Whether you are a Web3 developer, community operator, or a creator initiating a Meme revolution, understanding how to efficiently and safely deploy tokens on different public chains is an essential skill.
This article will introduce the basic process of issuing tokens on the two major mainstream chains, Solana and BSC, and conduct a technical comparison of the efficiency differences between traditional manual methods and modern tools, helping you get started faster and avoid pitfalls. 🚀
🟢 Part One: BSC (Binance Smart Chain) Token Issuance Process
BSC is an EVM-based chain, so its token issuance process is basically the same as Ethereum:
🔧 Manual deployment (Solidity contract method):
Write a Solidity contract that complies with the ERC20 standard.
Use Remix or Hardhat for compilation.
Connect a wallet (such as Metamask) to deploy on the BSC chain (remember to select the BSC network).
After successful deployment, obtain the contract address, which is the token address.
⏱ Average time taken: 30 minutes to 1 hour (depending on proficiency)
🧠 Development requirements: Medium, need to understand Solidity + compilation and deployment process
⚙️ Efficient tool method:
Token issuance tools (such as various Token Generators) allow you to create directly through forms:
Input name, symbol, initial supply
Configurable options for adding taxes, anti-bot mechanisms, Mint permissions, etc.
Click 'Create' to deploy
⏱ Average time taken: 1-2 minutes
🧠 Development requirements: Almost zero, suitable for non-programmers
🔵 Part Two: Solana Token Issuance Process (based on SPL standard)
The token issuance on Solana is completely different from the EVM system, using the SPL (Solana Program Library) system.
🔧 Manual deployment (CLI command method):
Install Solana CLI tools
Use spl-token tools to create tokens, for example:
Manually set permissions, configure freeze or mint logic (if any)
⏱ Average time taken: 20-40 minutes
🧠 Development requirements: Medium, needs to be familiar with command line operations
⚙️ Efficient tool method (supports Token2022)
Some tool platforms support graphical interface operations, allowing users to create with one click:
Supports new standard Token-2022 (supports tax, freeze, and other extended functions)
Can relinquish permissions with one click, meeting the requirements for complete decentralization
Also supports creating LP pools, OpenBook markets, and other derivative operations
⏱ Average time taken: 1-3 minutes
🧠 Development requirements: Very low, suitable for product managers, operations, and marketing roles
🔍 Comparison: Traditional vs Tool-based Token Issuance Methods
Project manual method (Remix / CLI) Tool-based method (Token Generator) Entry threshold medium to high Slow speed (30 minutes+) Fast (1-3 minutes) High control, fully customizable Depends on tool openness Error-proneness Easy to make mistakes Less (form validation) Suitable for Dev / technical Dev + non-technical personnel
🛠 The existence of tools is not to replace developers, but to help you save time on basic repetitive tasks, allowing you to focus on more important matters: token economic design, community operation, ecosystem building, etc.
It is recommended that developers or project parties try using tools during the testing phase to familiarize themselves with on-chain parameter structures; before going live, scripts can be used to redeploy the official contract for higher security and customization.
