ERC20 Tokens

How to make your own Ethereum-based ERC20 Token and launch ICO

Lately, I have been digging into blockchain and decentralized applications to educate myself and improve my knowledge. To make the learning process enjoyable, I decided to build my own Ethereum-based token and understand the ICO (Initial Coin Offering) launch process.

This article aims to give you an idea of how smart contracts work at Ethereum by launching a simple ICO demo.

Basics

Here are some basic terms that we will use in this article. If you are familiar with the following concepts, don't hesitate to move on to the next section.

ERC20 tokens based on Ethereum: In Ethereum tokens represent tradable items such as coins, loyalty points, etc. You can make your own cryptocurrency based on Ethereum. Additionally, the benefit of following the ERC20 standard is that your token will be compatible with other clients or wallets that use the same standard.
Smart Contracts: Smart Contracts are blocks of self-executed code used on the Ethereum blockchain. They contain data & function codes. Contracts make decisions, interact with other contracts, store data and transfer Ether (cryptocurrency units in the Ethereum blockchain) between users.
Solidity: Language for writing smart contracts.
MetaMask / Mist / MEW Wallet: A digital facility that stores your Ether and Ethereum-based tokens.

Now that you know the basic terminology used in this article, let's get started.

Step 1: Code

Open your favorite text editor and paste the following code:


pragma solidity ^0.4.4;

contract CCA {

    /// @return total amount of tokens
    function totalSupply() constant returns (uint256 supply) {}

    /// @param _owner The address from which the balance will be retrieved
    /// @return The balance
    function balanceOf(address _owner) constant returns (uint256 balance) {}

    /// @notice send `_value` token to `_to` from `msg.sender`
    /// @param _to The address of the recipient
    /// @param _value The amount of token to be transferred
    /// @return Whether the transfer was successful or not
    function transfer(address _to, uint256 _value) returns (bool success) {}

    /// @notice send `_value` token to `_to` from `_from` on the condition it is approved by `_from`
    /// @param _from The address of the sender
    /// @param _to The address of the recipient
    /// @param _value The amount of token to be transferred
    /// @return Whether the transfer was successful or not
    function transferFrom(address _from, address _to, uint256 _value) returns (bool success) {}

    /// @notice `msg.sender` approves `_addr` to spend `_value` tokens
    /// @param _spender The address of the account able to transfer the tokens
    /// @param _value The amount of wei to be approved for transfer
    /// @return Whether the approval was successful or not
    function approve(address _spender, uint256 _value) returns (bool success) {}

    /// @param _owner The address of the account owning tokens
    /// @param _spender The address of the account able to transfer the tokens
    /// @return Amount of remaining tokens allowed to spent
    function allowance(address _owner, address _spender) constant returns (uint256 remaining) {}

    event Transfer(address indexed _from, address indexed _to, uint256 _value);
    event Approval(address indexed _owner, address indexed _spender, uint256 _value);

}

contract StandardCCA is CCA {

    function transfer(address _to, uint256 _value) returns (bool success) {
        //Default assumes totalSupply can't be over max (2^256 - 1).
        //If your token leaves out totalSupply and can issue more tokens as time goes on, you need to check if it doesn't wrap.
        //Replace the if with this one instead.
        //if (balances[msg.sender] >= _value && balances[_to] + _value > balances[_to]) {
        if (balances[msg.sender] >= _value && _value > 0) {
            balances[msg.sender] -= _value;
            balances[_to] += _value;
            Transfer(msg.sender, _to, _value);
            return true;
        } else { return false; }
    }

    function transferFrom(address _from, address _to, uint256 _value) returns (bool success) {
        //same as above. Replace this line with the following if you want to protect against wrapping uints.
        //if (balances[_from] >= _value && allowed[_from][msg.sender] >= _value && balances[_to] + _value > balances[_to]) {
        if (balances[_from] >= _value && allowed[_from][msg.sender] >= _value && _value > 0) {
            balances[_to] += _value;
            balances[_from] -= _value;
            allowed[_from][msg.sender] -= _value;
            Transfer(_from, _to, _value);
            return true;
        } else { return false; }
    }

    function balanceOf(address _owner) constant returns (uint256 balance) {
        return balances[_owner];
    }

    function approve(address _spender, uint256 _value) returns (bool success) {
        allowed[msg.sender][_spender] = _value;
        Approval(msg.sender, _spender, _value);
        return true;
    }

    function allowance(address _owner, address _spender) constant returns (uint256 remaining) {
      return allowed[_owner][_spender];
    }

    mapping (address => uint256) balances;
    mapping (address => mapping (address => uint256)) allowed;
    uint256 public totalSupply;
}

contract CoinCryptoAsia is StandardCCA { // CHANGE THIS. Update the contract name.

    /* Public variables of the token */

    /*
    NOTE:
    The following variables are OPTIONAL vanities. One does not have to include them.
    They allow one to customise the token contract & in no way influences the core functionality.

The code above uses the Solidity language to build a simple ERC20 token. This code is well commented on and very easy to understand. After you paste the code into your text editor, look for the text: "REPLACE THIS". This is what you need to change based on the characteristics of your token. In the example above, I have named my token CoinCryptoAsia (CCA). Total supply is limited to 1000, but people can have at least 0.000000000000000001 because of 18 decimal places. In addition, the contract owner (the person who executes it) gets all the initial tokens. I have set the ICO price as follows:

1 ETH = CCA 1.000

This means, if someone sends 1 ETH to this smart contract, they will get 1.000 units.
