What is Token Minting? How TradePesa Makes It Easy for Everyone

Published on 13 Jun 2026

Token minting is the process of creating a new digital asset. Traditionally, minting a token required writing smart contracts, deploying to Ethereum or Binance Smart Chain, and paying expensive gas fees that could cost hundreds of dollars. It was only accessible to developers.
