Hello Steemians!

Now we are in the second week of Season 5. So, after a short vacation, I have brought another very interesting lesson which is about "How to Create Your Own Crypto Token "

Today I am going to really explain how to create your own Cryptocurrency Token that we can use with any type of financial activity. And also, it will be a valuable opportunity to start your own Cryptocurrency related project. Of course, you can learn it for educational purposes too. So let's go straight to the lesson.

Introduction of creating a Crypto Token..png

First I will explain what a crypto token is. It will be a great help to those who are not aware of this. Actually, when we talk about Cryptocurrencies, there are two major types. These are Crypto Coin and Crypto Token. Crypto Coin is created on its own blockchain such as Tron - Tron Blockchain. Also, if we need to create a crypto Coin, it requires a lot of coding knowledge and a lot of costs. But a token does not require its own blockchain. Actually, it depends on other blockchains. As an example, AXS token is created on Ethereum Blockchain. So, anyone can create Crypto Token with the support of any other blockchain. Therefore, we do not need much coding knowledge and a big cost. There is more information to talk about coins and tokens here, but we will talk only about the essentials as we have already learned them in the basic courses.

However, although anyone can make a crypto token, we have to work hard to get publicity and give it some value. Also, if we are creating a Crypto Token according to our valuable project, we can gain high publicity and higher value to our token. As an example, we can create a Crypto Token to distribute shares in our business. Then, anyone who wants to get involved with our business should buy these tokens. Furthermore, it is better for us to do more research when buying tokens in the market as anyone can easily create tokens here. So, today I hope to explain everything about creating Crypto Token step by step.

Things you need to know to make a Crypto Token..png

Before, creating a Crypto Token, we need to decide on which blockchain these tokens will be created on. Of course, we can choose any blockchain and vary the gas fee relative to each other. However, I will demonstrate it through Binance Chain. You are totally free to choose any other Blockchain according to your choice.

As the first step, we need an extension(Plugin/add-on) supported Web Browser. We can use Firefox, Google Chrome or any other Chrome Based Browser. I think almost everyone is aware of these things because they are very simple things.

Then we need a wallet to receive and store our Tokens. For that, we can use MetaMask Wallet. Here I will not explain the steps of installing MetaMask wallet as we have already discussed it in previous lessons. However, I will shortly remind it.

You can search https://metamask.io/ through your Web browser and Click on "Install MetaMask for..."

After installing MetaMask Extension to your browser, you can easily create a wallet by clicking on "Create Wallet". It is very simple.

After creating your wallet, you have to deposit some amount of BNB (At least 15$ worth of BNB) through an Exchange wallet or any other wallet that you use.

As I have selected Binance Blockchain to create my Token, I can select "Binance Smart Chain" as the network Mode of my MetaMask Wallet. Let's see how it is done.

If you can't see the Binance Chain Network Mainnet in your Network Modes, you have to manually add it following the below settings.

Then you can see Binance Chain Network Mainnet window through your MetaMask Extension. Further, you can deposit some amount of BNB to your BSC address. You can get an idea from the below-attached image.

Now I have successfully deposited some amount of BNB to my MetaMask BSC address. Now we are totally ready to create our Crypto Token.

Explanation of the Remix IDE and download the source code..png

Basically, the Remix IDE is a web-based application that we can use for coding and deploying Ethereum Smart Contracts. Even we are going to make Binance Smart Chain based Token, we can use this application to code any Smart Contracts based program. Here we can customize the source code easily. Let's do it.

As the first step, we have to open the Binance Chain Docs web page. Now we can select "BEP20 Asset" from the right side of the page and then select "Issue BEP20"

After that, we can see a complete tutorial for all the following steps. However, I will demonstrate important content here step by step.

Before opening the Remix IDE, we have to download the source code, For that, we can click on "bep20 token template here" from the above-explained web page.

Then we can easily download the Source Code and I will further explain how to customize the downloaded Source Code.

How to customize the Source Code..png

step 1.png

Now I can click on https://remix.ethereum.org to open the web-based coding application. Then we can see the application like the below-attached screenshot.

step 2.png

Now we need to create a new file in the "Contracts" column. And also, we have to rename that file into "BEP 20 Token.sol". Here ".sol" means the file format. We must use this when we create a new file. Then we can press enter. Check the below screenshot to get an idea.

Step - 3.png

Now we can copy and paste our downloaded source code into this blank space. For copying the source code, we have to open the downloaded "BEP20Token.template" file through our notepad application. Then we can easily copy and paste these data into the Remix IDE application.

Now we can customize this code according to our requirements. Actually, here we can get many advantages customizing these source codes. However, I will explain only the essential things to create our Crypto Token.


Step - 4.png

Now we have to find the exact code line which consists of constructor details. (Code line 351) In this section, we can include all the main details of our Crypto Token such as Token Name, Token Symbols and Total Token Supply. Below I've attached the screenshot before customizing it.

Now we can edit the source code like the below format. (You can include any detail. But you should follow the below format.)

  • name = "SCA season 5";
  • symbol = "SCA";
  • decimals = 18;
  • totalSupply = 1000000 * 10 ** 18;

Here I will not explain the meaning of each section as we have already familiar with those names. Below I've included a screenshot after customizing the above details in the template.

Step - 5.png

After customizing relevant details, we can compile our token. For that, we have to click on the Compiler icon. Then we have to click on "Compile BEP20Token.sol". Check the below-attached screenshot to get an idea.

Then we can select the "Deploy and Run Transactions" icon from the left toolbar. After that, click on "Deploy".

Then we can confirm all the details through this window as seen in the screenshot below.

Now we have completed all the steps of creating our Token. So, it's time to bring these tokens into our own wallets. I will explain it in the next subtopic.

Bringing created Crypto Tokens into our wallet..png

Now we need to connect our MetaMask wallet with the Remix IDE application. For that, we need to open the MetaMask wallet through our installed extension. Then click on "Account option icon" (Three dots icon). After that, we have to select "Connected Sites"

Finally, we can click on the "Connect" icon. Then, if we can see the Connected icon from the left side of our MetaMask Wallet, we have successfully connected.


After that, again we can come to the Remix IDE Application window and select the "Injected Web3" option from the Environment section. Then click on "Deploy"

Screenshot_316.jpg

Verification of transactions and other details through a relevant block explorer..png

Finally, we can verify the Transaction through Block explorer. Therefore, I need to find the hashcode of the transaction. For that, we have to click on the "Arrow Icon"( right to the Debug icon)

Screenshot_313.jpg
Screenshot was taken from https://remix.ethereum.org


Then we need to copy the Hash code which we can find below the page. Check the below-attached screenshot. And also we can find it through our MetaMask Wallet Transaction hash code.

Screenshot_313.jpg

Now I can check that Hash code through the BSC Scan explorer. Below is my Transaction hash code which belongs to "SCA season 5" Tokens.

Por lo general no comento las tareas pero esta me esta gustando mucho profesor! excelente, espere mi entrada

Profesor es necesario depositar los $15? según su explicación no se paga tanto en comisiones. Segun su explicacion solo pago 0.007866 BNB que representan unos 6 dolares

Actually here you have to deposit at least 15$ worth of BNB, because in the next lecture, you have to list this token in a public exchange and you have to do some transaction between wallets. Thats why I recommended 15$ worth of BNB. However if you dont willing to participate in the next lecture, you can deposit only the gas fee. Contact me for any further clarification.

Thank you
