Top 7 Blockchains for Token Creation in 2025

For newcomers to Web3 or Web2 companies looking to issue their own virtual currency, choosing wisely among the many blockchain platforms can be a daunting challenge. This article delves into the core characteristics and differences of today’s major public chains from multiple dimensions, with the hope of helping you find the token creation platform that best fits your project’s needs.

1. Ethereum: The Industry Benchmark, Secure and Robust

Ethereum is universally recognized as the industry benchmark, prized for its high security, strong decentralization, and extensive ecosystem. No matter your project type, industry background, or target users, creating tokens on Ethereum is generally considered a safe choice. Most well‑known projects have direct or indirect ties to Ethereum. Its mature Solidity programming language and stable technical architecture ensure network reliability. The native asset ETH itself is almost impossible to freeze or steal unilaterally (though be mindful of smart‑contract risks and centralized management of certain tokens like USDT).

However, Ethereum’s higher token creation and transaction (Gas) fees pose a significant barrier, making it more suitable for well‑funded enterprises or projects—and their users—who are unconcerned about cost.

• Advantages:
  – Industry leader; extremely secure and reliable
  – Mature ecosystem; high degree of decentralization
  – Strong community recognition

• Disadvantages:
  – High creation and transaction costs; occasional network congestion
  – Tokens may not display logos by default on some platforms (manual addition needed)

• Best for:
  Large enterprises, flagship projects, or anyone with stringent branding and security requirements

• Token‑creation example (via PandaTool):
  Open PandaTool → switch wallet network to Ethereum mainnet → follow the prompts to create your token

2. Solana: The New Hotspot for MEME and High‑Frequency Use Cases

Solana has rapidly become a favorite for MEME coins and high‑frequency applications thanks to its blazing speed and low fees. MEME coins typically lack a traditional whitepaper, official website, or detailed roadmap, instead relying on community sentiment, viral events, and IP appeal. Any trending IP, character, celebrity, or social event can inspire a MEME token. The focus is on short‑term hype and speculation, so token creation on Solana is both cheap and straightforward.

Compared to Ethereum, Solana’s transaction speed is orders of magnitude higher (theoretical TPS far exceeds Ethereum), and per‑transaction fees are minimal. Its decentralization and stability have faced scrutiny, and its smart‑contract ecosystem (built in Rust/C/C++) is still maturing, posing a learning curve for developers accustomed to Solidity. The user base skews international.

• Advantages:
  – Ultra‑fast transactions; minimal fees
  – Tokens often auto‑display logos; quick project launch
  – Low barrier for simple token creation

• Disadvantages:
  – Many “shitcoins” or scam projects; complex contract development is challenging
  – Occasional network interruptions; user base is largely non‑Chinese

• Best for:
  MEME coin issuers, small studios testing the waters, projects demanding top‑tier speed and low cost

• Token‑creation example (via PandaTool):
  Open PandaTool → connect a Solana wallet (e.g., Phantom) → create your token

3. BNB Smart Chain (BSC): Balancing EVM Compatibility and Cost‑Effectiveness

BNB Smart Chain (BSC) is fully compatible with the Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM), meaning developers can use the same addresses, private keys, and Solidity language. Compared to Ethereum, BSC offers faster transactions and significantly lower costs (typically 1%–10% of Ethereum’s).

Its primary drawback is a relatively small number of validator nodes (a few dozen, mainly tied to Binance), resulting in higher centralization. This, however, delivers stable, low transaction fees, unlike Ethereum’s volatile Gas costs under congestion. The low barrier also means a proliferation of lower‑quality or speculative (“dog”) projects, which can tarnish its professional image.

• Advantages:
  – EVM‑compatible; mature development ecosystem
  – Large user base; low, stable transaction fees
  – Strong scalability for diverse token contracts

• Disadvantages:
  – Higher centralization; many speculative or low‑quality projects
  – Tokens may not auto‑display logos on some platforms

• Best for:
  SMEs and DApps seeking EVM compatibility and cost efficiency

• Token‑creation example (via PandaTool):
  Open PandaTool → switch wallet network to BSC → create your token

4. Base: Coinbase‑Backed, Compliance‑Focused Layer 2

Base is an Ethereum Layer 2 solution launched by Coinbase, designed to inherit Ethereum’s security and decentralization while dramatically reducing Gas fees—often to just a fraction of mainnet costs. These features have spurred a wave of MEME‑coin issuance on Base as well.

A standout trait of Base is its emphasis on compliance. Backed by a reputable exchange, Base aims to host billions in real‑world assets (RWA), stablecoins, and crypto‑payment solutions. It has no native governance token by design, further underscoring its regulatory focus. Internationally, Base is viewed as an on‑ramp between blockchain and traditional finance.

• Advantages:
  – Strong compliance outlook; low fees; fast transactions
  – Inherits Ethereum’s security model

• Disadvantages:
  – Ecosystem still growing; lacks native USDT (though USDC is available)
  – Tokens may not auto‑display logos by default

• Best for:
  Crypto‑financial services, RWA issuers, projects targeting global markets

• Token‑creation example (via PandaTool):
  Open PandaTool → switch wallet network to Base → create your token

5. TRON: Vast User Base and USDT Hub

TRON is renowned for its massive user base and strong support for USDT. Although each TRC‑20 USDT transfer can cost on the order of tens of TRX (roughly US$1–2), and token creation is not cheap, TRON remains popular—especially among Asian and Chinese‑speaking communities—processing billions of USDT daily.

• Advantages:
  – Chinese‑friendly; tokens often auto‑display logos
  – Low technical barrier; massive USDT usage

• Disadvantages:
  – Limited DeFi and complex application ecosystem; relatively high transfer fees
  – Heightened scam risk

• Best for:
  Projects serving Taiwanese and overseas Chinese users; payment and USDT‑centric applications

• Token‑creation example (via PandaTool):
  Open PandaTool → connect a TRON wallet (e.g., TronLink) → create your token

6. Sui: Emerging High‑Performance Move Chain

Sui is an emerging high‑performance chain built on the Move programming language, gaining prominence in 2023–2024. It boasts fast transactions, low fees, and a smooth user experience—ideal for GameFi and metaverse applications. Its ecosystem and Chinese‑language adoption are still nascent, and Move development carries a steeper learning curve.

• Advantages:
  – Innovative architecture; fast, low‑cost transactions
  – Tokens often auto‑display logos

• Disadvantages:
  – Early‑stage ecosystem; limited user base
  – Move’s learning threshold for developers

• Best for:
  GameFi, metaverse projects, innovators seeking high‑performance and novel tech

• Token‑creation example (via PandaTool):
  Open PandaTool → connect a Sui wallet (e.g., Suiet) → create your token

7. TON (The Open Network): Telegram’s Blockchain Bet

TON integrates deeply with Telegram—home to hundreds of millions of users—and has drawn much attention in recent years. While its user base still trails Ethereum and TRON, it has rapidly expanded beyond its early Russian audience into Europe.

TON’s innovation lies in its Telegram mini‑apps, where users can enjoy games and services directly within the chat app. As Telegram explores crypto‑payments and ecosystem growth, TON stands to benefit from that synergy.

• Advantages:
  – Deep Telegram integration; huge potential user pool; fast transactions

• Disadvantages:
  – FunC smart‑contract development is specialized; ecosystem and users are still growing

• Best for:
  SocialFi projects, mini‑games, and any initiative leveraging Telegram’s community

• Token‑creation example (via PandaTool):
  Open PandaTool → connect a TON wallet (e.g., Tonkeeper) → create your token

Conclusion & Selection Tips

Choosing the right chain depends on your project’s identity, audience, budget, and technical preferences:

• Ethereum for top‑tier security and brand recognition.

• Solana or Base for rapid MEME‑coin launches and low fees.

• BSC for EVM compatibility with cost efficiency.

• TRON or TON to target Chinese‑speaking or Telegram communities.

• Sui for high‑performance, innovative GameFi/metaverse builds.

Armed with these insights—and tools like PandaTool to streamline the token‑creation process—you’ll be well‑positioned to launch on the blockchain that best serves your vision.
