Launching a token on Shibarium is accessible to both non-coders and developers. This guide covers the easiest no-code options and provides a full walkthrough for custom ERC-20 token deployment using Remix and Hardhat.

No-Code Launch

Use token launch platforms for quick, code-free deployment

Custom Development

Build and deploy your own ERC-20 token for full control

Best Practices

Security, community, and post-launch guidance
For most users: Use a no-code token launch platform if available. These tools handle technical details and provide user-friendly interfaces.For developers: Deploy a custom ERC-20 token using Remix or Hardhat for maximum flexibility and control.

​
No-Code Token Launch

As of now, Shibarium does not have as many no-code token launchers as Ethereum mainnet, but new platforms are emerging. Check the Shibarium dApp Store and community channels for the latest tools.
Always verify the reputation and security of any third-party platform before using it to launch a token.

​
Custom ERC-20 Token Deployment

You can deploy your own ERC-20 token on Shibarium using either Remix (no local setup required) or Hardhat (for advanced workflows).
1

Get Test BONE (for Puppynet)

  • Visit the Shibarium Faucet and request test BONE tokens for the Puppynet testnet.
2

Connect MetaMask to Shibarium

  • Add Shibarium to your MetaMask wallet:
  • For Puppynet, use the testnet RPC and explorer from the docs.
3

Write your ERC-20 contract

  • Go to Remix IDE.
  • Create a new file, e.g., MyToken.sol:
// SPDX-License-Identifier: MIT
pragma solidity ^0.8.0;

import "https://github.com/OpenZeppelin/openzeppelin-contracts/blob/master/contracts/token/ERC20/ERC20.sol";

contract MyToken is ERC20 {
    constructor(uint256 initialSupply) ERC20("MyToken", "MTK") {
        _mint(msg.sender, initialSupply * 10 ** decimals());
    }
}
4

Compile and Deploy

  • Compile the contract in Remix.
  • Select Injected Web3 as the environment and connect MetaMask (set to Shibarium).
  • Deploy the contract, specifying the initial supply (e.g., 1000000 for 1 million tokens).
  • Approve the transaction in MetaMask.
5

Verify and Interact

  • After deployment, your token contract address will appear in Remix and MetaMask.
  • You can now interact with your token (transfer, check balance, etc.) via Remix or add it to MetaMask.

​
Post-Launch Considerations

  • Token Distribution: Plan your tokenomics, distribution, and vesting schedules carefully.
  • Community: Build a community around your token. Use social media, Discord, and the Shibarium community channels.
  • Liquidity: Add your token to decentralized exchanges (DEXs) on Shibarium for trading.
  • Security: Consider a professional audit for your contract. Never share your private key.
