Launch a Token on Rootstock: Leverage Bitcoin's Security with Smart Contracts
- This tutorial explains how to create and deploy a Bitcoin-based token on the Rootstock (RSK) blockchain using Solidity smart contract capabilities.
- The guide covers setting up development environment, writing a Bitcoin-based token smart contract using Solidity, deploying the smart contract on the Rootstock network, and interacting with the token via a decentralized application (DApp).
- The prerequisites include Node.js, NPM, Hardhat, MetaMask (or any web3 wallet), a Rootstock (RSK) testnet account, and basic understanding of Solidity and JavaScript.
- The guide thoroughly lists the steps required to set up the development environment, write smart contracts and deploy them on Rootstock.
- The course of the tutorial includes setting up the environment and writing code for a simple ERC-20 contract in Solidity. The contract adheres to the standard of fungible tokens on Ethereum-like networks.
- Scripts are created to deploy token contracts after Hardhat installation and configuration of the Rootstock network with environment variables.
- Web3 libraries like ethers and wagmi are used to connect the DApp front end to MetaMask. The DApp allows to retrieve connected account’s token balance and display it.
- Finally, tests are conducted on Hardhat to ensure seamless operation.
- This guide serves as credible learning material for blockchain developers looking to develop on Rootstock (RSK) using Bitcoin's powerful security without compromising on smart contract capabilities.
