Tutorials

"My Token" Tutorial Series

Create a token smart contract from scratch using Python's Contracting package. The simple smart contract will mint an initial supply to a user of our choice and then define a tansfer method for our users to use. To finish it off we create unit test to validate our new smart contact does exactly what we want it to do.
