How to create a token on the Proton Blockchain?

This guide will show you how to create your very own Token on the Proton blockchain.

1. To start, you will need to purchase Ram.
   • Head over to https://protonresources.com/
   • Purchase 200000 bytes (about 2220 XPR)
     
     

2. Download proton.token ABI and WASM (right click -> save link as):

   • ABI: https://github.com/ProtonProtocol/proton.token/raw/main/contracts/proton.token/proton.token.abi
   • WASM: https://github.com/ProtonProtocol/proton.token/raw/main/contracts/proton.token/proton.token.wasm

3. Log in at https://www.protonscan.io/wallet/utilities/upload-contract and upload the WASM and ABI

   ℹ️ For the next few steps, replace "tokentester" in all URLs and parameters with your own account name (@name)
4. Go to https://protonscan.io/account/tokentester?loadContract=true&tab=Actions&account=tokentester&scope=tokentester&limit=100&action=create
   • For issuer: Enter your account name
   • For maximum_supply: Enter Total Tokens to be minted and Token symbol (format is "Number Symbol'  e.g. 1000000.0000 MEME)
     • Maximum Supply is the maximum amount that can ever be minted
     • The amount of decimal points indicates the precision i.e. .0000 means decimals
       
       
5. Next, we will issue the Token.
   • Click on the "issue" tab
   • To: field is your account name
   • Quantity: The amount of Tokens you want to issue right now
   • Memo: Optional field
     
     
6. Last step is to register your Token (This is where you can provide an image and name your Token).
   • Go to https://protonscan.io/account/token.proton?loadContract=true&tab=Actions&account=token.proton&scope=token.proton&limit=100&action=reg
     • tcontract: account name e.g. "tokentester"
     • tname: name of token e.g. "Meme Token"
     • url: url of token e.g. "https://meme.com"
     • desc: description of token e.g. "The Memest of them All"
     • iconurl: token image url e.g. "https://meme.com/token.png"
     • symbol: precision and symbol of Token. Format example "4,MEME" 
       • 4 is the precision of the MEME token from earlier (remember .0000)
