Why Blast?
Right now, the Blast blockchain is a strong pick for creating and launching your own token. That comes down to its low fees and light congestion as a ERC20 layer 2 blockchain.
By inheriting ERC20’s security guarantees, Arbitrum offers an ecosystem worth exploring, even with fewer users than other blockchains.
Key tools for every phase of a token project on Blast
For every key need in the process of launching a token ERC20 project, there’s a Smithii tool built to solve it. The main challenge on Blast, and in crypto in general, is that launching your project requires advanced coding skills to write a smart contract in Solidity, a programming language built specifically for ERC20.
Most people who get into Web3 end up stuck as users rather than builders because of the technical barrier. That said, the Smithii Tool Suite was built to simplify those complex steps and let you create tokens on Blast Chain without writing a line of code. 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 out your tokenomics
You’ll need a wallet, an address that lets you interact with digital assets on the blockchain. Creating one is free, quick, and straightforward, but you’ll have to pick which one to use. The most popular option is Metamask’s wallet, and it’s a solid starting point if you don’t have one yet. Then, before moving on with the token creation, you need to think through your economics (tokenomics) carefully.
What are tokenomics?
Tokenomics, a mashup of ‘token‘ and ‘economics‘, refers to the economic model behind a token. It covers things like creation, distribution, supply and demand, incentive mechanisms, and burn programs.
Solid tokenomics is key to your project’s success. It gives you the foundation to scale long-term and helps pull in investors.
How to design your tokenomics
Well-designed tokenomics can be the difference between success and failure for a token project on Blast. Use our tokenomics calculator and stop flying blind.

2. How tokens work on Blast
What is a token ERC20 on Layer 2?
ERC20 stands for Ethereum Request for Comment, with 20 being its identifier number. It’s the standard protocol for creating fungible tokens (transferable assets) on Ethereum and on other EVM-compatible blockchains (Ethereum Virtual Machine), like Blast. Blast was built around EVM parameters, but since it isn’t Ethereum’s mainnet, it’s 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 foundation for a specific digital asset, in this case a token. Behind every token there’s a smart contract, and building one requires coding skills.
Hiring a developer to create a smart contract usually gets expensive, typically over 200 USD. That’s why the online tools in the Smithii suite make the crypto ecosystem more accessible, letting anyone launch their own token with zero coding for just 0.03 ETH.
In short, the dApp we’re going to use is called Blast Token Creator and works as a smart contract generator for just 0.01 ETH.
How to create a token on Blast
Whatever the purpose of your project, the first step is creating a token on Blast. It’s your entry point into the crypto ecosystem, and this guide walks you through it the easy way.
How to create a meme coin on Blast
Even though it’s a Layer 2 token ERC20, it’s worth understanding its specific traits, how it works, and some key details before successfully launching a meme coin on Blast.
Whichever option you go with, you’ll end up with your Blast token or meme coin created and sitting 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 meme token’s humorous angle; the creation process doesn’t change.
3. Blast Token pre-launch
What to consider before opening a liquidity pool
Creating a Liquidity Pool in a DEX is the goal, but there are several strategic moves worth planning if you want to build hype around your token. Community building is key: growing on X (Twitter), Discord and Telegram; putting your token in front of people through channels like YouTube; and running promo campaigns with ads, X ambassadors, YouTube influencers, and articles on relevant crypto sites. The playbook is wide open.
The goal is to generate interest in your token and create buying pressure by the time you launch it on the liquidity pool.
So far we’ve covered off-chain strategies, but you also have on-chain tools to promote your token. Here, dApps like Blast Multisender for running airdrops are especially useful.
How to launch a token airdrop on Blast
As we mentioned, beyond the marketing plays tied to your project, a airdrop on Blast can help you promote your token or meme coin:
Blast Snapshot Tool
Find the wallets holding a specific token and turn them into the ideal audience for the airdrop of your own token.
Blast Multisender
Send your Blast token or meme coin 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 on Blast
A liquidity pool hosted on a decentralized exchange like Uniswap is the go-to option in the Blast ecosystem. Uniswap is a decentralized exchange (DEX) built on the EVM (Ethereum Virtual Machine) standards, so you can create a liquidity pool for any Layer 2 token ERC20.
Once a token is live in a liquidity pool on a DEX, any user can buy and sell it.
Liquidity pools on Uniswap with Smithii
A liquidity pool is a capital fund created by the developers of a token so users can buy and sell it at any time.
This liquidity pool is set up with a token pair, combining the token itself with another that already has an established value, like $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.
How to create a liquidity pool on Uniswap
Pair your token with a value-backed token (WETH or USDC), create the liquidity pool and list it on Uniswap in just a few steps. No hassle, no coding required.
Bots and whales: what you need to know about liquidity pools on Blast
One of the most important things to watch when launching a new liquidity pool for a token on Blast 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 had in mind. Here’s what you need to know:
Let’s break down 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.

5. Post-launch and promotion of a token project on Blast
Promote my liquidity pool on Blast
In this phase, you need to double down on the marketing moves you used during the pre-launch, like keeping the airdrops going. You also have some extra plays available, like 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 core ideas behind airdrops with this guide, so you understand them better and get the most out of them.
