Creating Tokens on Ethereum
In this chapter, you are going to learn how to create tokens on top of Ethereum. Tokens have a variety of uses; they may represent a local currency in a local community, a physical good, virtual money in a game, or loyalty points. You can build new cryptocurrencies with this token; Ethereum is a cryptocurrency itself, but you can build new cryptocurrencies on top of it, making it far easier to create a new token.
This chapter will cover the following topics:
- How to create a simple token smart contract
- The ERC-20 token standard
- Selling tokens
- Security aspects
Technical requirements
