Introduction to ERC20 Tokens
ERC20 is the most widely adopted token standard on Ethereum and EVM-compatible blockchains. These tokens are interoperable with wallets, exchanges, and decentralized applications (DApps), making them ideal for various use cases.
Step-by-Step Token Creation Process
1. Token Basics Configuration

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Why does my token show me as the owner?
A: All ERC20 contracts initially assign ownership to the creator. You can optionally renounce this via the admin panel.
Q: Can I create liquidity pools on multiple DEXs?
A: Yes. Standard tokens support liquidity provision on any exchange pairing.
Q: Will this trigger security alerts during audits?
A: No. The template produces 100% clean contract code with no hidden functions.
Q: What assets can I pair in liquidity pools?
A: Any existing token (USDT, DOGE, etc.) can be paired with your ERC20 token.
