This repository is related to the [How To Develop a Cryptocurrency - The Complete Guide (2022)](https://vitto.cc/how-to-develop-a-cryptocurrency-the-complete-2022-guide/) tutorial. It contains the boilerplates code for a functioning ERC20 Token - Crypto.

## Prerequisites

- **VSCode**

- **MetaMask**

## Installation

Install the node packages:

```bash

yarn install

```

Compile the Smart Contracts:

```bash

npx hardhat compile

```

## Deploy the Token on Polygon Mumbai

Everything explained above is extensively explained in the [How To Develop a Cryptocurrency - The Complete Guide (2022)](https://vitto.cc/how-to-develop-a-cryptocurrency-the-complete-2022-guide/) 

1. Create a new file called ".env" in the root folder of the project.

2. Create a new variable in the .env file, and name it: **PRIVATE_KEY**

3. Retrieve your wallet's private key and assign it to the PRIVATE_KEY variable

4. Grab you **Polygon Mumbai Testnet** URL on [Alchemy](https://www.alchemy.com/)

5. Substitute "YOUR ALCHEMY POLYGON MUMBAI ENDPOINT" with your URL

6. Get some test MATIC from an online faucet such as [this one](https://faucet.polygon.technology/)

Once everything is read, run the following code in your terminal:

```bash

npx hardhat run ./scripts/deploy.js --network mumbai

```

This will log the address of the newly deployed Ttoken.

7. Go to Metamask and add the newly deployed token
