that a good meme becomes the meme on this chain. It also means thin liquidity, fewer traders, and no established discovery culture — a coin here will not be found by accident the way one on a mature chain might be. Being early is an opportunity and a distribution problem at the same time.
How much it costs to create a meme coin on Robinhood Chain
Hiring a developer to write and deploy a custom ERC-20 is the baseline this replaces, and it is a real cost — a Solidity contract plus testing plus deployment is billable work. A factory removes that entirely: the contract is already written, already tested, already deployed, and you pay a flat fee to have it deploy an instance for you.
Here is the full price list, read from the factory's public getters on 26 August 2026:
| What you are configuring | Service fee | Plus gas | What it changes on chain |
|---|---|---|---|
| Plain fixed-supply token | 0.01 ETH | ~0.000056 ETH | No owner at all — nothing to mint, pause, or tax |
| + Burnable | +0.01 ETH | included | Holders can destroy their own balance |
| + Mintable | +0.01 ETH | included | Owner can create new supply, visible on chain |
| + Pausable | +0.01 ETH | included | Owner can halt every transfer |
| + Transfer fee (up to 25%) | free | included | A cut of each transfer, capped permanently |
| + Trading limits | free | included | Max transaction and max wallet caps |
| + Deflation (burns part of the fee) | +0.015 ETH | included | Supply falls as the token trades |
| Reflection token (its own template) | 0.025 ETH | ~0.00008 ETH | Holders earn a share of every transfer, no claiming |
| Liquidity pool — the step that opens trading | 0.01 ETH | ~0.0004 ETH | A Uniswap V3 pool; position NFT to your wallet |
Two things to notice.
Gas is almost free here, and that is unusual. Our two real mainnet deployments burned about 0.000056 ETH of gas between the creation and its confirmation, against a 0.01 ETH service fee. Gas was 0.6% of the bill. On Ethereum mainnet the ratio is frequently inverted. This is what an Orbit L2 at 0.026 gwei buys you.
The fee getters are live, not hardcoded in this article. The factory exposes creationFee() and featureFee(uint8), its owner can change them, and the number your wallet asks you to sign is read from the contract immediately before signing rather than from a page. Treat the table as a snapshot and trust the wallet prompt.
How to create a meme coin on Robinhood Chain, step by step
1. Fund an EVM wallet with ETH on Robinhood Chain. MetaMask, Rabby, or any WalletConnect wallet works. Add the network using chain ID 4663; Robinhood's connection docs list the official RPC endpoints and name robinhoodchain.blockscout.com as the block explorer. You need ETH on this chain, not on L1.
2. Open the Robinhood Chain token creator and connect. The page reads your fee from the live contract, so the total you see is the total you will sign.
3. Name the coin. The name and ticker are permanent after deployment. Pick something that survives being repeated by a stranger — a meme that needs explaining is a meme that stops travelling.
4. Set supply and decimals. The form defaults to 1,000,000,000 supply and 18 decimals, which are the conventional ERC-20 memecoin values; 18 decimals is the ERC-20 standard default and every EVM wallet renders it correctly. Change supply if your distribution maths calls for it — the number itself does not affect price, only the price per token.
5. Choose which powers the token will have — or none. This is the decision that matters most, and the next section covers it properly.
6. Sign once. One transaction pays the service fee and deploys the contract. The full supply lands in your connected wallet. There is no backend custody step and no administrator mint function on the plain template.
7. Open a liquidity pool. Your coin is not tradeable yet. See below — this is not an optional extra.
Which token properties to switch on
Most guides list these as features. They are better understood as things your buyers will look up, because every one of them is readable on chain by anyone with a block explorer.
Burnable (+0.01 ETH) — lets holders destroy their own tokens. Harmless: it grants the owner nothing, and it is the one power here that no buyer objects to.
Mintable (+0.01 ETH) — lets the owner create new supply at any time. This is dilution risk, and a careful buyer will find it. Justify it or leave it off.
Pausable (+0.01 ETH) — lets the owner halt every transfer. From a holder's seat this is the ability to trap them mid-position. Leave it off for a meme coin.
Transfer fee (free, up to 25%) — takes a cut of every transfer between non-exempt wallets. Useful for funding a treasury, and the reason a lot of tokens are unsellable. On this template the combined fee is capped at 25% permanently: the ceiling is a constant checked both in the constructor and in the setter, so it cannot be raised into a honeypot after buyers arrive. That is a code-level guarantee, not a promise — read the verified source and confirm it.
Trading limits (free) — a max transaction size and a max wallet balance. Genuine anti-whale utility, with one operational catch: your liquidity pool must be exempted from the wallet cap after launch, or the pool cannot hold its side of the pair.
Deflation (+0.015 ETH) — burns part of each collected fee, so supply falls as the token trades. Requires the transfer fee.
Reflection (0.025 ETH, separate template) — every taxed transfer redistributes a share to all holders instantly, no claiming. It is a different contract from the one above and cannot be combined with these toggles.
The honest default for a meme coin is all of them off. A token with no owner, no mint function, no tax and no pause switch is the easiest thing in the world to trust, and trust is the scarce input when nobody has heard of your coin yet.
Your coin cannot be traded until you create a pool
This is the step that separates a token that exists from a coin that trades, and it is where most first launches stall.
Deploying an ERC-20 creates the asset and hands you the supply. It creates no market. There is no price, no order book, no chart, and no way for anyone to buy — the token will not appear on a DEX aggregator or a scanner, because there is nothing to route through. What creates the market is a liquidity pool: you deposit your token on one side and ETH on the other, and the ratio between those two deposits is the opening price.
Three decisions here:
- How much ETH to seed. This is the real cost of launching, and it dwarfs every fee on this page. Thin liquidity means a single buy moves the price violently, which reads as a scam to anyone watching the chart. Seed what you can genuinely afford to have locked in a volatile pair.
- Which fee tier. The 1% tier is conventional for new meme coins — volatile pairs earn liquidity providers more per swap, and it is where traders expect to find a new token. 0.3% suits established pairs; 0.05% is for stablecoins.
- Whether to keep or burn the LP. Keeping it earns you a share of swap fees and leaves you able to withdraw. Burning it is a permanence signal that cannot be undone — and it gives up the reserves for good.
One thing that should be true of any tool you use for this: the position NFT belongs in your wallet, not the tool's. If a pool creator holds your liquidity position, it can withdraw your liquidity.
Two routes to a tradeable coin
| Route to a tradeable coin | When strangers can buy | Who sets the first price | Who owns the liquidity |
|---|---|---|---|
| ERC-20 + your own Uniswap V3 pool | As soon as you seed the pool | You, via your two deposit amounts | You — the position NFT is in your wallet |
| Pons bonding curve (third-party launchpad) | Immediately on the curve | The protocol's curve | Locked by the Pons contracts after graduation |
A direct Uniswap pool is not the only path. Pons is a third-party bonding-curve launchpad on Robinhood Chain: its factory at 0x7eD598BcEf8bd9Edd8C97A195C6d13f40801EC7e charges a 0.0005 ETH launch fee and, reading its live config, graduates a token to a locked pool after 4.2 ETH of real curve reserves accumulate. That is a genuinely different product — the curve prices your token for you and locks the liquidity at graduation, where a direct pool leaves both the opening price and the LP position in your hands.
Neither is "better." A curve removes the need to fund a pool yourself; a direct pool means you own the market you made.
Verify before you trust — including us
The reason to prefer a factory over a copy-pasted contract from a forum is that a factory's bytecode is fixed and public. Here is how to check ours, and any other:
- Read the factory on the explorer. Ours is at
0x6b6D348F16A4C399b3599Cd7FB0689A849a5c0Ac, verified on Blockscout, so the Solidity source next to the bytecode is the source that runs. - Look at tokens it has already produced.
0x977c27fcb0511B48724332F3FB8617bb8a716893is a plain fixed-supply token we deployed through it;0xe709717b350d78da9ce8c53eb2786d0ba19ce3c4is one with a 5% transfer fee and trading limits;0x4d13fc75192d5df982a7c1d7e43b53b6c1e388c5is a reflection token whosetotalReflected()getter currently reads 50 tokens distributed to holders. All three are readable right now. - Expand the instruction list before signing. Your wallet shows exactly what a transaction does. A plain creation is one transaction carrying six instructions — create the contract, initialize it, mint the supply to you, and transfer the service fee. If the count or the destinations do not match what the page promised, do not sign.
- Check that the fee is atomic. Our factory reverts the whole transaction if the fee payout fails, so a customer cannot pay and receive nothing. That is a property you can read in the source, not a support policy.
What this will not do for you
- It does not make anyone buy your coin. Deployment is minutes; distribution is the hard part and nothing on this page helps with it. In CoinGecko's study of 18.67 million Pump.fun tokens on another chain, 68.67% stopped trading on launch day — the tooling was never the constraint.
- It does not list you anywhere. Not on the Robinhood app, not on an exchange, not on a scanner's trending page. Robinhood Chain is a permissionless L2; deploying there associates you with Robinhood Markets, Inc. in no way whatsoever.
- It does not price your token. You do, with your two pool deposits, and the first trade will move it.
- It does not remove the risks you switch on. If you enable minting, holders carry dilution risk. If you set a transfer fee, every buyer pays it. Those are your choices and they are permanent or owner-controlled by design.
- It is not financial or legal advice. Issuing a token, promoting it, holding an allocation and earning fee income may all create obligations where you live.
FAQ
How much does it cost to create a meme coin on Robinhood Chain?
A plain fixed-supply ERC-20 costs a 0.01 ETH service fee plus gas. Across two real mainnet deployments the gas came to about 0.000056 ETH — roughly 0.6% of the bill, because the chain was running at 0.026 gwei. Optional powers add to the fee: burnable, mintable and pausable are 0.01 ETH each, deflation is 0.015 ETH, and the transfer-fee and trading-limit toggles are free. A liquidity pool is a separate 0.01 ETH.
Can I create a token on Robinhood Chain without writing code?
Yes. Robinhood's own documentation states the chain is permissionless and fully EVM-compatible, so a factory contract can deploy a standard ERC-20 on your behalf. You fill in name, ticker, supply and decimals, connect an EVM wallet, and sign one transaction covering both the fee and the deployment. No Solidity, no CLI, no compiler.
Is my Robinhood Chain token tradeable as soon as it is created?
No, and this is the most common misunderstanding. Deploying an ERC-20 creates the asset and sends the whole supply to your wallet, but it creates no market. Nobody can buy or sell it and it will not appear on any DEX until you open and seed a liquidity pool. That is a second transaction, and it is where you set the opening price.
What wallet do I need for Robinhood Chain?
Any EVM wallet — MetaMask, Rabby, or anything WalletConnect-compatible. The chain uses ETH for gas on chain ID 4663, so you need ETH on Robinhood Chain specifically. A wallet holding only Ethereum mainnet ETH cannot pay for a deployment here.
Should I make my meme coin mintable or pausable?
Usually not. Both powers are readable on chain by anyone, and experienced buyers treat a live mint authority or a pause switch as a reason to walk away, because either lets the owner dilute or freeze them. The exception is a token with genuine future emissions or a real compliance need. If you have neither, a token with no owner at all is the stronger trust signal.
How high can the transfer fee on a Robinhood Chain token go?
On this template the combined transfer fee is capped at 25% permanently — the constant is enforced in the constructor and in the setter, so an owner cannot raise it past that ceiling after launch. An uncapped, owner-mutable transfer fee is the most common honeypot design: the fee goes to near 100% once buyers are in and nobody can sell.
Is Robinhood Chain the same thing as the Robinhood app?
No. Robinhood Chain is a permissionless Arbitrum Orbit L2 that anyone can deploy contracts on. Deploying a token there does not list it in the Robinhood brokerage app, does not associate it with Robinhood Markets, Inc., and grants no endorsement. Alchemii is an independent developer tool and is not affiliated with Robinhood.

The chain is two months old and has 6,195 pools on it. That will not be true for long, and the coins people remember on any chain are the ones that showed up before the space got crowded. If your meme, your ticker and your seed liquidity are ready, create your token on Robinhood Chain →, then open the pool in the same sitting so it can actually trade.
Your ERC-20 can be live on Robinhood Chain in one transaction
One signed transaction pays the service fee, deploys the contract and sends you the entire supply — with no backend custody and no administrator mint function unless you deliberately ask for one. Then open a Uniswap pool so the coin can actually be bought, and the position NFT stays in your wallet.
