Writing the Contract

Start with a Template #

Please check ERC20 token contract on OpenZeppelin. Not only ERC20, but there are many templates including ERC721 and others to import in OpenZeppelin.

pragma solidity ^0.8.0;

import "@openzeppelin/contracts/token/ERC20/ERC20.sol";

contract Token is ERC20 {
    constructor() ERC20("Test", "TST") {
        _mint(msg.sender, 1000 * 10 ** 18);
    }
}

Please write this contract, and save as Token.sol.

This helps get you started by providing the basic boilerplate and structure for a smart contract. Instantiate will be executed when it is deployed by the constructor.

Compile & deploy #

You may compile by CLI in your local environment, or use Remix IDE on Web to get the compiled bytecode. But we recommend to development environment tools like Hardhat and Truffle to use better lifecycle management features.
