On The Open Network, custom tokens are called jettons. They’re $TON ’s standardized fungible tokens  similar to ERC-20 on Ethereum. With the official tools, you can mint, transfer, and manage a token in just minutes.

But here’s the real question: Just because it’s easy, should you do it without thinking?

The Part Most People Ignore is the Legal Risk

Depending on where you live, your token could be seen as: A taxable digital asset, A financial instrument, Even a security.

If your marketing promises: “Guaranteed returns”,“Passive income”,“Profit sharing”. You may unintentionally trigger securities regulations.

The safer route is Focus on utility, access, governance, or ecosystem use cases and not financial returns. Language matters more than most founders realize.

Branding Mistakes Can Be Costly

Naming your token after a major brand or using copyrighted logos is not creative, it’s risky.

Blockchain doesn’t protect you from trademark law. If you’re serious, build an original identity. It builds credibility and protects you legally.

When you launch a jetton, you may retain the ability to: Mint more tokens, Burn tokens, Modify metadata.

From my perspective, this is a big trust issue. If the creator can mint unlimited supply at any time, that’s a red flag.

Some projects choose to revoke admin rights after deployment to increase credibility. If you don’t, be transparent about: Supply limits, Governance structure, Future plans. Trust is earned through clarity.

How Jettons Are Created

Step 1: Set up a TON wallet like

  1. Tonkeeper

  2. MyTonWallet

  3. Fund it with Toncoin for deployment fees.

Step 2: Use the official minter interface

  • Fill in:

  • Token name

  • Symbol

  • Decimals

  • Supply

  • Logo

Step 3: Deploy and verify

After confirming the transaction, your jetton goes live on-chain. Share the contract address publicly for transparency.

After deployment, some creators add liquidity on platforms like STON.fi.

But here’s my honest opinion:

Liquidity without purpose creates speculation and not value.

A token with no utility is just a contract address waiting for hype.
