CREATE A CUSTOM TOKEN AND DEPLOY IT ON ROPSTEN NETWORK

Abstract

This book chapter serves as a practical guide for individuals keen on understanding the process of creating a custom ERC-20 token and deploying it on the Ropsten network using MetaMask. The chapter delves into the foundational knowledge required to comprehend blockchain technology, Ethereum, smart contracts, and the significance of custom tokens in the decentralized ecosystem. Subsequently, the chapter provides a step-by-step tutorial on creating a custom token using Solidity, a programming language for writing smart contracts on the Ethereum blockchain. The practical guide transitions into elucidating the process of deploying the custom token on the Ropsten test network using MetaMask, a popular Ethereum wallet and gateway to blockchain applications. It covers setting up MetaMask, obtaining test ether, compiling and deploying the smart contract, and verifying the deployment on the Ropsten network through Etherscan.
