Why Avalanche?
Right now, the Avalanche blockchain is an attractive place to create and launch your own token. That’s thanks to its low fees and low congestion as a ERC20 layer 2 blockchain.
By inheriting ERC20’s security guarantees, Avalanche becomes an ecosystem worth exploring, even with fewer users than other blockchains.
Key tools for every phase of a token project on Avalanche
For every key need in the process of launching a token project on Avalanche, there’s a Smithii tool built to handle it. The main challenge on Avalanche and in the crypto ecosystem in general is that launching your project requires advanced programming skills to write a smart contract in Solidity (a programming language built specifically for ERC20).
Most people interested in Web3 end up stuck as users instead of builders because of the technical requirements. That’s where the Smithii Tool Suite comes in: it cuts through those complex processes and lets you create tokens on Avalanche with zero coding. We’ll walk you through the process and show you how to use them.
1. Prep work: wallet and tokenomics
Pick a wallet and plan your tokenomics
You need a wallet, which is an address that lets you interact with digital assets on the blockchain. Creating one is free, simple, and intuitive, but you’ll have to decide which one to use. The most popular choice is Metamask’s wallet, and it’s a solid starting point if you don’t have one yet. Then, before moving forward with creating your token, you need to think through its economics (tokenomics) carefully.
What are tokenomics?
Tokenomics, a blend of ‘token‘ and ‘economics‘, refers to the economic model behind a token. It covers factors like creation, distribution, supply and demand, incentive mechanisms, and burn programs.
Solid tokenomics are key to your project’s success. They lay the groundwork for long-term scalability and help attract investors.
How to design your tokenomics
Well-designed tokenomics can be the difference between success and failure for a token project on Avalanche. Use our tokenomics calculator and stop flying blind.
By the way, the face you see in the tokenomics image is Jorge, our CEO and Founder. We’re a fully doxxed team, and we know that bringing quality and transparency to the crypto ecosystem is a real edge. That’s why thousands of people choose us every day.

2. How tokens work on Avalanche
What is a Layer 2 token ERC20?
ERC20 stands for Ethereum Request for Comment, and 20 is its identifier. It’s the standard protocol for creating fungible tokens (transferable assets) on Ethereum and other EVM-compatible blockchains (Ethereum Virtual Machine), like Avalanche. Avalanche was built around EVM parameters, but since it isn’t the Ethereum mainnet, it’s known as a Layer 2 blockchain on Ethereum, and its tokens are called Layer 2 ERC20 tokens.
How much does it cost to create a token on Avalanche?
To create a token on Avalanche, you need to deploy a smart contract: code that lives on the blockchain as the foundation of a specific digital asset, in this case a token. Behind every token there’s a smart contract, and building one takes programming skills.
Hiring a developer to create a smart contract is expensive, usually more than 200 USD. That’s why the online tools in the Smithii suite help open up the crypto ecosystem, letting anyone create their own token without any coding knowledge for just 10 AVAX.
Basically, the dApp we’re going to use is called Avalanche Token Creator. It works like a smart contract generator and costs just 10 AVAX.
How to create a token on Avalanche
Whatever your project is, the first thing you need is to create a token on Avalanche. It’s the first step into the crypto ecosystem, and this guide shows you how to do it the easy way.
How to create a meme coin on Avalanche
Even though it’s a Layer 2 token ERC20, it’s worth understanding its specifics, how it works, and the key details to keep in mind if you want to successfully launch a meme coin on Avalanche.
Whichever option you pick, you’ll end up with your token or meme coin on Avalanche created and sitting in your wallet.
Keep in mind that creating a meme coin on Avalanche is the same as creating any token. The only difference is the humorous nature of the token meme; the creation process itself is identical.
3. token pre-launch on Avalanche
What to consider before opening a liquidity pool
Creating a Liquidity Pool on a DEX is the goal, but there are several strategic plays worth planning if you want to build hype around your token. Community building is key here: X (Twitter), Discord, Telegram; promoting your token on social platforms like YouTube; and running ad campaigns, X ambassadors, YouTube influencers, and articles on relevant crypto sites. The list of possible plays is huge.
The goal is to generate interest in your token and build buying pressure when you launch it on the liquidity pool.
Above we covered off-chain strategies, but you also have on-chain tools to promote your token. In this case, dApps like Avalanche Multisender for running airdrops are especially useful.
How to launch a token airdrop on Avalanche
As we’ve mentioned, beyond the marketing work behind your project, a airdrop on Avalanche can help you promote your token or meme coin:
Avalanche Snapshot Tool
Identify wallets holding a specific token and target the audience most likely to be interested in a airdrop of your own token.
Avalanche Multisender
Send your token or meme coin on Avalanche to multiple wallets at once to gain visibility and expand its reach.
4. Liquidity pools on Uniswap
How a liquidity pool works for a token Avalanche
A liquidity pool hosted on a decentralized exchange like Uniswap, the most widely used option in the Avalanche ecosystem. Uniswap is a decentralized exchange (DEX) built on EVM standards (Ethereum Virtual Machine), so you can create a liquidity pool for any token ERC20 Layer 2.
When a token is available inside a liquidity pool on a DEX, any user can buy and sell it.
Liquidity pools on Uniswap with Smithii
A liquidity pool is a pool of funds created by the devs of a token so users can buy and sell that token at any time.
This liquidity pool is set up with a token pair, combining the token in question with another that holds an established value, such as $USDC or $WETH. These token pairs get deposited into a DeFi platform like Uniswap to enable swaps.
This way, any user can buy tokens from this liquidity pool by depositing another token with established value into it. Likewise, any user can sell tokens by depositing them into the liquidity pool and receiving another token with established value in return.
How to create a liquidity pool on Uniswap
Pair your token with a token of backed value (WETH or USDC), create the liquidity pool, and list it on Uniswap in just a few steps. No hassle, no touching code.
Bots and whales: what you need to know about liquidity pools on Avalanche
One of the most important things to watch when launching a new liquidity pool for a token on Avalanche is sniper bots and whales. If you don’t take precautions, they can drain your liquidity (known as a token exploit) and wreck the project you’ve spent so long building. Here’s what you need to know:
Let’s break down how bots and whales behave on Ethereum. Since it runs on the same ERC20 protocol, this applies to any ERC20 layer 2 blockchain like Avalanche.

5. Post-launch promotion for your token project on Avalanche

In this phase, it’s time to double down on the marketing moves you ran during the pre-launch, like keeping airdrops active. You also have some extra plays available, such as listing your Liquidity Pool on Coinmarketcap and Coingecko, two platforms where thousands of users can discover your token.
Why run airdrops?
Let’s walk through the key ideas behind airdrops in this guide, so you understand how they work and get the most out of them.
