Deploying Your ERC-20 Token on the PointPay Network with Thirdweb

Thirdweb offers an easy way to deploy your ERC-20 token contract on the PointPay network. Here's how to create and deploy your token "Your Token Name" (YTN) using their tools.

Step 1: Set Up Your Environment

1. Install Tools:

   • Start with the Thirdweb SDK using npm:

     npm install @thirdweb-dev/sdk ethers

2. Configure Your Wallet: Use MetaMask or a compatible wallet and connect it to the PointPay network:

   • For Mainnet, use https://rpc-mainnet.pointpay.io as the RPC endpoint and 5511 as the Chain ID.

   • For TestNet, use https://rpc-testnet.pointpay.io as the RPC endpoint and 5511555 as the Chain ID.

   • Set PXP as the currency symbol in both cases.

3. Fund Your Wallet: Ensure your wallet has enough PXP tokens for gas fees. For testing, you can use the PointPay TestNet Faucet.

Step 2: Write the Token Contract 🖋

Create a basic ERC-20 token contract using OpenZeppelin's templates. Here’s an example for "Your Token Name" (YTN):

// SPDX-License-Identifier: MIT
pragma solidity ^0.8.0;
import "@openzeppelin/contracts/token/ERC20/ERC20.sol";

contract YourTokenName is ERC20 {
    constructor() ERC20("Your Token Name", "YTN") {
        _mint(msg.sender, 1000000 * 10 ** decimals());
    }
}

Save this file as YourTokenName.sol.

Step 3: Deploy Your Contract with Thirdweb

1. Go to Thirdweb Dashboard: Open the Thirdweb Dashboard and connect your wallet.

2. Select the PointPay Network: Choose Mainnet or TestNet, depending on your deployment target.

3. Upload and Deploy the Contract:

   • Click "Deploy Contract."

   • Upload the YourTokenName.sol file.

   • Enter the following parameters:

     • Token Name: Your Token Name

     • Symbol: YTN

     • Total Supply: 1,000,000 tokens.

   • Confirm the transaction in your wallet.

4. Verify Deployment:

   • For Mainnet, use https://explorer.pointpay.io to view your deployed contract.

   • For TestNet, check the deployment on https://testnet.pointpay.io.

Step 4: Manage and Interact with Your Token

After deployment, use the Thirdweb SDK to interact with your contract:

import { ThirdwebSDK } from "@thirdweb-dev/sdk";
import { ethers } from "ethers";

const sdk = new ThirdwebSDK(
    new ethers.Wallet(
        "YOUR_PRIVATE_KEY", // Replace with your private key
        ethers.getDefaultProvider("https://rpc-mainnet.pointpay.io") // For Mainnet; replace with TestNet URL if needed
    )
);

const contract = await sdk.getContract("YOUR_CONTRACT_ADDRESS");
console.log(await contract.call("name")); // Outputs: Your Token Name
