You can now deploy and mint your own BRC-20 token directly from the Magic Eden platform! This guide will explain the process step-by-step.

Deploying Your BRC-20 Token

To create your BRC-20 token, you need to deploy it first. Follow these instructions:

  • Head to the Magic Eden homepage and click on the "Inscribe" icon located at the top right of the screen next to your wallet address.

  • Click on the "BRC-20 Deploy" tab at the top of the modal.

  • Select the following parameters for your token:

    • Ticker: Choose a four-letter phrase as the token identifier. For example, popular BRC-20 tokens have used the ticker (or tick) ORDI or OXBT.

    • Max Supply: Determine the maximum number of tokens available to mint.

    • Limit per Mint: Set the max number of tokens that can be minted in one transaction.

Important Note:
Make sure the chosen ticker has not already been deployed or the transaction will fail. Magic Eden will check this unless specified not to do so.

  • Choose the desired parameters and click the "Next" button.

  • Select the Bitcoin Network Fee (Low, Medium, or High) and click the "Inscribe" button.

  • Wait for the Bitcoin network to confirm the transaction. Confirmation may take some time.

  • Once confirmed, check your wallet. You will receive a "Deploy" inscription, indicating that you can now mint your tokens. This example shows a "Deploy" inscription in Xverse wallet:

Minting Your BRC-20 Token

Now that your BRC20 token is deployed, follow these steps to mint it:

  • Return to the 'Inscribe Ordinals' modal on the Magic Eden homepage.

  • Select the 'BRC-20 Mint' tab.

  • Provide the following information:

    • Tick: Enter the four-letter phrase you previously deployed.

    • Amount: Specify the amount of tokens you want to mint.

    • Quantity to Inscribe: Determine the number of mint inscriptions you wish to create.

Note:
The maximum number you can mint per transaction is limited to the value set in the 'Limit per mint' during the deploy process

  • Click 'Next' and select the Network fee.

  • Once the fee rate is chosen, click the 'Inscribe' button. The example above is minting 63 BRC-20 tokens, in three batches of 21,

  • The new set of mint transaction links will be provided. The process of confirming mint transactions once again will take some time.

  • After confirmation, you will receive the mint inscriptions into your connected wallet.

Additional Information

To transfer or list your newly created BRC-20 tokens, you need to create separate transferable inscriptions. Refer to our Listing and Transfer guides for more details.

Note: Review and confirm all transaction details before proceeding. Transaction confirmation times may vary depending on network congestion and other factors.
