Create a BEP-20 token on BNB Smart Chain in one transaction
Alchemii's BNB Chain token creator deploys a fixed-supply BEP-20 contract through the Alchemii factory on BNB Smart Chain mainnet (chain ID 56). You connect MetaMask, OKX Wallet, Binance Wallet or any other EVM wallet, fill in the name, symbol, decimals and supply, optionally attach a logo, and sign once. The factory creates the contract, sends the entire supply to your address and emits a TokenCreated event you can look up on BscScan a few seconds later.
There is no signup, no code and no custody: the transaction is built in your browser and signed by your wallet, and the fee is read from the factory contract rather than typed into a form. The base service fee is 0.05 BNB plus network gas, charged once. Alchemii takes no share of trading volume and has no admin key over your token.
Is BEP-20 the same as BNB Chain? What a BEP-20 token generator deploys
BEP-20 is the fungible token standard of BNB Smart Chain, the way ERC-20 is for Ethereum. BNB Chain (still widely called BSC) is the network; BEP-20 is the interface a token contract on that network follows. Because BEP-20 mirrors ERC-20, every wallet, explorer and DEX on BSC already knows how to display and trade the token you create here.
The contract this BEP-20 token generator deploys is built on OpenZeppelin's ERC20, ERC20Burnable and Ownable libraries. It has no mint function, no pause switch, no blacklist and no owner-controlled exemption list. Supply is fixed at deployment; burning and transfer tax can only be enabled at creation, so a buyer reading the verified source knows exactly which powers exist.
BNB Chain token creator options: burnable, transfer tax, renounced ownership
Three optional powers can be switched on before you sign. Each adds 0.05 BNB to the service fee, and each is permanent: none of them can be added to a token after creation.
| Option | What it does | Typical use | Fee |
|---|---|---|---|
| Token Burnable | Holders can destroy their own tokens, reducing total supply. Without it, burn calls revert. | Deflationary tokenomics, burn events, proving supply reduction on-chain. | +0.05 BNB |
| Token Tax | A 0.01% to 9% share of every transfer goes to a recipient address. Creator distributions and Alchemii liquidity operations are exempt. | Funding a treasury or marketing wallet from trading activity. | +0.05 BNB |
| Renounce Ownership | Gives up the owner role at creation, freezing the tax settings forever. The contract has no other owner powers. | Signalling to buyers that nothing can be changed after launch. | +0.05 BNB |
For a plain community or meme token most launchers leave all three off: a 0% tax, no burn and a live owner role that can still adjust nothing of consequence. If you enable tax, check that your DEX routing tolerates taxed transfers before seeding a pool.
How much does it cost to create a BSC token?
Every fee is quoted by the factory contract before you sign, so the number in the form is the number your wallet will ask for. Network gas is added by your wallet at the current BNB Smart Chain gas price.
| Step | Alchemii service fee | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Create a BEP-20 token (no options) | 0.05 BNB | Plus network gas. Supply is sent to your wallet. |
| Each optional power | +0.05 BNB | Burnable, transfer tax, renounced ownership. |
| Token with all three options | 0.20 BNB | Maximum service fee for creation. |
| Create a PancakeSwap V2 pool | 0.05 BNB | Separate transaction. Token and BNB deposits are your capital. |
| Remove or burn LP tokens | 0.05 BNB each | Separate transactions after the pool exists. |
The BSC meme coin cost breakdown walks through a full budget from creation to a funded PancakeSwap pool, including how much BNB to hold back for gas and deposits.
BSC vs Solana vs Robinhood Chain: which chain should you create a token on?
Alchemii is a no-code toolkit that runs a token creator on three chains. The mechanics are similar (connect, configure, sign once) but the fee unit, token standard, and default DEX differ.
| Chain | Standard | Alchemii creation fee | Default DEX | Wallets |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| BNB Smart Chain | BEP-20 | 0.05 BNB + gas | PancakeSwap V2 | MetaMask, OKX, Binance Wallet |
| Solana | SPL | About 0.22 SOL all-in (standard launch) | Raydium or PumpSwap | Phantom, Solflare, Backpack |
| Robinhood Chain | ERC-20 | 0.015 ETH + gas | Uniswap | MetaMask and other EVM wallets |
BSC suits launchers whose community already holds BNB and trades on PancakeSwap. The BSC vs Robinhood Chain launch guide compares gas, liquidity depth and buyer behaviour on the two EVM chains in detail.
After creation: PancakeSwap liquidity, BscScan and your first buyers
Deploying the contract does not create a market. Your token has no price until someone deposits it alongside BNB in a pool. Use Create Liquidity to open a PancakeSwap V2 pool; the ratio you deposit sets the opening price, and the LP tokens land in your wallet. Later you can remove liquidity or burn the LP tokens to lock the pool permanently.
Before you share the contract address, open it on BscScan and check the name, symbol, decimals and total supply match what you entered. Logos on BscScan and in wallets are submitted through those services' own forms; the on-chain metadata URI carries your image but does not push it into third-party token lists.
How to create a BEP-20 token on BSC in 6 steps
Deploy a fixed-supply BEP-20 token to BNB Smart Chain from your own wallet. The whole flow is one signed transaction, and Alchemii never holds your keys or your tokens.
- Connect a BNB Smart Chain wallet — Open MetaMask, OKX Wallet, Binance Wallet or another EVM wallet and switch to BNB Smart Chain mainnet (chain ID 56) when the creator prompts you. Keep the 0.05 BNB base service fee plus a little BNB for gas in that wallet.
- Enter the token details — Type the token name, a symbol of up to 8 characters, the decimals (0 to 18, 9 recommended) and the total supply. Optionally upload a PNG or JPEG logo; it is stored on IPFS and linked from the contract's metadata URI.
- Choose optional powers — Turn on Token Burnable, Token Tax (0.01% to 9% with a recipient address) or Renounce Ownership. Each option adds 0.05 BNB and is fixed at creation; leave them off for a plain fixed-supply token.
- Review the on-chain quote — The form reads the exact fee from the factory contract: 0.05 BNB with no options, up to 0.20 BNB with all three. Your wallet adds the network gas estimate on top.
- Sign and confirm — Click Create Token and approve the transaction. The factory deploys your BEP-20 contract and sends the entire supply to your wallet. Copy the contract address and check it on BscScan.
- Open a PancakeSwap V2 pool — Creation does not create a market. Use Create Liquidity to pair your token with BNB on PancakeSwap V2 in a separate transaction, then share the pool once it is funded.

BNB Chain token creator FAQ
How do I create a BEP-20 token on BNB Smart Chain?
Connect an EVM wallet on BNB Smart Chain mainnet, enter the token name, symbol (up to 8 characters), decimals (0 to 18, 9 by default) and total supply, and optionally upload a logo. Pick any of the three optional powers, review the fee the form reads from the factory contract, click Create Token and confirm in your wallet. The factory deploys the BEP-20 contract in that single transaction and sends the entire supply to your address; the contract appears on BscScan once confirmed.
Is BEP-20 the same as BNB Chain or BSC?
No. BNB Smart Chain (BSC) is the network, and BEP-20 is its token standard. BEP-20 mirrors the ERC-20 interface, so a token created here works with MetaMask, Trust Wallet, PancakeSwap and BscScan exactly the way an ERC-20 works on Ethereum. "BSC token" and "BEP-20 token" describe the same asset from two angles: the chain it lives on and the standard it follows.
Which wallets work with the BNB Chain token creator?
Any EVM wallet that can sign on BNB Smart Chain: MetaMask, OKX Wallet, Binance Wallet, Trust Wallet and other wagmi-compatible wallets. Select your wallet in Connect Wallet and switch to BNB Smart Chain mainnet (chain ID 56) when prompted; the form will not build the transaction on any other network. Keep enough BNB in that wallet for the service fee and network gas.
How much does it cost to create a BSC token?
The base creation service fee is 0.05 BNB plus network gas. Burnable, transfer tax and renounced ownership each add 0.05 BNB when selected, so a token with all three options costs 0.20 BNB in service fees. The factory contract quotes the exact total before you sign. Creating or adding PancakeSwap liquidity, withdrawing liquidity and burning LP tokens each cost a separate 0.05 BNB plus gas; pool deposits are your own capital.
Does BSC token creation include a PancakeSwap pool or a logo listing?
Token creation deploys the BEP-20 contract and links any uploaded image through its on-chain metadata URI. It does not create a market: a PancakeSwap V2 pool is a separate transaction and deposit, which you can open with the Create Liquidity tool. Wallets and explorers such as BscScan and Trust Wallet run their own logo submission processes, so a logo may need to be submitted to them separately.
What does renouncing ownership do on a BEP-20 token?
It permanently gives up the owner role at creation, so nobody can change the transfer tax rate or recipient afterwards. The contract has no mint function, pause switch, blacklist or owner exemption list to begin with, so renouncing removes the only remaining control. It is optional and not required for creating a liquidity pool. Review any tax settings before renouncing, because they become fixed forever.
How does the BEP-20 transfer tax work?
Choose a rate from 0.01% to 9% and a recipient address; that share of every transfer is sent to the recipient. It applies to all token transfers, not only DEX purchases. Creator distributions, the tax recipient and liquidity operations routed through Alchemii's liquidity manager are exempt. While you keep ownership you can change the rate (within the 9% cap) or the recipient on-chain; leaving the option off creates a token with a 0% tax that can never be enabled.
Can I change the supply, burnability or tax after my BSC token is created?
Supply is fixed at deployment and there is no mint function, so it can only go down if holders burn tokens on a burnable token. Burnable and tax-enabled are set at creation and cannot be switched on later. The only adjustable setting is the tax rate and recipient on a taxed token, and only while the owner role still exists. Decide the configuration before you sign, because the creator will not let you edit it afterwards.
