Create BNB Token
How to create a BNB token?
BNB Smart Chain remains the most popular chain for retail-focused token launches: gas under $0.10, 3-second blocks, deep PancakeSwap liquidity, and direct exposure to over 100 million Binance users. BEP-20 is fully ERC-20 compatible, so any tooling that works on Ethereum works here, and the path from launch to wider exchange recognition is more direct than on most other chains.
What you'll do during deployment
- Connect your wallet - Trust Wallet has BSC preconfigured, MetaMask requires a one-time custom network add
- Switch to BNB Smart Chain - chain ID 56, native gas token BNB
- Configure the basics - name, symbol, initial supply, decimals (18 is BEP-20 standard)
- Pick features - typically mintable, taxes, anti-bot cooldowns, and max wallet caps for retail launches
- Deploy - sign and your BNB Smart Chain token goes live in about 3 seconds
Test for free on BNB Smart Chain Testnet (chain ID 97) using BNB from a public faucet before deploying to mainnet.
Bot protection matters more on BSC
Because BSC gas is cheap, sniper bots are unusually aggressive on token launches. Most serious deployments enable anti-bot cooldowns, max transaction limits, and the enableTrading function so liquidity can be added before swaps go live - giving real holders a fair entry against the bots.
Going live on PancakeSwap
PancakeSwap dominates BSC liquidity by a wide margin. Follow our PancakeSwap liquidity guide to create your initial pair, distribute to your community via the BSC multisender, then submit to CoinGecko and CoinMarketCap.

BNB Smart Chain is one of the cheapest EVM options - deployment usually costs under $0.50 in BNB plus a 20lab service fee shown on the summary. BNB Smart Chain Testnet (chain ID 97) is free using test BNB from a public faucet.
Functionally yes - BEP-20 is BNB Smart Chain's implementation of the ERC-20 standard, with the same balanceOf, transfer, approve, and totalSupply functions. The only difference is the chain it lives on. Tokens deployed by 20lab on BSC are BEP-20 by default and work with every ERC-20-compatible wallet, DEX, and aggregator.
No - deploying on BNB Smart Chain has no automatic relationship with Binance the centralized exchange. Binance.com listings require a separate application, due diligence process, and substantial trading history. What BSC does give you is exposure to over 100 million Binance users who hold BNB and use BSC dApps, plus a clearer eventual path to listing once your project has traction.
BSC has more aggressive sniping activity than most chains because gas is cheap. The standard protections are anti-bot cooldown (limits transaction frequency from new wallets), max transaction, and max wallet limits for the first hours of trading. Also use the enableTrading function so liquidity can be added before swaps go live.
PancakeSwap is the dominant DEX on BSC by a wide margin - that's where most retail liquidity sits. Walk through the full process in our PancakeSwap liquidity guide, which covers V2 pool creation, choosing the trading pair, and locking LP tokens. After your pool is live, distribute tokens to early supporters with the BNB Smart Chain multisender tool.
