Create Tokens on Bitcoin
Your Token. Bitcoin's Security.
The OmniCore wallet lets you create custom digital tokens on the Bitcoin blockchain in a single transaction. Define the name, supply, divisibility, and management rules — and your token is live on the most secure network in existence.
No smart contract deployment. No gas optimization. No testnet-to-mainnet migration. One transaction. One confirmation. Done. Compare this approach to alternatives in our Bitcoin token protocols guide.
Token Types
Fixed supply
Set the total supply at creation. No more can ever be minted. Ideal for representing scarce assets, memberships, or capped currencies.
Managed supply
The issuer can mint new tokens or revoke existing ones after creation. Suitable for evolving projects, reward systems, or assets that require administrative control.
Divisible or indivisible
Choose whether your token supports decimal amounts (like currency) or whole units only (like tickets or votes).
How to Create a Token
Using OmniCore's RPC interface, the omni_sendissuancefixed or omni_sendissuancemanaged commands create a new token. You specify: ecosystem (main or test), token type (divisible/indivisible), previous token ID (for updates), category, subcategory, name, URL, description, and supply amount.
The creation transaction costs a standard Bitcoin miner fee — typically a few hundred satoshis depending on network conditions. No additional protocol fee.
After Creation
Once confirmed on the Bitcoin blockchain, your token has a unique property ID on the Omni Layer. It can be:
- •Sent to any Bitcoin address
- •Traded on OmniDEX for Bitcoin or other Omni Layer tokens
- •Tracked via OmniCore's built-in explorer
- •Managed (if created as managed supply) via additional RPC commands
Real-World Precedent
The Omni Layer has been used to create and manage tokens since 2013. The most notable token ever issued on the protocol was Tether (USDT) on Omni Layer — the first stablecoin on any blockchain. MaidSafeCoin (MAID) is another long-running token on the layer. Your token joins a protocol with over a decade of production history rooted in the original Mastercoin launch.
