ERC-20 smart contract

Customise and use the ERC-20 smart contract to create a token

Create your own token

As a best practice, you can choose to create your own token using the ERC-20 standard template.

Use the following smart contract in the code editor of your choice, customise your cryptocurrency, and compile your code after approving the connection using your preferred digital wallet (here, MetaMask Wallet is used).
