Tokens on Algorand do not require smart contracts. You can read how to create, transfer, etc here: [Algorand Standard Assets (ASAs) - Algorand Developer Portal](https://developer.algorand.org/docs/get-details/asa/)

That said if you want to use logic(smart contract) with a token you can do that. Take a look at this ARC: [ARCs/arc-0020.md at main · algorandfoundation/ARCs · GitHub](https://github.com/algorandfoundation/ARCs/blob/main/ARCs/arc-0020.md)  
The reference implementation has a great readme: [GitHub - algorandlabs/smart-asa: Smart ASA reference implementation](https://github.com/algorandlabs/smart-asa)
