Create L1 with Custom Token
Create an L1 with a custom native token that you'll export to C-Chain.
Create Your L1
For this chapter, you need an L1 with a custom native token. If you already have one, you can skip this step.
Unlike Chapters 1 and 3, you do not need the Native Minter precompile for this chapter. We're exporting your native token, not importing one.
Create an L1 with a custom native token
Use the Create Chain tool below. Give your chain a custom token name and symbol (e.g., TEST).
Checking requirements...
Save your Subnet ID, Blockchain ID, and Chain ID after creation.
Launch a BuilderHub hosted node
Start a hosted node for your L1:
Checking requirements...
Wait until the node is healthy and your chain is producing blocks.

Convert the Subnet into a sovereign L1:
This conversion is irreversible. Double-check you're converting the correct Subnet.

What You've Built
Your L1 is now ready with:
- A custom native token (e.g., TEST)
- A hosted node producing blocks
- Converted to a sovereign L1
Next Steps
Next, you'll deploy a wrapped version of your native token (WTEST) and set up the relayer.
