Before you
hit deploy

The chain's own network fee (a fraction of a cent on most of them) and our platform fee, and the console shows every part before you sign. On Solana that fee is 0.5 SOL. On Solana, giving up an authority in the deploy adds 0.1 SOL each, and a chosen (vanity) address adds 0.01 SOL. Creating the token also costs about 0.02 SOL on chain, for its accounts' rent and Metaplex's own fee, none of it ours. On an EVM chain the fee is charged in that chain's own token, so it is a figure in ETH, POL or BNB rather than in SOL, and the review screen quotes the exact amount for the chain you picked.

A deploy fee priced per chain: 0.5 SOL on Solana, and on an EVM chain an amount in that chain's own native token. On Solana, each authority given up in the deploy adds 0.1 SOL and a chosen address adds 0.01 SOL, and the review screen lists each one. It's paid in the same wallet that signs the deployment and sent to DeployAToken's treasury in that session: on Solana as a separate, clearly labelled instruction, and on an EVM chain with the contract's creation, as its value. Either way the review screen shows it and it is never hidden inside the network-fee estimate. On testnet it's free, so you can rehearse the whole flow at no cost.

No. Fill in the fields, review the preview, and approve the deploy in your wallet. On Solana that is a few approvals in a row, one for each stage; on an EVM chain it is a single signature. Deploy builds and sends each transaction for you.

No. Your wallet signs every transaction, so we never hold your keys, native funds, or the tokens you create.

It depends on the chain. On Solana, none: the tool creates a standard SPL mint using Solana's own token program, writes Metaplex metadata and mints the full supply to you, so there is no bespoke code to trust. On an EVM chain a contract is unavoidable, so we deploy one standard ERC-20 built on OpenZeppelin, the same bytecode every time (on Injective, its MultiVM variant, which keeps balances in the chain's own bank module so native wallets see the token), submitted for verification on the explorer so anyone can read exactly what they are buying. It has no pause, no blacklist and no transfer tax, and the only owner power is minting, which you can give up during the deploy.

The standard token the deploy page creates has no transfer tax, no wallet or transaction limits and no pause switch, on any chain. What can still work against buyers is a power the creator keeps. On Solana, a kept freeze authority can freeze holders' token accounts, and the separate Tax Token tool adds a Token-2022 transfer fee of up to 100% that the creator can change later while they hold the fee authority. Revoking an authority makes its rule permanent, and Rug Check shows which authorities a token still has.

Pair it with the chain's own coin or a stablecoin in a liquidity pool. The Liquidity Pool tool does this on Solana (Raydium) and on the EVM chains it supports (Uniswap and the equivalent router on each). Once the pool exists, aggregators and explorers pick the token up automatically.

Yes. Flip the console to testnet and rehearse the whole flow with free faucet tokens before spending anything on mainnet.
