How to create your own cryptocurrency (ERC20)

In this tutorial, we will create your own token. The mintable supply version of this standard guarantees no token will ever be created after the initial emission. Fungible tokens are token from which the value of each token is equal to another.

You will need:

a wallet address with funds: You can use your default Starton wallet, at creation Starton provides you with faucets.
definitiveName: The name of your smart contract which will be reflected on-chain.
definitiveSymbol: The symbol of your smart contract which will be reflected on-chain
initialSupply: The initial amount of tokens that will be minted.
initialOwnerOrMultisigContract: The address that will own the ERC20 contract.

In this tutorial, we will:

Deploy the smart contract template for your token
Process your first token transfer

Deploying the Smart contract from our template

From Code
From Webapp

const axios = require("axios")

const axiosInstance = axios.create({
    baseURL: "https://api.starton.com",
    headers: {
        "x-api-key": "PUT HERE YOUR API KEY",
    },
})

axiosInstance
    .post("/v3/smart-contract/from-template", {
        network: "", // The blockchain network on which you want to deploy your smart contract
        signerWallet: "", // The address of the signer wallet
        templateId: "ERC20_MINT_META_TRANSACTION",
        name: "", // The name of the contract on Starton
        description: "", // The description of the contract on Starton
        params: [
            "", // The name of your smart contract which will be reflected on-chain.
            "", //  The symbol of your smart contract which will be reflected on-chain
            "", // The total amount of tokens that will ever be minted.
            "", // The address that will own the ERC20 contract.
        ],
    })
    .then((response) => {
        console.log(response.data)
    })

Congrats on deploying your smart contract.

Check your Smart contract on the Dashboard

Go to Starton Dashboard and check all the transactions of your smart contract at one glance.

Process your first token transfer

From Code

You will need the following information:

Wallet: the signer wallet
To: the wallet receiving your transfer

        "x-api-key": "PUT HERE YOUR API KEY",
    },
})

axiosInstance
    .post("/v3/smart-contract/YOUR_SMART_CONTRACT_NETWORK/YOUR_SMART_CONTRACT_ADDRESS/call", {
        functionName: "transfer(address,uint256)",
        params: [
            "", // Enter the wallet receiving tokens.
            "", //amount of token transferred
        ],
        signerWallet: "", // Enter the wallet from which tokens will be transferred.
        speed: "average",
    })
    .then((response) => {
        console.log(response.data)
