Token Factory — launch an ERC-20 in 60 seconds

How to deploy a fully standard ERC-20 token on LitVM using the Token Factory. No Solidity knowledge required — just a few clicks and you’re live.

Why use the Token Factory?

You could write your own Solidity ERC-20 contract, audit it, and deploy it manually. Or you could use the Token Factory: a factory contract that deploys a standard OpenZeppelin ERC-20 implementation in a single transaction. The contracts are battle-tested OpenZeppelin code — the same library used by most DeFi protocols in production. The factory emits a TokenCreated event so explorers and dashboards can surface your token automatically.

Deploying your token

1

Go to Token Factory

Navigate to lester-labs.com/launch. Connect your wallet and ensure you’re on LitVM testnet.

2

Fill in the details

Token name: e.g. "My Project Token" Token symbol: e.g. "MPT" (max 8 characters) Initial supply: total number of tokens to mint at deployment Decimals: 18 (the standard — only change if you have a specific reason)

3

Choose options

Mintable: allow the deployer to create more tokens after deployment (recommended for most projects) Burnable: allow any holder to burn their own tokens (useful for deflationary mechanics)

4

Confirm and deploy

Review the fee (0.05 zkLTC) and click Deploy. Sign the transaction in your wallet. Your token contract is deployed instantly — the contract address appears in the confirmation and is automatically indexed.

Once deployed, your token is permanent on LitVM. Make sure you’ve verified the contract address is correct before sharing it. You can always find it again by searching your wallet address on the block explorer.
