Create Arbitrum Token
How to create an Arbitrum token?
Arbitrum One is the largest Ethereum Layer-2 by total value locked, using optimistic rollup technology to inherit Ethereum's security while delivering transaction fees up to 97% lower than mainnet. The chain has the deepest L2 DeFi ecosystem - native protocols like GMX, Camelot, and Radiant alongside Arbitrum deployments of Uniswap, Aave, and Curve.
Arbitrum One vs Arbitrum Nova
Quick clarification: when people say "Arbitrum" they usually mean Arbitrum One (chain ID 42161), the main rollup where DeFi and 99% of Arbitrum's TVL lives. Arbitrum Nova (chain ID 42170) is a separate AnyTrust chain optimized for ultra-cheap gas at the cost of weaker data availability guarantees - it's used by social and gaming apps. For a standard token launch, deploy on Arbitrum One, which is what 20lab's Arbitrum token creation defaults to.
The 5-minute deployment flow
- Connect your wallet - MetaMask, Trust Wallet, or any WalletConnect-compatible wallet
- Switch to Arbitrum One - chain ID 42161, gas paid in ETH
- Configure the basics - name, symbol, supply, decimals
- Pick features - mintable, pausable, taxes, or ERC-2612 permit
- Deploy - sign transaction and your Arbitrum token goes live
Where Arbitrum tokens trade
Uniswap has the deepest general liquidity on Arbitrum; Camelot is the chain's flagship native DEX with concentrated liquidity and ve(3,3) mechanics that suit liquidity position optimization well. Add liquidity from the dashboard or via our Arbitrum add liquidity tool, distribute via the Arbitrum multisender, then submit for Arbiscan source code verification and to CoinGecko and CoinMarketCap.

Arbitrum costs a fraction of Ethereum mainnet - deployment usually runs a few cents to a few dollars in ETH, plus a 20lab service fee shown on the summary.
Arbitrum One (chain ID 42161) is the main Arbitrum rollup - this is where DeFi, NFTs, and 99% of Arbitrum's TVL live, and it's what 20lab always deploys to. Arbitrum Nova (chain ID 42170) is a separate AnyTrust chain optimized for ultra-cheap gas at the cost of slightly weaker data availability guarantees - it's used by social and gaming apps like Reddit's old NFTs. For a standard token launch, choose Arbitrum One.
Withdrawing from Arbitrum One to Ethereum takes about 7 days because of the optimistic rollup challenge period - this is a security feature, not a bug, and it applies to all optimistic L2s including Optimism and Base. For faster L2-to-L1 movement, third-party bridges and DEX aggregators offer instant withdrawals at a small fee. L1-to-L2 deposits, by contrast, finalize in about 10-15 minutes.

No - ARB is the governance token of the Arbitrum DAO and gives holders a vote on protocol-level decisions. It has no relationship with tokens you deploy on the chain. Your token is a normal ERC-20 with its own supply, holders, and economics. ARB just happens to live on the same network you're deploying to.
