How to Create a Token

This guide explains how to create a token smart contract using Mintly. The process is guided step by step and does not require programming skills. You can first review how the process works and see an example before starting a real deployment. All transactions are signed in your own wallet — Mintly never stores or requests private keys.

1. Open the Mintly bot

Open the Mintly bot in Telegram and press Start.

In the main menu, you can:

2. Choose a blockchain network

Select the network where your token will be deployed.

Mintly currently supports multiple EVM networks:

3. Choose a template

4. Enter token details

Mintly will guide you through several quick steps:

4.1. Enter the token name

A readable project name (e.g., “MyToken”).

4.2. Enter the token ticker

A symbol for your token (e.g., MTK).

Use 3–6 uppercase letters.

4.3. Enter the total supply

The total number of tokens created at launch.

Only numbers are allowed.

You do not need to enter decimals — ERC-20 tokens use 18 decimal places by default, and Mintly automatically applies them to your total supply. This ensures compatibility with all wallets and exchanges.

4.4. Owner wallet

The wallet that signs and confirms the deployment transaction automatically becomes the owner of the smart contract.

The full token supply is sent to this wallet, and it receives all ownership permissions.

5. Review all details

Mintly will show a summary:

If anything is incorrect, press Start Over.

If everything is correct, press Continue.

6. Confirm deployment and pricing

Mintly will display the fixed deployment fee converted into the native token of your selected network.

Press Open WalletConnect to continue.

7. Connect your wallet and pay

A WalletConnect window will open.

All actions are signed in your wallet — Mintly never has access to your private keys.

8. Deployment complete

Once the transaction is confirmed, Mintly will show:

The wallet that confirmed the deployment transaction is now the sole owner and issuer of the deployed token. The smart contract is permanent and cannot be modified or reversed by Mintly.
