How to Create A Cryptocurrency? A Complete Guide from Coding to Launch

At Web3 In this era, the technical threshold for creating Crypto Assets has significantly lowered. Whether you choose the mature Ethereum or the high-performance Solana, you can complete token issuance without writing any code. Here are the key steps and tool guide:

Choose Blockchain Platform

Two major mainstream options each have their advantages:

• Ethereum: Suitable for tokens that require strong compatibility (such as DeFi applications), adopting the ERC-20 standard and relying on the largest global developer ecosystem.
• Solana: Known for low fees and high speed, suitable for high-frequency trading tokens (such as Meme coins), with costs as low as 0.075 SOL (approximately 1.2 dollars).

Practical Creation Process (Example with Tools)

Ethereum Solution (Using Remix + MetaMask)

1. Prepare Wallet: Install MetaMask, switch to Goerli test network, and receive test ETH.
2. Import Contract: In the Remix online editor, paste the official ERC-20 code (GitHub open-source repository ConsenSys/Tokens).
3. Set Parameters:
   • INITIALAMOUNT: Total supply of tokens (e.g., 100 million = 100000000 + corresponding 0 for decimal places)
   • DECIMALUNITS: Precision (recommended 6–18 digits)
   • TOKENNAME and TOKENSYMBOL: Name and symbol (e.g., “CRYPTO”)
4. Deploy Contract: Connect MetaMask, pay Gas fees to complete on-chain deployment.

Solana Solution (Using Pump.fun)

1. Connect Wallet: Use Phantom or MetaMask.
2. One-Click Token Creation:
   • Fill in the token name, symbol, total supply, decimals, and logo in Pump.fun.
   • Pay approximately 0.075 SOL to complete the creation.
3. Key Permission Settings:
   • Immediately revoke “minting rights,” “freezing rights,” and “metadata modification rights” to avoid trust risks.

Key Operations After Creation

1. Liquidity Pool Creation (Raydium V2):
   • Pair SOL or USDC, initial liquidity recommended $200–500 USD
   • Set slippage protection (0.5–1%)
2. Destroy LP Token:
   • Destroy LP tokens using tools like Solauncher to permanently lock liquidity and enhance trust.
3. On-chain Verification and Exposure:
   • Check contract status on blockchain explorers (e.g., Etherscan/Solana Explorer)
   • Submit tokens to market platforms like DexScreener, Birdeye, etc.

Risk and Compliance Tips

• Technical Risks: If building a private blockchain (non-token model), it is necessary to design a consensus mechanism (PoW/PoS) and security architecture.
• Legal Compliance: If the attributes of the token involve securities, it must meet regulatory requirements such as those from the SEC, and it is advisable to consult legal experts in advance.

Conclusion

Creating Crypto Assets can be completed within 1 hour, from deploying contracts to locking liquidity. The real challenge lies in subsequent operations: stabilizing prices through market-making bots, promoting adoption via community airdrops and exchange listings. Take action now and issue your first coin using Pump.fun or Remix, and embark on your Web3 innovation journey.
