Want to issue your own cryptocurrency but have no experience or funding?
Don’t worry — TON (The Open Network) has made it incredibly simple!
With just a few easy steps, you can issue your own token on the TON blockchain.
The total cost is only 0.25 TON (around $0.52 USD at the time of writing), making it one of the cheapest blockchain token creation options available.
Below is the full step-by-step tutorial

This article is intended solely to demonstrate how to use TON’s official tools to issue your own cryptocurrency.
If you use the minted tokens for illegal purposes, it will still violate local laws and regulations.

Step 1. Open the Official Minting Platform
Visit TON’s official minting site: https://minter.ton.org/
Tokens minted here are based on smart contracts and follow the Jetton standard.
You need to fill in all the information as shown in the image below (the token description can be left blank).
The logo image should be square — ideally 256×256 pixels.
Tip: It’s best to perform all these steps on a computer.
After filling everything out, click Deploy at the bottom to connect your TON wallet.
You can use Telegram’s built-in wallet or another TON-compatible wallet to confirm the transaction.
Step 2. Verify and Relinquish Admin Rights
Once completed, you’ll see a contract address and a page like the one below.
Double-check all your token information carefully, then click Relinquish admin rights (the image below shows a token where admin rights have already been relinquished).
Note: Once you give up admin rights, you cannot modify key parameters such as:
- Decimal places
- Total supply
You can reduce the supply later, but cannot increase it.
Step 3. Check Your Wallet & Add Liquidity
After minting, your token should appear in your wallet.
You can now go to any DEX (Decentralized Exchange) to add liquidity so that your token can be traded publicly.
Here’s a recommended DEX: https://ston.fi/
Reminder:
Always choose large, reputable DEXs.
If the DEX goes offline or scams users, your liquidity could be permanently lost.
Summary
Issuing your own cryptocurrency on TON is fast, easy, and incredibly cheap.
With only 0.25 TON, you can deploy a Jetton-standard token, connect your wallet, and make it tradeable on a DEX.
