Issue your own tokens on EOS
This article mainly introduces how to issue your own tokens on EOS. The following experiments are based on the version of EOSO/EOS:20180521.
Create KEY
Here first create a pair of keys:
cleos create key
Then I get a pair of keys, here I omit the Private key
Private key: ************************************
Public key: EOS8NFJ49egRRjp4j2kySikZPZ68rWQy5KAR12wygooLPw8ThUqAc
Create Wallet
Then we create a wallet, and here is the wallet called token, where -n is used to specify the wallet name.
cleos wallet create -n token
Get wallet password:
***********************************
Import private key
Then import the private key we created in the first step:
cleos wallet import -n token *******(please replace this with the private key obtained in the first step)
Create Account
Then we can create an account noprom with the public key from the first step:
cleos create account eosio noprom EOS8NFJ49egRRjp4j2kySikZPZ68rWQy5KAR12wygooLPw8ThUqAc EOS8NFJ49egRRjp4j2kySikZPZ68rWQy5KAR12wygooLPw8ThUqAc
Got the result:
executed transaction: 12bb1933cf9363699abebe421bcb22e8b39c86065505f5528c171857a99d1613 200 bytes 364 us
eosio <= eosio::newaccount {"creator":"eosio","name":"noprom","owner":{"threshold":1,"keys":[{"key":"EOS8NFJ49egRRjp4j2kySikZPZ...
The parameter here means that an account named noprom is created by the account of eosio. The public key of this account is EOS8NFJ49egRRjp4j2kySikZPZ68rWQy5KAR12wygooLPw8ThUqAc created in the first step. For the sake of simplicity, we temporarily set the keys of type 2 to the same one. The two keys are the owner and active keys.
In the same way, we create another account called xiaoming:
cleos create account eosio xiaoming EOS8NFJ49egRRjp4j2kySikZPZ68rWQy5KAR12wygooLPw8ThUqAc EOS8NFJ49egRRjp4j2kySikZPZ68rWQy5KAR12wygooLPw8ThUqAc
Got the result:
executed transaction: 5fba9946ddb63e3a438875ada8be009771ff2b8b08140db36b4f1f2155fe46f2 200 bytes 350 us
eosio <= eosio::newaccount {"creator":"eosio","name":"xiaoming","owner":{"threshold":1,"keys":[{"key":"EOS8NFJ49egRRjp4j2kySikZ...
Deploy a token contract
First create an account that specifically deploys this contract:
cleos create account eosio eosio.token EOS69CVnKwKMbNfGpdjfYMdLrvUwUenHDbSw9pFQHT9iaFUTWSA8Q EOS69CVnKwKMbNfGpdjfYMdLrvUwUenHDbSw9pFQHT9iaFUTWSA8Q
Then we deploy the contract eosio.token:
cleos set contract eosio.token /opt/eosio/bin/data-dir/contracts/eosio.token -p eosio.token
This will complete the deployment of the contract.
Issue a token
cleos push action eosio.token create '[ "eosio", "1000000000.0000 EOSDEVS", 0, 0, 0]' -p eosio.token
Got the result:
executed transaction: 31508996812b5d6369c099e30047fab919b294baba12eae434f755a6aef2327a 120 bytes 423 us
eosio.token <= eosio.token::create {"issuer":"eosio","maximum_supply":"1000000000.0000 EOSDEVS"}
Here we implement the create method in the contract of eosio.token. The purpose of this method is to create a token.
Here we have created a token called EOSDEVS. The issuer is the eosio account. The total number of issues is 1000000000.0000. Use the user eosio.token to create this token.
Send token to user
Then we can issue the EOSDEVS token we just created to the user we just created:
cleos push action eosio.token issue '[ "noprom", "10.0000 EOSDEVS", "created by eosdevs" ]' -p eosio
Got the result:
executed transaction: 82059a49ada36b1124359314b6a139eba2e4b917da8240aec1f8a0ac378249c9 136 bytes 1162 us
eosio.token <= eosio.token::issue {"to":"noprom","quantity":"10.0000 EOSDEVS","memo":"created by eosdevs"}
eosio.token <= eosio.token::transfer {"from":"eosio","to":"noprom","quantity":"10.0000 EOSDEVS","memo":"created by eosdevs"}
eosio <= eosio.token::transfer {"from":"eosio","to":"noprom","quantity":"10.0000 EOSDEVS","memo":"created by eosdevs"}
noprom <= eosio.token::transfer {"from":"eosio","to":"noprom","quantity":"10.0000 EOSDEVS","memo":"created by eosdevs"}
This action sends 10 EOSDEVS tokens to the noprom account and adds a note: created by eosdevs.
Get account balance
We can get the user's account balance by the following method:
cleos get currency balance eosio.token noprom
You can get:
10.0000 EOSDEVS
Where eosio.token is the contract we deploy and noprom is the account name.
Transfer
To transfer, we can call the transfer method in the contract eosio.token:
cleos push action eosio.token transfer '[ "noprom", "xiaoming", "5.0000 EOSDEVS", "Transfer from noprom to xiaoming" ]' -p noprom
Got the result:
executed transaction: 46d84306ee989d3c75235b2271ab9baed336b3fe403473357cbad3cf4094c756 160 bytes 937 us
eosio.token <= eosio.token::transfer {"from":"noprom","to":"xiaoming","quantity":"5.0000 EOSDEVS","memo":"Transfer from noprom to xiaomin...
noprom <= eosio.token::transfer {"from":"noprom","to":"xiaoming","quantity":"5.0000 EOSDEVS","memo":"Transfer from noprom to xiaomin...
xiaoming <= eosio.token::transfer {"from":"noprom","to":"xiaoming","quantity":"5.0000 EOSDEVS","memo":"Transfer from noprom to xiaomin...
Here we transferred 5 EOSDEVS tokens from the noprom account to xiaoming. The note is Transfer from noprom to xiaoming.
Then we can check the account balance of noprom and xiaoming:
cleos get currency balance eosio.token noprom
5.0000 EOSDEVS
cleos get currency balance eosio.token xiaoming
You can see that the transfer was successful. noprom and xiaoming have 5 EOSDEVS tokens.
