How to create a token on OpenHelix.

A step-by-step guide to launching a standard token on BNB Smart Chain or Solana using the OpenHelix Studio — no code required. Your wallet signs everything; OpenHelix never holds your funds.

Open the Studio

Before you start

What you need

A crypto wallet. MetaMask for BNB Smart Chain (and other EVM chains), or Phantom for Solana.

A little of the network coin for fees. BNB if you're on BNB Chain, or SOL if you're on Solana — to cover network gas plus the small platform fee.

Your token details ready: a name, a ticker symbol, total supply, and the wallet that should receive the supply.

New to this? Practice for free first. In the Studio's network menu (top-left), pick BNB Testnet or Solana Devnet — these use free test coins so you can rehearse the whole flow before spending anything real.

Step by step

Creating your token

Open the Studio

Go to opnhelix.xyz and click Launch App (or open the Studio page). It opens on BNB Smart Chain by default.

Choose your network

Use the network menu at the top-left to select BNB Smart Chain (recommended for beginners) or Solana. You can switch any time before creating.

Connect your wallet

Click Connect Wallet and approve the connection in MetaMask (EVM) or Phantom (Solana). The Studio will show your network as connected.

Enter your token details

Fill in the Name (e.g. "My Token"), Symbol/Ticker (e.g. "MYT"), Decimals (18 for BNB/EVM, 0–9 for Solana — 9 is standard), Total Supply, and the recipient wallet that receives the full supply at creation.

(Optional) add a logo

Paste a direct image URL in the logo field to attach a logo to your token's metadata. You can skip this and add it later.

Click Create Token

Your wallet will ask you to approve transactions: the small platform fee (~$0.50), then the token deployment (which costs network gas). Review and confirm each in your wallet.

Wait for confirmation

The activity log shows progress. When it turns green, your token is live on-chain. This usually takes a few seconds to a minute depending on the network.

Save your contract address

The Studio displays your new token's contract address and a link to the blockchain explorer. Copy and save the address — you'll need it for liquidity, listings, and sharing.

Fees

What it costs

Network gas (paid to the blockchain)Varies

Platform fee — BNB / EVM mainnet~ $0.50 in native coin

Platform fee — Solana mainnet~ $0.50 in SOL

Testnets (practice)Free

Gas is paid to the network's validators, not to OpenHelix. The platform fee is the OpenHelix service fee and only applies on mainnet — testnets are free.

Next steps

After your token is live

Add liquidity so people can trade it — the Liquidity page routes you to PancakeSwap (BNB), Uniswap (other EVM), or Raydium (Solana).

Verify your contract (EVM) in the Studio's Verify tab so the source code is public on the explorer — a strong trust signal.

Share your token using its contract address, and consider applying to listing trackers once it has liquidity and activity.

Troubleshooting

Common issues

Wallet won't connect

Make sure MetaMask/Phantom is installed and unlocked. On mobile, open the Studio inside your wallet's built-in browser, or use a desktop browser with the extension.

"Insufficient funds": you need enough of the network coin (BNB/SOL) to cover both gas and the platform fee. Top up your wallet and retry.

Wrong network: confirm the network menu (top-left) matches the wallet network. Approve any "switch network" prompt your wallet shows.

Solana decimals rejected: Solana supports 0–9 decimals. If you entered 18, change it to 9.

Mainnet uses real funds. Once you confirm in your wallet, transactions can't be reversed. If it's your first time, create one small test token on a testnet first to learn the flow. OpenHelix is non-custodial — you sign and control every action, and OpenHelix never holds your funds.
