The recent rapid development of TRON has brought a wide range of application opportunities to its ecosystem, especially its outstanding performance in stablecoin transactions. According to data, TRON's USDT transaction volume in the second quarter of 2024 was as high as 1.25 trillion US dollars, almost reaching Visa's settlement volume.
As the TRON chain's position in global transactions gradually increases, the project parties in its ecosystem have an increasing demand for efficient token issuance and management tools. However, if you don't understand code or technology, it is indeed a little difficult to issue tokens on the TRON chain.
This article will teach you how to issue tokens on the TRON chain using a one-click token issuance platform like PandaTool. The entire token issuance process is roughly as follows:
Enter PandaTool and connect your wallet
Fill in token parameters, such as full name, abbreviation, etc.
Creating Tokens
Token contract verification and open source
Token information entry and logo upload
Next, I will introduce the whole process to you one by one
1. TRON Token Issuance
1. Enter PandaTool and connect your wallet
The first step in all coin issuance tutorials is to connect to a wallet. First, open the URL where the TRON token is created: https://tron.pandatool.org/ and click on the wallet link in the upper right corner.
At this time, the TronLink wallet prompt will pop up, just follow the prompts and click to connect
After the connection is successful, the wallet address will appear in the upper right corner, indicating that you can proceed to the next step
2. Fill in token parameters
Today we are only teaching standard coins. All parameters are very simple, just 4: full name, abbreviation, accuracy and supply
Full name: no more than 32 characters, English is recommended (Note: Chinese tokens may be blocked)
Abbreviation: usually 2~8 characters, English is recommended (Note: Chinese tokens may be blocked)
Precision: Maximum is 9, minimum is 1
Supply: As long as the number is not particularly outrageous, there is no upper limit
For example, if I want to release a product called PandaTool, abbreviated as PT, then fill in the form as follows
3. Token Creation
After confirming that the information you filled in is correct, click the "Create Now" button, and a wallet will pop up for you to sign and confirm.
On the wallet confirmation page, you can see a TRX consumption. This consumption is mainly used to burn and obtain energy. It takes about 560,000 to 600,000 energy to issue a coin, and you can get this energy by burning about 122 TRX. If there is enough energy in the wallet, this TRX fee can be saved.
After we click on the signature, wait a few seconds and the coin issuance is completed.
On the successful token issuance page, you can see your token address. At this point, the entire token issuance work is halfway completed. Next, you can continue to open source the token and add information.
2. TRON Token Contract Verification and Open Source
1. Find the open source entrance
First, we need to find the open source entrance in the official TRON browser. Open the browser link: https://tronscan.org/, ignore everything else, and set the language first.
Scroll to the bottom of the browser, find Preferences and click to set preferences.
Then select Chinese in the settings that appear and click Save.
When the browser changes to Chinese, we click on the upper right corner to connect to the wallet and log in to the browser
After the wallet is successfully connected, we find [More] in the top menu bar, and then select [Contract Verification] in the function list that appears.
2. Fill in the open source parameters and upload the source code
On the open source contract page, we can see this information:
If you feel confused, don’t worry, I will teach you how to fill it out one by one.
Contract address: This is easy to understand, it is your token address
Contract name: Enter PandaToken (note that the capitalization must be correct)
Compiler version: Select tron_v0.8.18
License: Select MIT
Optimize: Yes
Runs：No
What you need to pay attention to is that, except for the contract address, everything else must be correct. For example, the information I filled in is roughly like this:
After filling in the parameters, it is time to upload the contract file. We will upload the contract file we just downloaded. If you have not downloaded it, you can click here to download it.
PandaTool contract source code.sol
Once the contract file is uploaded successfully, you can see the source code
3. Verify and publish
After uploading the file, scroll down the page and you will find a prompt for human-machine verification. Click it to proceed with Google human-machine verification.
After the human-machine verification is completed, click [Verify and Publish]
Wait for a few seconds. If the open source is successful, you will be redirected to a new page where you can see your contract source code.
If the open source fails, the following prompt will be given
At this point you need to check again to see if the open source parameters are filled in correctly. After re-filling, refresh the page and try again.
3. TRON Token Information Update
1. Find the issued token
Just like the open source contract, we also need to enter the official browser of TRON and perform Chinese settings, wallet connection and other operations in turn. This part will not be expanded.
After the wallet is connected, click on the wallet address in the upper right corner and select [Wallet Management]
After that, you can see your wallet information, including energy and so on. Click [Issue Token] on the left.
At this point you can see all the tokens issued in your wallet. If you want to enter a token, select it and click [Update Token] information.
2. Update token information
After we click Update Token Information, you will be asked to select the token type. The default is TRC20. We just click Next and we will see the page for updating token information.
Most of the information on this page has been automatically entered. We only need to fill in the information marked with asterisks. The required information is as follows:
Token Description: This is the introduction/description of your token, no more than 200 characters
Token logo: your token logo, pay attention to the size and dimensions (100*100)
Project official website: A link must be provided (it doesn’t have to be your own)
Official email address: You must provide an email address (it doesn’t have to be your own)
Social media: optional
Of all the information here, the logo is a little more difficult to upload. You need to get the size according to his requirements, and then when uploading, the wallet needs to confirm the signature, as shown below
In general, the more comprehensive the token information is, the higher the corresponding score will be. For example, the information filled in for PandaTool
After confirming that the filled information is correct, we click Next to submit the information.
After clicking the submit button, the wallet will pop up for signature confirmation
After a few seconds, you will be prompted that the update is successful.
But please note that this is just a prompt from the browser. In fact, the data may not have been updated yet. We need to wait for more than ten minutes and then check the tokens, and you will find that the data has been uploaded.
The above is about the entire process of TRON token, from issuance to open source to uploading data.
