Deploy Your First Token
A step-by-step guide to deploying your first token on any supported blockchain using ChainPortal. No coding required.
Prerequisites
- A compatible crypto wallet (MetaMask, Phantom, Keplr, etc.)
- Native tokens for gas fees (use a faucet for testnets)
- Basic understanding of tokens and blockchain
Step-by-Step Guide
Connect Your Wallet
Connect a compatible wallet like MetaMask, Phantom, Keplr, or others depending on your target blockchain.
- Click the "Connect Wallet" button in the header
- Select your preferred wallet from the list
- Approve the connection request in your wallet
- Make sure you have some native tokens for gas fees
Choose Your Blockchain
Select the blockchain ecosystem where you want to deploy your token.

- Solana: SPL tokens with Metaplex integration
- Cosmos: CW20 tokens on Cosmos Hub, Osmosis, Juno
- SUI: Native coins using Move language
- NEAR: NEP-141 fungible tokens
- Aptos: Fungible Asset standard tokens
Configure Token Details
Enter your token information including name, symbol, supply, and optional features.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does it cost to deploy a token?
Costs vary by blockchain. EVM testnets are free (use faucet tokens). Mainnet deployments typically cost $5-50 depending on network congestion.
Can I modify my token after deployment?
Basic token properties like name and supply are immutable. If you enabled optional features like minting or burning, those remain available.
Do I need coding knowledge?
No! ChainPortal handles all the smart contract deployment. Just fill in the form and click deploy.
Which blockchain should I choose?
For testing, use any testnet (free). For production, consider your target audience, gas costs, and ecosystem compatibility.
