Registration & Creation Pricing

One-time fees for getting your token onto Chain Daddy. Recurring plans are documented separately on Token Plans.

Create a Token

Deploy a brand-new ERC-20 (or SPL on Solana) and file the on-chain registration in one flow. Token creation combines a flat per-chain creation fee with the registration fee.

Item	Cost
Token creation, per chain	$5
Registration, per chain	$15
Single-chain create + register	$15 + $5 (creation + registration combined)
Ethereum, per chain	Priced live against L1 gas (see Ethereum pricing)
Gas	Paid to the chain, varies (see gas estimates)

Standard create flow: Create a Token.

Not the only way to launch: the Token Launchpad creates and registers a token for nothing up front, funded by a share of its trading fees instead. See $20 once or 1% of trades for the comparison.

Multi-Chain Bundles

Bundles combine creation + registration across multiple chains into one discounted price: a flat 10% off every chain in any order of 2+ chains. Your registrations link automatically into one unified token page across all your deployments — see Cross-Chain Linking.

Bundle	Chains	Price	Savings vs. à la carte
Duo	2	$36	$4
Tri	3	$54	$6
Quad	4	$72	$8
All-Chain	5	$90	$10

Bundle prices already include both the creation fee and the registration fee for every chain in the bundle. You only pay gas on top. The same flat 10% applies to any mix of chains — including Ethereum, which has a higher per-chain price.

Ethereum Pricing

Ethereum mainnet is the one chain whose price is not flat. It is a multiple of the standard price that moves with what an L1 write actually costs us — the same transaction that is cents on an L2 or Solana runs into dollars on Ethereum, and that cost swings with both gas price and the price of ETH.

The multiple is recomputed continuously and clamped to a band:

Cheapest	1x — the same $15 / $15 + $5 as every other chain
Most expensive	8x
Right now	Whatever the app shows you

That last row is the only honest answer, and it is why no page here prints a fixed Ethereum figure. The price you see in the cart, in the launch drawer, and at checkout is the live one, quoted before you pay and honoured for that order. At the time of writing the band sits at its floor — Ethereum costs the same as every other chain — but that is a fact about today's gas market, not a commitment.

Every other supported chain is the flat price in the tables above. Bundles discount Ethereum at the same flat 10% as anything else.

Cross-Chain Linking

Linking is automatic and free. When the same wallet registers the same ticker on additional chains — whether in one bundled order or one chain at a time — the registrations link into one unified token page on their own. There is no separate linking fee and no manual linking step; you only ever pay the normal per-chain registration or creation fees above.

The one requirement: register from the same wallet on every chain. The token on each chain can have been created by a different wallet, as long as the wallet you register with passes that chain's ownership verification.

See Cross-Chain Linking for how the peer model works.

Claim an Existing Token

A flat platform fee covers your on-chain registration. You still pay gas on the destination chain.

Item	Cost
Standard platform fee	$15
OG-eligible projects	$0 (see eligibility)
Gas	Paid to the chain, varies (see gas estimates)

Standard claim flow: Claim an Existing Token.

OG Free Registration

Established token projects that meet specific activity thresholds qualify for OG status, which waives the platform fee when registering a token — you only pay gas.

Eligibility Criteria

All three conditions must be met simultaneously:

Criterion	Requirement
Deployment Age	Token contract deployed 60+ days ago
Market Cap	Market cap ≥ $50,000
Liquidity	Liquidity ≥ $10,000

Automatic Detection

OG eligibility is calculated automatically from on-chain data. No application or manual review is required.

How to Check Eligibility

1. Search your token name on Chain Daddy
2. Look for the OG badge next to your token in search results
3. If the badge appears, your registration will be fee-free (gas only)

The OG badge indicates the token has met all three criteria at the time of the search. Eligibility is recalculated on each search query using live on-chain data.

Eligibility Can Change

If your token's market cap or liquidity drops below the thresholds before you register, the OG badge may disappear. Register while eligible to lock in the free rate.

OG covers registration only

The fee waiver applies only to the initial registration. Per-chain creation fees and bundle discounts still apply at standard rates.

OG FAQ

Does OG status expire after registering?

No. Once you register your token, the registration remains yours regardless of future activity levels. The OG check only applies at registration time.

Can I get a refund if I paid the platform fee but was eligible?

OG eligibility is checked at registration time. If the badge was not showing when you registered, you did not meet all three criteria at that moment.

My token is old but has low liquidity. Am I eligible?

All three criteria must be met simultaneously. A 60-day-old token below the market cap or liquidity threshold does not qualify.

Gas Estimates

Gas costs are paid directly to the chain, not to Chain Daddy. Estimates vary with network conditions; L2s and Solana are consistently low, Ethereum mainnet swings the most.

Chain	Typical Gas Cost
Arbitrum	$0.05-$0.50
Solana	$0.01-$0.05
Base	$0.01-$0.10
Polygon	$0.01-$0.05
BNB Chain	$0.05-$0.30
Ethereum	$5-$50+

Deal Fees

Chain Daddy charges nothing to facilitate an ownership deal (buyout, project acquisition, consolidation or collab), on either chain. See What a deal costs.

Token Plans

Recurring tools for token management (analytics, alerts, gated links, holder notifications, API access) are covered by plan tiers. See Token Plans.
