Launch Your Own Token on Ergo
Create native tokens without smart contract deployment
Problem
On Ethereum, launching a token requires deploying a smart contract, paying high gas fees, and risking contract bugs. It's expensive and complex.
Solution
Ergo tokens are native to the protocol - no smart contract deployment needed. Mint tokens in a simple transaction for minimal fees. Your token inherits Ergo's full security.
Step-by-Step Guide
Ergo tokens are first-class protocol citizens. They live in boxes alongside ERG, can be transferred atomically, and don't need wrapper contracts like ERC-20.
