Token Generator

Deploy a token on Base in seconds, no code required

The Token Generator lets you deploy an ERC-20 on Base from a small set of battle-tested templates, without writing or compiling any Solidity. Tokens deploy verified on Basescan and are immediately tradeable on Alien Base or any other Base DEX.

Last updated: July 6, 2026.

Cost

A flat 0.015 ETH per token mint, regardless of template. The fee is non-refundable and feeds the protocol operating budget.

What you can configure

Token Generator form

The dApp consolidates the underlying templates behind three toggles:

  • Minting support — turns the contract into a Mintable (or Mint/Burn) variant. Owner can mint additional tokens after deployment.

  • Burning support — turns the contract into a Burnable (or Mint/Burn) variant. Holders can call burn(...) to reduce supply.

  • Receive Fees — turns the contract into a Tax token. Buy/sell taxes are charged on trades and routed to a configurable wallet and/or auto-added to LP. Activating this disables Minting and Burning, and the Tax token requires liquidity on Alien Base for fee collection to work.

Configuration
Underlying template
Best for

Both toggles off

Simple Token

Memecoins, basic ERC-20 use cases. OpenZeppelin-based, no privileged owner. The safest pick for trader trust.

Mint on

Mintable Token

Farm tokens, DeFi rewards tokens, project ecosystems. Often considered a red flag by traders unless ownership is renounced.

Burn on

Burnable Token

Deflationary tokenomics. Anyone can burn their own tokens; reduces circulating supply.

Mint + Burn

Mint/Burn Token

Niche farming tokenomics.

Receive Fees

Tax Token

Memecoin tokenomics with built-in fees. Lineage traces to Toshi, Mochi, TYBG, and the original SafeMoon / Shiba pattern.

Factory contracts

All token deployments are routed through one of these factories. The factories themselves are non-upgradeable — once deployed, the templates they produce are immutable.

Orchestrator (entry contract)

The orchestrator is currently owned by the team deployer EOA. Migrating it to the DAO Multisig is a roadmap item — see the onchain control surface.

How to deploy

  1. Connect wallet (must be on Base, with at least 0.015 ETH for the deployment fee plus a small amount for gas).

  2. Fill in:

    • Ticker (max 10 characters, e.g., "AWESOME")

    • Name (max 30 characters, e.g., "Awesome Token")

    • Toggle Minting support and/or Burning support as needed.

    • Initial Token Supply (e.g., 1,000,000)

    • (Optional) Toggle Receive Fees to deploy a Tax token; fill in fee percentage and recipient wallet.

  3. Click Deploy Token. The token deploys and verifies automatically on Basescan.

Within a couple of minutes the token will appear on DexScreener, GeckoTerminal, etc., once you've added liquidity (see below).

After deployment

The token is live but illiquid. Typical next steps:

  1. Create a liquidity pool. New position on app.alienbase.xyz/vaults → V2 (full-range, simplest) or V3 (concentrated).

  2. Lock or burn LP to signal trust to early traders. (You can use Gempad, Team Finance, or burn to 0x…dEaD for a hard burn.)

  3. Add token info on Basescan. Logo, website, socials. Many other sites (DexScreener, MetaMask, GeckoTerminal) pick this up automatically.

  4. Renounce ownership if applicable. For Mintable and Tax templates this is a strong trust signal once you're done configuring.

The FAQ covers all of these in more detail.

Roadmap — Token Generator v2

Per the Roadmap, Token Generator v2 is the next major iteration. Themes:

  • Comprehensive launchpad with fair-launch tooling.

  • More templates and configuration combinations (e.g., Tax + Mintable simultaneously).

  • Native LP locking and trust scoring.

  • Tighter integration with Alien Base's analytics and Vaults pages.

Until v2 ships, the current Token Generator (v1) remains the recommended path.

See also

  • V2 Pools (legacy) — where most generated tokens get their first market.

  • Listing your token — DexScreener, CoinGecko, etc.

  • Audits & Security — note that the token-template factories rely on inherited audits (OpenZeppelin for Simple/Mintable/Burnable; the SafeMoon-lineage tax pattern is widely deployed but not formally audited at the Alien Base layer).
