Crypto (ERC-20)

Welcome to the documentation of the ERC-20 or crypto currencies as it is known worldwide! If you are not so familiar with the smart contract develop, or how you can interact with ERC-20 contract methods Vottun offer this specific interface to make easier this task. With this API, you can easily deploy ERC20 contracts, transfer and allow others to transfer tokens on your behalf, and retrieve all useful information about tokens (name, symbol, total supply, decimals, etc). Let's get started!

Endpoints

Deploy

This endpoint deploys an ERC-20 smart contract and mints the amount of tokens that you want to be created. The call that must be performed is:

POST https://api.vottun.tech/erc/v1/erc20/deploy

Request

The request must include a json body with the following fields:

name	type	required	description	example
`name`	string	yes	This field represents the name of the token.	VottunToken
`symbol`	string	yes	This field represents the symbol the token. It is a shorter abbreviation used to identify the token in a more concise manner.	TKN
`alias`	string	yes	This field represents an alias or a user-friendly nickname for the token. It's often used for display purposes and can provide additional information about the token.	my first token
`initualSupply`	int	yes	This field represents the initial supply of the token.	1000000000000000000000000000
`network`	int	yes	The chain id	43113
`gasLimit`	int	no	the maximum amount of work you estimate a validator will do for the transaction. It this field is not set, the platform will estimate the gas in background before sending the transaction.	4000000

Example

{
    "name": "VottunToken",
    "symbol": "TKN",
    "alias": "my first token",
    "initialSupply": 1000000000000000000000000000,
    "network": 43113,
    "gasLimit": 6000000
}

Response

It will return a json with the following fields:

name	type	description	example
`contractAddress`	string	The contract Address	0x62F0E381Cd7f3e856176abb2b9cB7Eb02856C511
`txHash`	string	The transaction Hash	0x72f9f35c4fe92b6580..6db6719e903

Example
