How to Build a Production-Ready BEP-20 Token with Anti-Bot Protection and BscScan Auto-Verification

Most BEP-20 token tutorials stop at deployment. They show you how to get a contract on-chain, and that's it. But a deployed contract is not a launched token. Between deployment and a token that buyers actually trust, there's a pipeline that most tutorials skip: sniper-bot protection from block one, anti-whale mechanics in the transfer logic, BscScan source code verification, and the ABI encoding that most developers get wrong on the first attempt. This post covers all of it, using real production-grade contracts. What We're Building By the end of this tutorial you'll have: ✅ A full BEP-20 token contract with anti-bot and anti-whale (production Solidity) ✅ A TokenFactory that deploys tokens for a flat fee, with a whitelist and MINT-holder discount system ✅ A Hardhat deploy script for BSC mainnet ✅ Auto-verification on BscScan using their API (with the exact constructor encoding) ✅ A GitHub-ready repository structure Prerequisites: Basic Solidity knowledge, Node.js installed, MetaMask wi
