Deploy ERC-20 token

Deployment of ERC-20 token can be done though Remix IDE of locally using truffle. Since BNB Sidechain has EVM & Web3 support, it is compatible with Ethereum development toolsets. Remix is the easiest way to deploy the ERC-20 smart contract into a BNB Sidechain network.

To deploy an ERC-20 token using Remix IDE go to the remix page (opens in a new tab). In the deploy section choose Injected Web3 and make sure your MetaMask is connected to one of the BNB Sidechain networks. To get connected to the BNB Sidechain network, go to one of the BNB Sidechain devnet's staking pages, for example, https://staking.dev-01.bas.ankr.com/ (opens in a new tab), and it will create a new MetaMask network automatically for you. You can also configure your MetaMask manually.

Use this snippet of the ERC-20 smart contract:

// SPDX-License-Identifier: GPL-3.0
pragma solidity >=0.7.0 <0.9.0;

import "@openzeppelin/contracts/token/ERC20/ERC20.sol";

contract MyERC20Token is ERC20 {

    constructor() ERC20("My Test Token", "MTT") {
        _mint(msg.sender, 1000 ether);
    }
}

Now you can go to the Solidity Compiler section to compile your smart contract and deploy it to the BNB Sidechain network via the Deploy & Run Transaction section.
