ETH-MyToken

This Solidity program defines a basic ERC-20-like token on the Ethereum blockchain. It demonstrates creating a smart contract for a cryptocurrency token, including functionalities for minting and burning tokens. This contract is a foundational piece for anyone looking to understand or develop their own tokens on Ethereum.

Description

This program is a smart contract written in Solidity, designed for the Ethereum blockchain. It includes the following features:

A token with a name, symbol, and total supply.
A mapping of addresses to their respective balances.
A mint function to increase the total supply and an address's balance.
A burn function to decrease the total supply and an address's balance, with checks to ensure the address has enough balance to burn.

This contract serves as a basic example of a token contract, providing a clear starting point for more complex token implementations or other blockchain-based projects.

Getting Started

Executing program

To run this program, you can use Remix, an online Solidity IDE. Follow these steps:

Go to the Remix website at https://remix.ethereum.org/.
Create a new file by clicking on the "+" icon in the left-hand sidebar. Save the file with a .sol extension (e.g., MyToken.sol).
Copy and paste the provided Solidity code into the file.
To compile the code, click on the "Solidity Compiler" tab in the left-hand sidebar. Make sure the "Compiler" option is set to a compatible version (e.g., "0.8.18"), and then click on the "Compile MyToken.sol" button.
Once the code is compiled, deploy the contract by clicking on the "Deploy & Run Transactions" tab in the left-hand sidebar. Select the "MyToken" contract from the dropdown menu, and then click on the "Deploy" button.
After deploying, you can interact with the contract by calling its mint and burn functions. Select the deployed "MyToken" contract in the left-hand sidebar to see these functions and interact with them.
