How to Create a token on Eclipse: A Guide to Launching Your Project

If you want the best of Ethereum and Solana in one place, it is worth learning how to create a token on Eclipse. This Ethereum layer 2 (L2) blockchain combines the Solana Virtual Machine for efficient compute on every transaction, while operating inside one of today’s most liquid ecosystems, but with far lower gas costs.

The best part? You can do it right now without writing code using our dApp to create a token on Eclipse. The interface is simple, secure, and built to keep complexity out of the way. Keep reading.

How to Create a token on Eclipse: Step by Step

To create a token on Eclipse without writing code, go to Eclipse Token Creator. Our dApp lets you launch an Eclipse token with the metadata you want and the supply you need, so you can give it utility later.

Once you’re inside, follow these steps:

Connect a compatible wallet, such as Backpack (remember you’ll need $ETH to cover the gas fee).
Customize your token by adding its name, symbol, decimals, supply, description, and image.
(Optional) Add advanced features like Multi-Wallet Supply Distribution to split the token holdings from launch by adding 0.005 $ETH.
Use Revoke Authorities, a feature available through its SVM adaptation. You can permanently renounce Freeze, Mint, or Update authority. This increases token trust for future investors.
Click “Create Token” and confirm the transaction in Backpack.

That’s how you can create an Eclipse token without the hassle, without touching code, and in a way that’s simple and fast.

What are the advantages of the Eclipse L2 blockchain?

The Eclipse blockchain is a Ethereum L2 that lets you tap into all the benefits of Solana, from fast transaction processing to low fees, inside the Ethereum ecosystem. This makes it possible to use ERC-20 and SLP-20 tokens on the same blockchain. In short, these are the advantages of using Eclipse to create tokens:

Every transaction gets the security of Ethereum, giving the network the same level of resilience, immutability, and decentralization.
Eclipse supports ERC-20 and ETH assets natively, so they can interact with dApps without going through bridging flows.
As an early adopter, you have strong growth potential if the network takes off.

How much does it cost to create a token on Eclipse?

You can create a token with code. If you do not know how, you will need to hire someone who can help. That can cost more than $200 USD, depending on the type of token you need and the features you want to add. You also take on the risk of handing the creation of your Eclipse token to someone else.

A better option is to use a dApp like Smithii, where you can create a token quickly, easily, and at a low cost.

The Cheapest Way to Launch a token on Eclipse

The base cost of using the Token Creator from Smithii for Eclipse is 0.01 $ETH + gas fees, which is the minimum cost. If we add Revoke Authorities (0.005 $ETH), the total comes to 0.025 $ETH + gas fee. Compared with hiring an expert, the creation process is almost instant, and you do not have to trust anyone else with your project.

Is Smithii Safe to Use?

Yes. None of our tools store your data, so the only interaction is with the smart contract, which have already been audited before. Thousands of tokens have been created with Smithii, and hundreds of users rely on our platform and its wider toolset.

FAQ

At Smithii, we see a few questions come up often, especially when we launch a new tool like the Eclipse token creator. We gathered the most common ones below and answer them based on our experience at base.

What is a layer 2 blockchain (L2)?

A layer 2 is a secondary blockchain network built on base of a main network, or on top of a layer 1 (L1). In Eclipse’s case, it is built on Ethereum, using its network to make all transactions immutable and secure. Using an L2 improves blockchain performance and lowers maintenance costs while still relying on the base technology for network stability and security.

Which protocol does Eclipse use for its tokens?

Eclipse uses SVM for execution, but it is an Ethereum L2. That means both SPL tokens and ERC-20 tokens are compatible with Eclipse. Because of that, and because at Smithii we specialize more deeply in Solana, we have been able to adapt our token creation tools for Eclipse so you can create tokens without writing code.

When you create a token, can anyone trade it?

No. Creating an Eclipse token does not automatically mean it can be bought or sold. For that, you need to launch a liquidity pool on an Eclipse exchange. One example is Orca, which is the most popular option on Solana and now on Eclipse as well. Once you do that, you can pair your newly created token with another asset that already has an established value, such as $ETH or $SOL.

Conclusion

Now that you know how to create an Eclipse token, you can use more of our tools to manage and grow your project. This blockchain is unique because it combines Solana, currently the most used network by transaction volume, with Ethereum, the blockchain with the highest TVL today, according to DeFiLlama.
