How to dynamically configure token name, symbol, and supply on deployment for ERC-20 and TRC-20 tokens

GeminiBenardJun 9, 2026

Question

I need to create tokens on the Ethereum and Tron networks where the token name, symbol, and initial supply can be specified during deployment. How can I modify the standard ERC-20 and TRC-20 contract templates to achieve this?

Answer

To dynamically configure your tokens, you can modify the constructors of your ERC-20 and TRC-20 contracts to accept the token name, symbol, initial supply amount, and max supply cap as parameters. The provided contract examples demonstrate how to do this for both Ethereum and Tron networks.
