Here’s a comprehensive article on how to buy self-created ERC-20 Tokens via Simple Transactions on the Ethereum blockchain using metamask:
Metamask: A Guide to Buying Self-Created ERC-20 Tokens
Tokens using your metamask wallet. The Token’s Address, and making the Transaction.
Step 1: Create a Smart Contract
First, let’s assume you have created a smart contract that generates ERC-20 tokens. This is the foundation of our transaction. .
Here’s an example of how to deploy a simple contract:
`Solidity
Pragma Solidity ^0.8.0;
mytoken contract {
Uint Public Totalsupply;
Constructor () {
Totalsupply = 100000000;
}
}
Step 2: Get the Address Contract
Once you’ve deployed your smart contract, you need to get its address. You can do this by accessing the address property of the contract object.
Here’s an example:
`Solidity
mytoken contract {
// ...
Function GetContractAddaddress () Public View Returns (Address) {
Return Address (This);
}
}
Step 3: Get the Token’s Symbol and Name
The token’s symbol and name are essential for buying and selling tokens. You can retrieve these information using the symbol andname properties of the contract object.
Here’s an example:
`Solidity
mytoken contract {
// ...
Function Getsymbol () Public View Returns (String) {
Return "Mytoken";
}
}
Step 4: Set Up Metamask
Before we can make a transaction, you need to set up your metamask wallet. If you don’t have one already, follow these steps:
.
- Enter your Ethereum address.
3.
Step 5: Deposit ether
To deploy the contract, you need to deposit some ether (ETH) into your metamask wallet. Here’s How:
.
- Click on “Exchange” or “Deposit” and select “eth” as the token.
- Enter the Amount of Eth you want to deposit.
Step 6: Deploy the Contract
Once you have deposited ETH, you can deploy the contract using metamask:
.
- Click on “Connect Wallet” or “Add Token”.
- Select “ERC-721” (for self-created ERC-20 Tokens).
4.
5.
Step 7: Create a Transaction
Once you’ve configured Metamask, Create a Transaction:
.
- Click on “Connect Wallet” or “Add Token”.
- Select “ERC-721” (for self-created ERC-20 Tokens).
4.
5.
- Click on “Create Transaction”.
Step 8: Confirm and Execute the Transaction
Metamask will now confirm your transaction. “Confirm” to execute the transaction.
The contract should deploy successfully, and you should receive a confirmation message from metamask.
That’s it! You’ve successfully bought self-created ERC-20 tokens using metamask.
