# Step-by-Step Guide: Create Your First BEP-20 Token on Teron

> A step-by-step walkthrough of the full token creation flow on Teron, from connecting your wallet to confirming your deployment on BNB Chain.

Creating a BEP-20 token on Teron involves a short, guided process that takes most people under five minutes. This page walks you through the complete flow from start to finish. If you want to go deeper on any individual step — like what each token field means or what happens during deployment — the links at the bottom of this page will take you there.

<Tip>
  Before committing to your final token parameters, it is worth taking time to decide on your token's name, symbol, and total supply. These values are set at deployment and cannot be changed after your contract is live on-chain. There is no penalty for pausing at the form and coming back — nothing is submitted until you sign the transaction in your wallet.
</Tip>

## The Full Creation Flow

<Steps>
  <Step title="Connect Your Wallet">
    Visit [https://teron.io](https://teron.io) and connect a BNB Chain-compatible wallet (MetaMask, Trust Wallet, or any WalletConnect-compatible wallet). Make sure your wallet is set to BNB Chain (chain ID 56). If it is not, Teron will prompt you to switch.

    See [Connect Wallet](/getting-started/connect-wallet) for detailed instructions.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Navigate to Create">
    Once connected, go to [https://teron.io/dashboard/create](https://teron.io/dashboard/create) or click the **Create Token** option from your dashboard. This opens the token creation form.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Fill in Your Token Fields">
    Complete the token configuration form. At a minimum, you will set:

    * **Token name** — the full name of your token (e.g., "My Project Token")
    * **Token symbol** — the ticker (e.g., "MPT")
    * **Decimals** — typically 18, following the standard BEP-20 convention
    * **Total supply** — the total number of tokens to mint at deployment

    You can also add a logo, description, and social links at this stage for your public profile page.

    For a full explanation of every field, see [Token Fields](/token-creation/token-fields).
  </Step>

  <Step title="Review Your Details">
    Before proceeding, review everything on the summary screen. Check the token name, symbol, supply, and any optional details. Once the contract is deployed on-chain, core parameters like the name and symbol cannot be changed.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Sign the Transaction">
    Click **Deploy**. Your wallet will open and show you the transaction details, including the estimated gas fee. Review the fee, then confirm and sign the transaction in your wallet.

    Teron does not receive any portion of this fee — it goes entirely to the BNB Chain network.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Confirm Deployment">
    After you sign, Teron submits the transaction to BNB Chain. Deployment typically completes within a few seconds. You will see a confirmation screen once the transaction is included in a block.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Find Your Contract Address">
    Your new token's contract address is shown on the confirmation screen and in your dashboard. You can use this address to look up your token on BscScan, add it to wallets, or share it with others.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Optionally Add Verification and Metadata">
    Your token is live and fully functional at this point. If you want to go further, you can optionally:

    * **Verify your contract** — publishes your source code to BscScan and adds a trusted checkmark (\~\$2 in BNB)
    * **Add On-Chain Metadata** — publishes your logo, description, and social links on-chain so wallets and DEXs can display them automatically (\~\$3 in BNB)

    Both of these are available from your dashboard after deployment. Neither is required for your token to work.

    For more detail on these steps, see [Deployment](/token-creation/deployment).
