# Creating an EVM Community

There are two tabs in the “New Common Community” page that are for creating erc20 forums. If the project that you are making a forum for does not have Compound or Aave governance contracts then use the “ERC20” tab. If the project that you are making the Common forum for does have Compound or Aave governance contracts deployed then it is recommended to the “Compound/Aave” tab.

The “ERC20” tab is shown below:

The first step in creating an erc20 forum is picking the right chain that the project is deployed on and inputting the token contract address. Below are the evm chains that we currently support.

Once this first step is done, press “Populate fields” to ensure everything was done correctly up until this point. Next, ensure that Name, ID, Symbol, and Description are all inputted and correct. It is also recommended to fill out as many of the other fields as possible.

After all of the previous steps are complete click “Save changes” to create your erc20 forum.

The process for creating an erc20 forum with Compound or Aave governance contracts is as follows:

The first step in creating this type of erc20 forum is to pick the correct chain, input the token address, select the correct DAO type, and input the right token name. Once this step is done press “Test contract” to ensure that all previous items were inputted correctly. After testing has successfully completed, ensure Name, ID, Symbol, and Description are accurately populated. It is also recommended to fill out as many of the other fields as possible.

After all of the previous steps are complete click “Save changes” to create your Compound/Aave erc20 governance forum.
