Create Native Tokens

The stardust update allows you to create your own native tokens Native tokens are minted by a so-called Foundry. The Foundry allows you to specify a max supply once and change the circulating supply. You can also specify some custom metadata in the foundry output or follow a standard like IRC30.
To create a Foundry you need an Alias Output which owns it. This Alias Output only needs to be generated once and can own multiple foundries.

Online Faucet

You can request test funds from the Shimmer Testnet Faucet.

Code Example​

The following example will:

  1. Create a wallet.
  2. Get Alice's account which was created in the first guide.
  3. Create the CreateNativeTokenParams.
  4. Create the native token by calling the Account.create_native_token(params, options) function.
