How to create a token on Ethereum Mainnet
Launch a production-ready token on Ethereum Mainnet using ChainUnified's Token Deployer. Follow this checklist to configure contract parameters, control gas costs, and publish verified metadata without touching Solidity.
- Pre-flight checks that keep your launch smooth across liquidity, approvals, and compliance.
- Step-by-step Ethereum Mainnet deployment workflow with recommended gas planning and security hygiene.
- Post-launch monitoring to track holders, liquidity pools, and investor communications.
This guide covers every step needed to deploy Ethereum Mainnet tokens with ChainUnified. Use it as a runbook for founders, treasury teams, and operations leads coordinating a launch across engineers, legal, and marketing.
Step-by-step workflow
- 1
1. Prepare launch requirements
Finalize tokenomics, treasury wallets, and required permissions. Collect branding assets, whitepaper links, and any compliance disclosures for investors operating on Ethereum Mainnet.

2. Configure the token in ChainUnified
Open Token Deployer and choose the Ethereum Mainnet network. Select the audited template tier, set name and symbol, define supply distribution, taxes, and wallet limits. Run the built-in risk checklist before proceeding.

3. Estimate gas and deployment timing
Use Gas Tracker to capture current base and priority fees on Ethereum Mainnet. Schedule deployment during low-volatility windows and configure alerts if fees spike before you sign transactions.

4. Deploy and verify the contract
Once parameters pass validation, deploy directly from ChainUnified. Source code and metadata verification with Ethereum Mainnet explorers happens automatically, giving holders confidence from block one.

5. Seed liquidity and monitor holders
Push liquidity to preferred DEX pools, lock LP tokens if required, and enable Token Scanner plus DEX Analytics to watch whale flows, suspicious approvals, and liquidity depth across Uniswap, Lido, EigenLayer, and Aave drive high-value flow and require precise gas timing..
Operational tips
- Always dry-run the deployment with a smaller supply on a testnet if your compliance team requires rehearsal evidence.
- Enable multi-sig signers or hardware wallets for treasury control prior to final launch transactions.
- Coordinate announcements so liquidity, marketing, and exchange outreach start once Ethereum Mainnet explorers show verification badges.

Frequently asked questions
What wallets can sign Ethereum Mainnet deployments?
Any wallet supported by ChainUnified (Metamask, Coinbase Wallet, WalletConnect, hardware devices) can sign. Ensure treasuries authorize the deployment wallet beforehand.
How do I update parameters after launch?
Owner-controlled parameters like taxes or wallet limits can be modified through ChainUnified’s management panel. Always announce governance decisions to holders before executing changes.
Can ChainUnified help with audit evidence?
Yes. Each deployment records configuration snapshots, explorer verification proofs, and holder analytics that can be exported for exchanges, investors, or regulators.
