In this video we examine why you might want to build your own token or crypto currency. We take a close look at the ERC20 standard in Ethereum that sets out the minimum requirements for parameters, functions and events that a currency needs to possess.
By implementing this standard you can ensure interoperability with a whole host of other Ethereum infrastructure that has been built to transfer crypto.
We build a coin and deployed it to a blockchain. Using block explorer we are able to see the implementation of and interact with ERC20 contract. The code is the contract & the contract is the code.
If you are interested in developing your own crypto currency and are curious to see the Solidity code used to deploy and mint your own tokens then take a look at address 0x99cF829fD26806379979be6c25e7487A63c157e5 on the Rinkeby Test network. You can use a block explorer such as Etherscan to fo this. Please visit this address: https://rinkeby.etherscan.io/address/0x99cf829fd26806379979be6c25e7487a63c157e5#code Here you can browse and interact with the SmartContract for a test version of the 'Luci' token.
