Prerequisites Before You Start
Before you begin the TRC20 token creation process, ensure you have the following ready:
TronLink Wallet
Install the TronLink browser extension (Chrome, Firefox, Edge) or mobile app (iOS, Android). This wallet will store your TRX and interact with the Tron blockchain.
At Least 300 TRX
The token creation fee is 300 TRX. We recommend having slightly more (320-350 TRX) to cover any additional network fees for the transaction.
Token Details Ready
Decide on your token name, symbol (ticker), total supply, decimals, and any optional features you want to include before starting.
Step-by-Step Token Creation Process
Follow these six simple steps to create your TRC20 token on the Tron network:
Install TronLink Wallet
Download and set up your TronLink browser extension or mobile app
Fund Your Wallet
Add at least 300 TRX to your wallet for the token creation fee
Connect to Tron Token Generator
Visit our platform and connect your TronLink wallet
Configure Token Parameters
Set your token name, symbol, supply, and optional features
Create Your Token
Click create and confirm the transaction in your wallet
Verify on Tronscan
Check your new TRC20 token on the Tron blockchain explorer
Step 1: Install TronLink Wallet
Visit the official TronLink website or your browser's extension store to download the TronLink wallet. Create a new wallet and securely store your seed phrase. Never share your seed phrase with anyone.
- Download from official sources only
- Write down your 12-word seed phrase
- Set a strong password for your wallet
Step 2: Fund Your Wallet with TRX
Purchase TRX from a cryptocurrency exchange like Binance, KuCoin, or OKX, then withdraw it to your TronLink wallet address. Make sure you have at least 300 TRX for the token creation fee.
Tip: We recommend having 320-350 TRX to ensure smooth transaction processing and cover any minor network fees.
Step 3: Connect to Tron Token Generator
Navigate to Create Tron Token section and click the "Connect Wallet" button. Your TronLink wallet will prompt you to authorize the connection. Approve the connection to proceed.
Configuring Token Parameters
When you create a TRC20 token, you'll need to configure several important parameters. Here's what each field means:
| Parameter | Description | Example |
|---|---|---|
| Token Name | Full name of your token | My Awesome Token |
| Token Symbol | Short ticker (3-8 characters) | MAT |
| Total Supply | Maximum number of tokens | 1,000,000,000 |
| Decimals | Divisibility (0-18) | 18 (standard) |
| Description | Brief token description | Utility token for... |
Pro Tip: Choose your token symbol carefully as it cannot be changed after deployment. Make it memorable and unique to stand out in exchanges and wallets.
Adding Advanced Features
The Tron Token Generator allows you to add powerful features to your TRC20 token:
Mintable
Create additional tokens after initial deployment. Useful for reward systems or inflationary models.
Burnable
Permanently destroy tokens to reduce supply. Great for deflationary tokenomics.
Pausable
Temporarily halt all transfers in emergency situations or during upgrades.
Blacklist
Block specific addresses from sending or receiving your token for compliance.
Transaction Limit
Set maximum transfer amounts per transaction to prevent large dumps.
Transfer Fee
Automatically collect a percentage fee on every transfer for treasury or burns.
