Great Tutorial! Easy to follow. Many Thanks

[@cse9003]

simple, fast, easy and effective thanks bro

[@HeyTiGBeats]

Amazing tutorial man, thanks. One thing, I notice you didn't use "override" when implementing the methods, any particular reason?

[@abiolaolafare8878]

Amazing tutorial. How do i add value to the token to be able to show on balance

[@kevinmartinez4866]

Is there a difference between using a library aside from one being more complex than the other?

[@djhypnotize]

GREAT VIDEO, JUST SUBBED!! Im having trouble bc I created the token using sepolia,, great video btw and when I imported to metamask they don't show up. Can you help me, please? Also how do I edit the token later?

[@AllinOne-qc5it]

Nice! Can you do a video with new functionality like, burn, renounce contact, reflection, antiwhale... Thanks

[@ThirdEyeJo3]

This is a very good breakdown thx

[@QuickNode]

Glad you loved it! 🤜🤛

[@najeemfasil5199]

Great Tutorial!

[@willliamsgaryreateguisanto2128]

Thanks for ur info. If the token have team, for example: 20% owner, 10% project. So when i make the transfer the accounts only receive 30% of all tokens availables. What happens with the rest of the unused coins, where do they stay? thanks

[@r2d28899]

thank you for sharing.

[@aaronmatos5581]

What about the tokenomics? And then how to add to liquidity through tokenomics automatically?

[@xxxcxholic3384]

what I am stuck on is How do you upload those OpenZeppelin smart contract presets to remix? there is no download file

[@Andy_B.]

hi, in your article it is on sepolia testnet... so, it is not on mainnet?! thanks.

[@user-py8zi3cw9c]

How can one create and deposit tether erc 20 to coinbase wallet or trust wallet Also can I transfer this from one wallet to another?

[@donyemitchell1696]

Can you help me create the short programming for my own token to help with my non profit token?

[@arnold871]

Thanks for the explanations. How can a contract be deployed with a hardware wallet like Ledger or BitBox?

[@QuickNode]

You can deploy with a hardware wallet. Just follow the usual steps and deploy through Remix, confirming the transaction in Metamask as you normally would.

[@bearsbestanimals]

Awsome vid. How do I add/change the picture for the token? Thanks

[@QuickNode]

Which picture do you mean specifically? There's no picture setup at the smart contract level.

[@FURCYROSS]

@@QuickNode He means after then, like on DEX you see a little icon with the name

[@harshjumnani7766]

where is the code in the video for quicknode token

[@JOHNSONPARTNERS]

WOW, Thank you. How do you actually deploy on Ethereum network not testnet?

[@QuickNode]

Exactly the same process, just choosing Mainnet instead of a testnet. You need to make sure to have enough ETH in the wallet you would be deploying it from.

[@lavishpilot7519]

where am suppose to input address which address am i suppose to input

[@KoDDii]

Hey .. great Alpha

[@light-light]

what is good for make own token based on ethereum (erc20) or binance (bep20)? what is erc20's benefit despite of expensive transaction fee?

[@TrueIndianAccent]

can i get test net for pulsechain?

[@remig6349]

you good. dzieki

[@nidhii04]

how to launch this on the mainnet

[@AttackRyno]

is this still valid for Base chain ?? great video thx!

[@QuickNode]

Yes it is

[@Madwarbit]

i am trying for 3 days now.the code you have given is wrong from the github,dose not match of what you are showing.there are some mistakes.i have copy pasted it and it shows some of the missing key words,if i correct them then syntax error,if i fix it then some other anoying error.kindly update the code please.

@@QuickNode wiesz może jak zrobić tax do tego contractu?

[@kadajdevil8742]

My error is this..please help We re sorry we were unable to process your payment for this order .As a result your order darkart66 has been cancelled due to insufficient ERc_20 token on your seller account

[@Glow0110]

How would I create a tax on the token that automatically adds to liquidity?

[@QuickNode]

You can import a separate contract that can the be imported into your ERC20 smart contract and it will handle the tax for you. Example of such a contract: polygonscan.com/address/0xAA9001C616e73AD50a23454Fe2491d1450a81191#code You can update the tax amount within a hardcoded range of 0.25% to 15%. Make sure to update the tax destination address to your own. Tax can also be toggled on or off.

[@Glow0110]

@@QuickNode Thanks for your response. I am really curious how I would manually code the tax though. I want to learn how it works and create it myself rather than importing another contract.

[@QuickNode]

Instead of importing, you can take that whole contract and put it into yours, then modify the parts you need. Specifically, take a look at function _transfer. It requires or doesn't require tax, based on role, and then transfer funds with additional tax.

[@ekwh84]

@@Glow0110 It’s good to know how it works and you should know what functions are being used. But it’s not a bad idea to import the openzeppelin libraries they are tested and audited and save you alot of time.

[@chorroesquincles]

This is not deploying anything show how to deploy and to actually deploy deploy the token into an exchange in order to sell

[@light-light]

so then how to distribute tokens to people? each one by one transaction? by pay Ethereum gas? which is expensive..

[@phetrusrodrigues8710]

I keep getting this error no matter what I do :(.
