Create your own cryptocurrency with ERC-20 tokens on Polygon

Identify the required tools for the course, including a code editor (Visual Studio Code), and learn about free test blockchains, deployment on the Polygon sidechain, and calculating deployment costs.

Explain how a cryptocurrency functions as a digital, decentralized medium of exchange secured by computer code, enabling fast, low-cost cross-border transfers, with Polygon as the deployment platform.

Explore how blockchain functions as a shared, secured register that records transactions in chronological order, with the network verifying origins to prevent fraudulent transactions.

Contrast Ethereum and Polygon as blockchain solutions for smart contracts and token deployment. Learn how Polygon acts as a layer-two sidechain that reduces gas costs and enables cheap, Ethereum-compatible deployments.

Solidity is an object-oriented programming language for the Ethereum blockchain that lets developers write autonomous smart contracts executed on the Ethereum Virtual Machine, with gas fees for deployment and usage.

Discover what ERC-20 tokens are, how their smart contracts use a ledger to track addresses and balances, and see examples like USDC and UNI.

Explore Solidity, the strongly typed language for writing smart contracts, inspired by JavaScript; learn setup with Visual Studio Code and how Solidity's basics and gotchas shape coding.

Discover the basic Solidity types, including string, boolean, int and uint with various bit widths (int8, int16, int256, uint8), plus fixed, ufixed, and the address type.

Explore solidity functions: define function syntax, pass arguments, return types, and function visibility with public, private, view, pure, and payable to build ERC-20 tokens on polygon.

Explore fixed and dynamic arrays in Solidity, learn how to declare them, set sizes, push elements, use length to know size, and access items by 0-based index.

Explore how Solidity collections like mappings and structs organize data as key-value pairs, with uniform key and value types and practical examples such as car attributes.

Discover the ERC-20 standard for your cryptocurrency, detailing constants such as name, symbol, decimals, total supply, balanceOf, transfer, approve, allowance, and transferFrom, with balances and allowed mappings and events.

Write and deploy a basic token contract in Remix using Solidity 0.8.4, defining name, symbol, decimals, and total supply. Test and verify deployment on the JavaScript VM and inspect balances.

Implement an ERC-20 style transfer, approve, allowance, and transfer from in a Solidity smart contract, adding transfer and approval events, require checks, and remix testing.

Create a token folder on the desktop and install Node.js, npm, and the Solidity compiler. Open Windows PowerShell, install Visual Studio code, and start coding the smart contract.

set up Mac or Linux development tools by installing node and npm, creating a token project folder on the desktop, and installing the Solidity compiler and Visual Studio Code.

Switch from remix to Visual Studio Code, paste educ token.sol, adjust for decimals, and create a node-based script to output an FBI and a bean file for deployment on Polygon.

Write a deployment script using Truffle HD Wallet Provider and Web3 to deploy your ERC-20 token on Polygon, including Metamask setup and a testnet deployment.

Deploy your cryptocurrency smart contract on the Polygon Mumbai testnet using Infra, fund with fake magic, and verify deployment on Polygon Scan.

Deploy your ERC-20 cryptocurrency on polygon mainnet by updating deployment scripts, estimating gas in gwei, acquiring matic, and verifying deployment with polygon scan and metamask.

Get practical answers to common ERC-20 token questions on Polygon, covering function naming, capitalization, deployment troubleshooting, MetaMask interactions, and adhering to the ERC-20 standard.

Set the price of your cryptocurrency by creating a liquidity pool on Uniswap on polygon, balancing your token with a stablecoin, and understanding slippage and the constant k.

Deploy your cryptocurrency on Ethereum mainnet and compare costs with Polygon deployments, noting higher fees and guiding you to a dedicated course and resources for mainnet deployment.

Deploy your cryptocurrency on the Binance Smart Chain to enjoy low transaction fees. Join the course dedicated to this blockchain to get support with deployment.

Learn to create a cryptocurrency using ERC-20 tokens on the Polygon blockchain, and continue learning with lifetime access and frequent course updates.

Access consulting and personalized support to design and deploy a cryptocurrency on the blockchain, with email help for course questions and optional hourly face-to-face consultations worldwide in English or French.
