# Make or Import Your Token

> Create a new token with the built-in maker, or paste the address of one you already own.

Every launch needs a token. You can either **make a new one** with the built-in Token Maker, or **use one you already own** by pasting its address.

## Making a new token

The Token Maker lives at **App → Create Token**. It uses ready-made, safety-checked token designs. Making a token is free — you only pay the normal network gas fee.

<Steps>
  <Step title="Pick a design">
    * **Standard Tax** — a clean token with buy/sell taxes and trading limits. Fits most launches.
    * **Phase Tax** — the same, but it starts with a high tax that drops on its own after a few blocks. This makes it pointless for snipers to buy early.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Choose your settings">
    * Name, symbol, and total supply
    * Buy and sell tax (both together can't go over **25%** — the token itself enforces this)
    * The most one wallet can hold or buy at once (as a % of supply)
    * Phase Tax only: the starting tax (up to 80%) and how many blocks until it drops
  </Step>

  <Step title="Check the built-in protections">
    Both designs come with safety rules locked in: no way to secretly create more tokens, no way to block or seize anyone's tokens, and limits that can't be raised later. Tax earnings always go to you — even after you give up ownership.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Deploy in private">
    On mainnet, your token is created through a private lane (Flashbots Protect), so bots can't get in the way before it's done.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Verify on Etherscan (optional)">
    One click publishes your token's code so anyone can read it on the block explorer. Buyers and tools trust verified tokens more.
  </Step>
</Steps>

## Handy extras

* **Custom address** — grind out a token address that starts or ends with letters you choose, right in your browser
* **Copy an existing token** — paste another token's address to use its details as a starting point

<Note>
  You can make a token on **Ethereum mainnet** and the free **practice networks** (Sepolia, Hoodi, Sandbox). Base, BNB Chain, and Robinhood Chain are coming soon.
</Note>

## Using a token you already own

Already have one? In the launch setup, paste its address and BundleZeus will:

1. Fill in the token's name, symbol, and supply for you
2. Find the button that turns on trading — common names like `enableTrading`, `openTrading`, and `launch` are recognized automatically
3. Check the token for [honeypot traps](/tools/honeypot-scanner) and risky owner powers
4. Spot any trading limits or high starting taxes and adjust the launch to handle them

<Warning>
  You need to control the token's owner wallet to turn on trading. BundleZeus asks for the owner key inside your browser only — it's used there to sign and is never sent to any server.
</Warning>
