Create and launch a token or Meme Coin on Blast from scratch

You do not need any prior experience. We walk you through the whole process, from designing the tokenomics to getting your token listed on an exchange and bought by investors.

Key Tools to Create and Launch Your token or meme coin on Blast

For every major need in the launch process of a token ERC20 project, there is a Smithii tool built to handle it. The main challenge on Blast and across crypto in general is that launching your project requires advanced programming knowledge 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 barrier. That said, the Smithii Tool Suite was created to simplify those complex steps, letting you create tokens on Blast Chain without knowing how to code. We walk you through the process and show you how to use them.

Choose 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, although you will need to choose which one to use. The most popular option is Metamask’s wallet, and it is a solid starting point if you do not have one yet. Then, before moving ahead with creating the token, you need to think through its economy (tokenomics).

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.

Strong tokenomics are critical to your project’s success. They give you a base for long-term scalability and help attract investors.

By the way, the face you see in the tokenomics image is Jorge, our CEO & Founder. We’re a fully doxxed team, and we know that delivering quality and transparency in the crypto ecosystem is the kind of added value that makes thousands of people choose us every day.

On top of that, all our online tools are audited, fully secure, and backed by a support team available 24/7/365

What Is a Layer 2 token ERC20?

ERC20 stands for Ethereum Request for Comment, and 20 is its identifying number. It is the standard protocol for creating fungible tokens (transferable assets) on Ethereum and other EVM-compatible blockchains (Ethereum Virtual Machine), such as Blast. Blast was built around EVM parameters, but since it is not the Ethereum mainnet, it is known as a second-layer blockchain for Ethereum, and its tokens are known as ERC20 Layer 2 tokens.

How Much Does It Cost to Create a token on Blast?

To create a token on Blast, you need to deploy a smart contract, essentially code that lives on the blockchain as the 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 is usually expensive, generally over U$D 200. That is why the online tools offered by the Smithii 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 Blast Token Creator, and it works as a smart contract generator for just 0.01 ETH.

Whichever option you choose, you will end up with your Blast token or meme coin created and in your wallet.

Keep in mind that creating a meme coin on Blast is the same as creating any token. The only difference is the humorous nature of the meme token; the creation process does not change.

What to Consider Before Creating Your Liquidity Pool

Creating a Liquidity Pool on a decentralized exchange (DEX) is the goal, but there are a few strategic moves worth planning if you want to build hype around your token. Community building is key here: growing on X (Twitter), Discord, and Telegram; getting your token in front of people on channels like Youtube; and running promo campaigns with ads, X ambassadors, Youtube influencers, and articles on relevant crypto websites. The playbook is wide open.

The goal is to build interest in your token and create buying pressure when you launch it on liquidity pool.

So far, we’ve covered off-chain strategies, but you also have on-chain tools to promote your token. In this case, dApps like Blast Multisender for running airdrops become especially useful.

How to Run a Blast token airdrop

As we mentioned earlier, beyond the marketing actions tied to your project, running a airdrop on Blast can help you promote your token or meme coin:

Create a Blast Liquidity Pool token

We’ll create a liquidity pool hosted on a decentralized exchange like Uniswap, the most widely used option in the Blast ecosystem. Uniswap is a decentralized exchange (DEX) built on EVM (Ethereum Virtual Machine) standards, so you can create a liquidity pool for any Layer 2 token ERC20.

When a token is available inside a liquidity pool on a DEX, any user can buy and sell it.

Create a Liquidity Pool on Uniswap with Smithii

A liquidity pool is a pool of funds created by a token’s developers so users can buy and sell that token at any time.

This liquidity pool is configured with a token pair, combining the token in question with another token that already has an established value, such as $USDC or $WETH. These token pairs are deposited into a DeFi platform like Uniswap to enable swaps.

This means any user can buy tokens from this liquidity pool by depositing another token with an established value into the pool. In the same way, any user can sell tokens by depositing them into the liquidity pool and receiving another token with an established value in return.

Bots and Whales: What to Know Before Creating a Blast token liquidity pool

One of the biggest things to watch when launching a new Blast token liquidity pool is sniper bots and whales. If you do not take precautions, they can drain your liquidity (known as a token exploit) and wreck the project you had in mind. Here is what you need to know:

Let’s look at how bots and whales behave on Blast. Since it uses the same ERC20 protocol, the same logic applies to any ERC20 layer 2 blockchain like Blast.

Promote My Blast Liquidity Pool

At this stage, you need to double down on the marketing actions you used during pre-launch, such as continuing to run airdrops. You also have a few extra moves available, including listing your Liquidity Pool on Coinmarketcap and Coingecko, two platforms where thousands of users can discover your token.

You Can Now Launch Your token or meme coin on Blast

Congrats on making it to the end of this guide! You now have everything you need to create and launch a token or meme coin on Blast. You’ve covered why planning matters, how to create your token without technical headaches, and the key strategies behind a successful launch.

Along the way, you’ve seen guides that use online tools for different needs, from creating the token to its liquidity pool. All of these dApp are available in the smithii tools suite, built so anyone without prior experience can join the blockchain ecosystem not just as a spectator or investor, but as a project owner.
