Blockchain is taking over the world. Bitcoin, the most popular virtual currency right now, is a product of blockchain technology. Ethereum is a byproduct of blockchain. It came into existence following the surge of Bitcoin.
While Bitcoin relies only on currencies, Ethereum goes a step further by providing a virtual machine and smart contracts that enable users to deploy their tokens, which is similar to Bitcoin.
A token can represent a virtual currency, an ounce of gold, a lottery ticket, etc. You can develop all kinds of tokens on the Ethereum blockchain, but for this tutorial, we’ll focus on how to create and deploy an ERC-20 token.
We’ll cover the following in detail with practical examples:
– What is blockchain and how does it work?
– What is Ethereum?
– How does Ethereum work?
– What are smart contracts?
– What are ERC-20 tokens?
– The ERC-20 body
– Creating an ERC-20 token
– Deploying a token on the Ethereum testnet
You might be wondering, “Why should I create my own token?” Blockchain, Ethereum, and tokens are becoming a huge part of the software development…
