How to Create a TRON Token (TRC-20): Step-by-Step
The complete no-code walkthrough: from naming your token to a verified TRC-20 contract live on TRON.
Updated June 2026 · TronTokenGenerator
Creating a token on the TRON blockchain used to mean writing a smart contract in Solidity, compiling it for the TRON Virtual Machine, and deploying it from the command line. Today you can do the whole thing from your browser in a couple of minutes — no code required. This guide walks through exactly how, what each setting means, and what to do once your token is live.
What you’ll need before you start
- A TronLink wallet — the most widely-used TRON wallet, available as a browser extension and a mobile app. Any wallet that supports TRC-20 and can sign TRON transactions will work, but TronLink is the smoothest.
- A small amount of TRX — enough to cover the creation fee plus a little network energy and bandwidth. We recommend holding at least the fee amount plus ~10 TRX of headroom.
- Your token details — a name, a ticker symbol, and a total supply. You can decide these in a minute using the tips below.
Step 1: Configure your token
Open the create-token page and fill in the form. Here’s what each field means:
Name and symbol
The name is the full, human-readable title (for example, “My Token”). The symbol is the short ticker shown in wallets and on exchanges (for example, MYT) — 2 to 11 uppercase letters or digits. Keep the symbol short, memorable, and ideally unique so it isn’t confused with an existing token.
Total supply and decimals
The total supply is how many whole tokens will exist. Decimals determine how divisible each token is — 6 is the TRON standard (the same as USDT on TRON). With 6 decimals, one token can be split into a millionth. Unless you have a specific reason to change it, leave decimals at 6. For more on choosing sensible numbers, see our tokenomics guide.
| Field | Example | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Name | My Token | 1–50 characters |
| Symbol | MYT | 2–11 uppercase, no spaces |
| Total supply | 1,000,000,000 | Whole tokens |
| Decimals | 6 | TRON standard |
Optional features
You can enable extra contract behaviours at creation. Each is explained in detail in our features guide, but in brief:
- Mintable — lets you create more tokens later. Useful for ongoing rewards, but a fixed supply is a stronger trust signal.
- Burnable — lets tokens be permanently destroyed, reducing supply.
- Pausable — adds an emergency switch to freeze transfers.
- Renounce ownership — makes the contract immutable straight after launch. See what renouncing means before you choose this — it’s irreversible.
Step 2: Connect your wallet and pay
Click Connect Wallet and approve the connection in TronLink. The page will show your address as the future owner of the token. When you’re happy with the preview, click Pay & deploy and approve the one-time 249 TRX payment in your wallet.
The payment goes directly from your wallet to our deposit address — there’s no account, no custody, and no card details. We verify the transaction on-chain before deploying, so you’re never charged without a deployment following.
Step 3: Receive your token
Once payment is confirmed, your TRC-20 contract is deployed to TRON and the entire supply plus full contract ownership are sent to your wallet. You’ll see the contract address and a Tronscan link immediately. That’s it — your token is live.
What to do after launch
- Add it to your wallet so it shows with its symbol and balance — see adding a token to TronLink.
- Make it tradable by adding a liquidity pool on a TRON DEX — see listing on SunSwap.
- Build trust by completing the security checklist and considering renouncing ownership.
- Grow a community — our marketing guide covers the realistic first steps.
How much does it cost?
Creating your token here is a flat 249 TRX, which covers deployment, network resources, every feature, and ownership transfer — no hidden fees. The only additional costs are optional ones you choose later, like providing liquidity. For a full breakdown, see how much it costs to create a TRON token.
Frequently asked questions
Do I need to know how to code?
No. The entire process is point-and-click; we handle the smart-contract deployment.
Is my token a TRC-20 or TRC-10?
It’s a TRC-20 — the smart-contract token standard supported by every major wallet and exchange. See TRC-10 vs TRC-20 for the difference.
Can I create more than one token?
Yes — there’s no limit. Each deployment is a separate one-time fee.
