Overview

Token Layer makes it easy to launch omnichain tokens that are instantly tradeable across multiple networks. This guide walks you through the token creation process.

​
Prerequisites

Before launching a token, you need:
1

Connect Your Wallet

Connect a compatible wallet to Token Layer at app.tokenlayer.network
2

Select Your Network

Choose which blockchain network you want to launch on (see Supported Networks)
3

Have Sufficient Funds

Ensure you have enough native tokens for gas fees and stablecoins if you want to provide initial liquidity

​
Token Launch Process

​
1. Access Token Creation

Navigate to the token creation page on Token Layer and click “Launch” or go to app.tokenlayer.network/launch.

​
2. Configure Token Details

Provide the following information about your token: Basic Information:
  • Token Name: The full name of your token (e.g., “Rocket Dog”)
  • Token Symbol: A short ticker symbol (2-10 characters, e.g., “RDOG”)
  • Description: Detailed description of your token and its purpose
Visual Assets:
  • Logo: Token logo image (PNG, JPEG, GIF, WEBP, SVG)
  • Banner (optional): Banner image for token page
  • Video (optional): Promotional video URL
Social Links (optional):
  • Twitter/X URL
  • Discord invite
  • Telegram group
  • Website URL
  • YouTube channel
Tags & Categories:
  • Add relevant hashtags to help users discover your token
  • Select appropriate categories (DeFi, Meme, Gaming, etc.)

​
3. Review & Deploy

  • Review all token details and settings
  • Approve the transaction in your wallet
  • Pay gas fees for contract deployment
  • Wait for transaction confirmation

​
4. Post-Launch

Once deployed, your token:
  • Is immediately tradeable on Token Layer’s launchpad
  • Appears in token listings
  • Can be discovered by users
  • Starts earning you creator fees

​
Token Graduation

When your token reaches the graduation threshold:
  1. Automatic Migration: Token liquidity automatically migrates to Uniswap V3, PancakeSwap, or Meteora (depending on network)
  2. Broader Access: Token becomes available on major DEXes
  3. Market-Driven Pricing: Price discovery shifts from bonding curve to market forces
  4. Continued Earnings: You continue earning creator fees from all trades

​
Best Practices

Clear Vision

Have a clear purpose and value proposition for your token

Strong Branding

Use high-quality logos and compelling descriptions

Community Building

Build a community before and after launch

Transparent Communication

Be transparent about tokenomics and roadmap

​
Test Before Mainnet

Test your token launch on testnet first! Visit app-testnet.tokenlayer.network to practice without real funds.
See Testnet Guide for details on testing.

​
API Integration

You can also create tokens programmatically using the Token Layer API:
