How to Create a Token on Arbitrum [No Code]
We’ll walk through a dApp that lets you create a token on Arbitrum without writing code. It’s Arbitrum Token Creator by Smithii, an audited tool with an intuitive interface for generating your token in under 1 minute for just 0.01 ETH.
By inheriting ERC20’s security guarantees, Arbitrum provides a fast, secure ecosystem with a large base of users and the added benefit of lower transaction fees.
Let’s go step by step through creating a ERC20 token on Arbitrum, after covering a few key concepts first.
How to Create a ERC20 token on Arbitrum
ERC20 is a technical standard for creating fungible assets on the Ethereum blockchain with a shared rule set that helps those assets work properly on-chain.
Ethereum was the first blockchain to support digital assets like tokens and NFT, but its high fees opened the door for new blockchains that copy its standards while offering much lower fees. These are known as ERC20 layer 2 networks.
The Arbitrum blockchain is a ERC20 layer 2, which means that in our case, it lets you create a ERC20 token.
Why Create a token on Arbitrum?
Its layer 2 ECR20 standards, low costs, lighter network congestion, and current growth phase make creating a token on Arbitrum a high-value option when choosing which crypto ecosystem to launch our token in.
Tokens created on the Arbitrum blockchain can be used for many things. Here are a few worth highlighting:
- Payment currency
- Contract execution
- Swaps
- Governance
- Equity ownership
- Meme Coin
How much does it cost to create a token on Arbitrum?
To create a token on Arbitrum, you need to create a smart contract, essentially code that lives on the blockchain as a base for a specific digital asset, in this case a token. Behind the token there is a smart contract, and building it requires coding knowledge.
Hiring a developer to create a smart contract can get expensive, usually over U$D 200. That is why the online solutions offered by the Smithii tool suite make the crypto ecosystem more accessible, letting anyone create their own token with no coding knowledge for just 0.01 ETH.
In short, the dApp we’ll use is called Arbitrum Token Creator. It works as a smart contract generator and costs just 0.01 ETH to use.
How to create a Arbitrum Token step by step
To create a Arbitrum Token, go to the Arbitrum Token Creator tool from Smithii Tools (https://tools.smithii.io/token-creator/arbitrum), which lets you create the token without writing code.
- Connect your wallet
- Enter the name and symbol you want for your token.
- Set the supply for your token.
- Click Create Token, approve the transaction, and wait for your token to show up in your wallet.
If you want more control, you can use advanced options when creating your Arbitrum Token, including tax settings, airdrop mode, anti bot, and anti whale.
Under “Tax”, you can choose the fee you want to keep from each transaction involving your token and set the wallet address that will receive those transaction fees.
When you enable “Airdrop Mode”, users will not be able to send or trade your token until you turn it off.
With “Anti Bot”, you can limit what snipers and bots can do around the liquidity pool of your token, since it limits the amount of time required between transactions from each wallet.
“Anti Whale” is a standout feature that lets you set a maximum amount that the same wallet can buy or sell, a time limit between buy/sell transactions from the same wallet, a cap on how many tokens a wallet can hold, and best of all, the total number of days the anti whale mechanism stays active, helping you protect your token from an exploit during the first days after launch.

What comes next? Launching a token on Arbitrum
Once you have generated your smart contract token with Arbitrum Token Creator from Smithii Tools, the only thing left is to create a Liquidity Pool on Uniswap, pair your new token with another asset such as $USDC or $ETH, and launch it to the market.
Before that, though, you’ll need to update your token image, logo, and extra details on https://arbiscan.io/. You can follow our guide on adding a logo, social media links, and other details to an token on Ethereum, since the process is similar because it uses the same protocol.
Once you have a liquidity pool, you can also use a volume bot on Arbitrum to boost your token volume and maker activity.
Listing Your Arbitrum token on Exchanges
If you want to list your token on Coinmarketcap and Coingecko, you’ll need to submit an application. Listing is completely free.
