Where founders get stuck

Real concerns, answered before you commit

I keep hearing a token is 'cheap'—then the quotes explode.

We break the real cost into four layers up front: the contract, bolt-on features, the mandatory audit, and post-code deployment and liquidity—so you see the whole number, not a teaser price.

I'm worried my contract gets exploited after launch.

A token contract is immutable and holds value, so an audit is mandatory for any public launch. We build to audited standards and budget the audit and likely re-audit as non-negotiable line items.

I don't know if my token is a security or a utility.

Classification varies by jurisdiction and getting it wrong is expensive. We flag the utility-vs-security question early and coordinate with securities counsel before you commit to a structure.

Bad tokenomics could kill the project even if the code is perfect.

Poor tokenomics is the leading cause of token collapse. We model supply, distribution, vesting, emissions, and utility before writing contracts, not after.

I don't know how to make my token actually tradable.

We handle deployment, verification, and DEX liquidity-pool setup—pairing your token with a base asset so trading works from launch—plus exchange-listing prep when you're ready.

What we build

Tokens and contracts we build

Standard tokens (ERC-20, BEP-20)

Clean, audited ERC-20 and BEP-20 contracts deployed on Ethereum, BNB Chain, or both, with verification and a basic audit included.

Advanced tokenomics

Staking, vesting, governance, reflection, and burn mechanics modeled and implemented so incentives hold up over time.

Stablecoins

Fiat-backed, crypto-collateralized, or algorithmic stablecoins with reserve management, peg logic, and compliance integrations.

Security tokens

Regulation-aware security tokens with transfer restrictions, investor accreditation, and compliance for securities regimes.

Multi-chain deployment

Deploy across Ethereum, BNB Chain, Solana, and Layer 2s, with bridges connecting ecosystems when you need broad reach.

Liquidity & listing prep

DEX liquidity-pool setup, contract verification, and exchange-listing readiness so your token is tradable from day one.

How we deliver

A clear, milestone-based delivery process

01

Discovery & token strategy

We define token type, chain, and purpose against your goals and budget, then lock scope and a fixed quote covering all four cost layers.

02

Tokenomics modeling

We model supply, distribution, vesting, emissions, and utility before any contract is written, because economics—not code—usually decide success.

03

Legal classification check

We coordinate with securities counsel on utility-vs-security classification for your jurisdiction so structure is sound before launch.

04

Smart contract development

We build the token contract and any staking, vesting, or governance features to audited standards on your chosen chain or chains.

05

Security audit & re-audit

Independent audit and remediation, with a re-audit after fixes—mandatory because the deployed contract is immutable and holds value.

06

Deployment & liquidity

We deploy, verify, set up DEX liquidity pools, and prepare exchange listings so your token launches tradable and credible.

Standards & types

Token types we develop

From a simple utility token to a compliant stablecoin or security token—we build the right standard for your goal.

ERC-20

The Ethereum token standard—most credibility and liquidity, but higher gas.

BEP-20

The near-identical BNB Chain standard with much lower fees and faster transactions.

Stablecoin

A token pegged to a stable value via fiat reserves, crypto collateral, or algorithms.

Utility token

Grants access or usage within a platform and faces lighter regulation.

Governance token

Confers voting rights over protocol decisions and treasury, often with vesting.

Security token

Represents an investment such as equity, debt, or an asset share and must comply with securities law.

SPL (Solana)

The Solana token standard for low-cost, high-throughput deployments.

Pricing & timelines

Indicative ranges blended from current market data. Your fixed-scope quote is set after a short discovery call.

Standard token (ERC-20 / BEP-20)

$3K–$12K

2–4 weeks

A clean ERC-20 or BEP-20 contract with verification and a basic security audit included—the credible baseline for a public launch.

Best for: Straightforward utility or community tokens.

Most popular

Advanced tokenomics

$10K–$35K

4–8 weeks

Staking, governance, reflection, or vesting mechanics with modeled economics and an audit covering the added complexity.

Best for: Projects whose token mechanics are core to the product.

Stablecoin

$25K–$80K+

8–12 weeks

A pegged token with reserve or collateral management, peg logic, and compliance integrations; fiat-backed compliant designs sit at the higher end.

Best for: Teams issuing a fiat-, crypto-, or algorithmically-backed stablecoin.

Security token

$25K–$50K+

8–12 weeks

A regulation-compliant token with transfer restrictions, investor accreditation, and securities-law structuring and review.

Best for: Asset-backed or equity/debt offerings that must be compliant.

A mandatory audit is $5K–$25K of any public-launch budget and cannot be removed. Deploying the same token on a second chain via a bridge adds roughly $2K–$5K, and a securities-lawyer classification review runs $5K–$20K. Final pricing is fixed after discovery.

Why teams choose Marshall

Whole-cost transparency

We quote all four cost layers—contract, features, audit, and post-code deployment and liquidity—so the price doesn't balloon after you commit.

Audits are non-negotiable

We never ship a public token without an audit and likely re-audit, because the contract is immutable and holds real value.

Economics before code

We model tokenomics first, since poor supply and incentive design is the leading cause of token collapse even when the code is flawless.

Tradable from launch

We handle deployment, verification, and liquidity-pool setup so your token works on a DEX from day one, not weeks later.

FAQ

Crypto token development FAQs

How much does it cost to create a cryptocurrency token?

A standard ERC-20 or BEP-20 token costs $3,000–$12,000 including a basic security audit. A token with advanced mechanics such as staking, governance, reflection, or vesting costs $10,000–$35,000. A fiat-backed stablecoin costs $25,000–$80,000+.

How long does it take to create a token?

A standard ERC-20 or BEP-20 takes 2–4 weeks to build and audit, a token with complex tokenomics 4–8 weeks, and a stablecoin 8–12 weeks. The security audit and re-audit are what set the realistic floor on timeline.

What's the difference between ERC-20 and BEP-20?

ERC-20 is the token standard on Ethereum; BEP-20 is the near-identical standard on BNB Chain with much lower gas fees and faster transactions. Many projects deploy both, connected by a bridge, for roughly $2,000–$5,000 extra to access both ecosystems.

What is a stablecoin and how much does it cost to build?

A stablecoin is a token pegged to a stable value, usually $1, via fiat reserves, crypto collateral, or algorithms. Development ranges $30,000–$150,000+ depending on the backing model, reserve management, compliance, and integrations. Fiat-backed compliant stablecoins sit at the higher end.

What's the difference between a coin and a token?

A coin is the native asset of its own blockchain, such as BTC, ETH, or SOL, and requires building or forking a chain. A token is created on an existing blockchain via a smart contract, like most ERC-20 and BEP-20 assets. Tokens are far faster and cheaper to launch than a native coin.

What goes into token development cost?

Four layers: the smart contract itself ($3,000–$8,000), bolt-on features like staking, vesting, or governance ($2,000–$8,000 each), the security audit ($5,000–$40,000 plus a likely re-audit), and post-code work such as deployment, gas, exchange-listing prep, liquidity, and verification ($3,000–$10,000).

Do I need a security audit for a simple token?

Yes for any public launch. The mandatory audit is $5,000–$25,000 of the budget and cannot be removed from a token going live, because the contract is immutable and holds value. Skipping it risks investor funds and your reputation.

What is tokenomics and why does it matter?

Tokenomics is the economic design of your token: total supply, distribution, vesting and lockups, emissions, utility, and incentives. Poor tokenomics is the leading cause of token collapse even when the code is flawless. It should be modeled before contracts are written.

What blockchain should I launch my token on?

Ethereum offers the most credibility and liquidity but high gas; BNB Chain and Solana are cheaper and faster; Polygon, Arbitrum, and Base balance cost and Ethereum security. Multi-chain deployment is increasingly standard for reach. The choice depends on your audience and budget.

Do I need legal review for my token?

It is strongly recommended. Token classification as utility or security varies by jurisdiction, and a securities-lawyer review of $5,000–$20,000 is cheap insurance. Getting classification wrong can cost ten times more if a regulator gets involved.

How do I make my token tradable?

You create a liquidity pool on a DEX by pairing your token with a base asset such as ETH, USDT, or BNB. The deposit ratio sets the initial price, and trades happen against the pool. You can also pursue exchange listings, but liquidity provisioning is the first step.

What's the difference between a utility token and a security token?

A utility token grants access or usage within a platform and faces lighter regulation. A security token represents an investment such as equity, debt, or an asset share and must comply with securities law—it is more expensive to develop, $25,000–$50,000+, due to legal and compliance work.
