Interchain tokens are ERC-20 tokens that are available on [multiple blockchains](https://docs.axelar.dev/resources/testnet). They are created using the [Interchain Token Service](https://github.com/axelarnetwork/interchain-token-service/blob/main/contracts/InterchainTokenService.sol) and can be used to transfer value between blockchains.

You can create a new Interchain Token through the [Interchain Portal](https://testnet.interchain.axelar.dev/), or by building a custom ERC-20 token and deploying it with a Mint/Burn token manager on all chains. These tokens will be accessible on multiple chains, allowing for seamless interaction on each chain by utilizing familiar methods such as send, transfer, and approve -- just as with any standard ERC-20 token.
- **NOTE:** The security of your token is limited to the security of the chains it integrates with. Since blockchains can have different security practices, we recommend doing due diligence on all chains your token will be deployed to.

If you already have an ERC-20 token on one or more blockchains, you can turn it into an Interchain Token by deploying [Token Managers](../../reference/glossary/#token-manager). Token Managers can be either [Lock/Release](../../reference/glossary/#lockunlock) or [Mint/Burn](../../reference/glossary/#mintburn). Canonical tokens are registered under the local chain's Lock/Release token manager and mint/burn on remote chains. They can be deployed to remote chains by anyone and don't depend on a deployer address/salt.

If pre-mint is needed, you must make ERC20 approval to the Interchain Token Factory contract. When tokens are moved from the origin chain to another chain, the token will be locked on the origin chain and minted on the destination chain. If you moved tokens directly from one non-origin chain to another, the token would be burned on the source chain and minted on the destination chain.
