ERC-20 on Arc
Create a token on Arc
Deploy a standard ERC-20 on Arc from your browser and pay for it in USDC (gas).
Arc is almost ready
This tool opens on Arc on 16 September 2026. Everything below describes exactly how it will work.
On Arc the fee is paid in USDC (the network's own gas currency), so the quoted price and the dollar amount are the same number.
The deployment is a single transaction; verification on Arcscan follows automatically once it confirms.
How to create a token on Arc
- Connect an EVM wallet to Arc
- Name the token and set its symbol, supply and decimals
- Switch on any optional features you want (mint, burn, pause, anti-bot, taxes)
- Review the price, quoted in USDC
- Sign once and the contract deploys
- Open the verified contract on Arcscan
Benefits of Token Creator
A standard ERC-20
the compiled bytecode is what an Ethereum deploy would produce
The cost is a dollar amount
USDC (gas) pays the network fee and the service fee both
No token to buy first
you never need to acquire a separate volatile gas asset to deploy
Verified automatically
the source publishes on Arcscan as soon as the transaction confirms
You choose the rules
mint, burn, pause, anti-bot and tax are switches, not defaults
Non-custodial
the contract is yours from the first block; Smithii holds no key

Yes. Arc is EVM-compatible, so the compiled bytecode is exactly what an Ethereum deploy would produce. Wallets, explorers and DEX contracts treat it as an ERC-20 because it is one.
75 USDC (gas) for the creation, plus whichever extras you switch on. Because USDC is also Arc's gas currency, that figure is the entire bill: there is no separate, volatile-gas amount added on top.
Any EVM wallet: MetaMask, Rabby, Coinbase Wallet, or anything WalletConnect reaches. Fund it with USDC, since that pays both the network fee and the service fee on Arc.
Yes, on Arcscan, so anyone reading your token sees the source rather than a wall of bytecode.
Not yet through Smithii. Arc's exchange is Uniswap V4, and our pool tools are built against V2, so pool creation is not available on Arc until that integration exists.
Deploying an ERC-20 on Arc
Arc is EVM-compatible, so the contract you deploy here is a standard ERC-20 with an ordinary Ethereum-style address. What is different is what you pay with: Arc is built by Circle, the issuer of USDC, and USDC is the network's own gas currency.
That changes the one number every other chain leaves uncertain until the transaction lands. Everywhere else, the deploy costs some amount of a token whose price moves, so the real cost in dollars is only knowable after the fact. On Arc the fee is quoted in USDC (gas), and the number you are shown before signing is the number you pay.
What you can do once the token is live
Distribute the supply with the Multisender, take a snapshot of holders, and manage the contract settings it was deployed with, all from the same USDC-denominated toolkit. Liquidity pools are not part of the set yet: Arc's exchange is Uniswap V4, and the pool tools here are built against V2.
