Introducción
Vamos a crear nuestros propios tokens Ethereum ERC20 en una red de pruebas.
He empezado una cadena de tutoriales sobre criptomonedas que pedéis seguir aquí:

Uno de los recursos que he empezado a seguir es https://cryptozombies.io/es/ que te va enseñando como ir trabajando con la tecnología. Pero en paralelo quiero ir haciendo pruebas complementarias.
Una de esas pruebas es crear mis propios tokens y he encontrado este tutorial «How To Create Your Own Ethereum Token In An Hour (ERC20 + Verified)» que voy a tratar de reproducir.
La cosa parece fácil y básicamente los pasos son:
- Usar el contrato creado por https://github.com/ConsenSys/Token-Factory para crear tu propio token (simplemente cambiando el valor de unas pocas variables).
- Compilarlo en Remix.
- Desplegarlo desde Remix en la red de pruebas usando tu monedero con contexto inyectado por MetaMask.
Como siempre con criptomonedas te entretienes un rato hasta que consigues que funcionen las cosas y hay que hacer alguna cosita más de la que encuentras en artículos más antiguos.
Creando mis propios Tokens
Lo primero que hacemos es localizar la fuente de https://github.com/ConsenSys/Token-Factory
Este es el fichero fuente original de HumanStandardToken.sol
/*
This Token Contract implements the standard token functionality (https://github.com/ethereum/EIPs/issues/20) as well as the following OPTIONAL extras intended for use by humans.
In other words. This is intended for deployment in something like a Token Factory or Mist wallet, and then used by humans.
Imagine coins, currencies, shares, voting weight, etc.
Machine-based, rapid creation of many tokens would not necessarily need these extra features or will be minted in other manners.
1) Initial Finite Supply (upon creation one specifies how much is minted).
2) In the absence of a token registry: Optional Decimal, Symbol & Name.
3) Optional approveAndCall() functionality to notify a contract if an approval() has occurred.

pragma solidity ^0.4.4;
import "./StandardToken.sol";
contract HumanStandardToken is StandardToken {
function () {
//if ether is sent to this address, send it back.
throw;
}
/* Public variables of the token */
/*
NOTE:
The following variables are OPTIONAL vanities. One does not have to include them.
They allow one to customise the token contract & in no way influences the core functionality.
Some wallets/interfaces might not even bother to look at this information.
*/
string public name; //fancy name: eg Simon Bucks
uint8 public decimals; //How many decimals to show. ie. There could 1000 base units with 3 decimals. Meaning 0.980 SBX = 980 base units. It's like comparing 1 wei to 1 ether.
string public symbol; //An identifier: eg SBX
string public version = 'H0.1'; //human 0.1 standard. Just an arbitrary versioning scheme.
function HumanStandardToken(
uint256 _initialAmount,
string _tokenName,
uint8 _decimalUnits,
string _tokenSymbol
) {
balances[msg.sender] = _initialAmount; // Give the creator all initial tokens
totalSupply = _initialAmount; // Update total supply

}
/* Approves and then calls the receiving contract */
function approveAndCall(address _spender, uint256 _value, bytes _extraData) returns (bool success) {
allowed[msg.sender][_spender] = _value;
Approval(msg.sender, _spender, _value);
//call the receiveApproval function on the contract you want to be notified. This crafts the function signature manually so one doesn't have to include a contract in here just for this.
//receiveApproval(address _from, uint256 _value, address _tokenContract, bytes _extraData)
//it is assumed that when does this that the call *should* succeed, otherwise one would use vanilla approve instead.

return true;
}
}
Compilamos y, antes de hacer deploy, desplegamos para poder introducir los valores al constructor: cantidad de tokens, nombre, decimales y símbolo.
Hasta aquí ha ido todo bien, la única pega es que el código es antiguo y hay un montón de advertencias a corregir o actualizar.
Comprobado que nos ha funcionado, ahora vamos a intentar desplegarlo en una red de pruebas.
Para ello, necesitamos un contexto de aplicación distribuida, por lo que podemos usar nuestro monedero MetaMask.
Desplegando el código a través de MetaMask
Aunque ya lo hemos hecho antes, lo voy a reproducir desde el principio.
Nos vamos a descargar en chrome y el pluggin de MetaMask.
Podemos crear una cuenta o reciclar una antigua.
Si tenemos nuestra fase secreta podemos importarla.
Ya podemos ver nuestra cuenta en la red de pruebas de Ropsten (recordad que si no veis las redes de prueba tenéis que ir a los settings a activar que se vean).
Ahora vamos a utilizar el contexto inyectado por MetaMask. Vamos a deploy en Remix.
Introducimos la contraseña de nuestra cuenta MetaMask.
De primeras vamos a hacer un pequeño cambio en el código para anular el constructor e inicializar las variables a nuestros valores deseados.
string public name = "RCTOKEN01"; // fancy name: eg Simon Bucks
uint8 public decimals = 2 ; // How many decimals to show. ie. There could 1000 base units with 3 decimals. Meaning 0.980 SBX = 980 base units. It's like comparing 1 wei to 1 ether.
uint8 public initialAmount = 100 ; // Cantidad inicial.
string public symbol = "RCT1" ; // An identifier: eg SBX
string public version = 'H0.1'; // human 0.1 standard. Just an arbitrary versioning scheme.
function HumanStandardToken() {
balances[msg.sender] = initialAmount; // Give the creator all initial tokens
totalSupply = initialAmount; // Update total supply
}
Pulsamos la opción de deploy

Al desplegar con MetaMask podemos elegir la cuenta.
Nos confirma la operación.
No informa que vamos a lanzar un contrato con la cuenta 1 y el coste estimado en gas.
Comprobando que se ha ejecutado correctamente
Podemos verificar que se ha ejecutado correctamente porque nos responderá a las interacciones con los botones.
Podemos ir a MetaMask para comprobar la actividad (hay que esperar un poquito e incluso refrescar).
Podemos saltar a Etherscan (ver Block explorer) para ver el contrato.
En MetaMask es muy posible que no se vean los tokens en la cuenta. Hay que pinchar un enlace de Import token.
Con el identificador del contrato, del token y decimales podemos visualizarlos.
Aparece que tengo un token (novatada de los decimales).
Enviando tokens entre cuentas
Puedo crear o importar una segunda cuenta para hacer la transferencia.
Y podemos transferir de una cuenta a otra.
Y ver el resultado de la transacción.
En Etherscan podemos ver todas las transacciones.
Y si no nos aparecen en nuestra cuenta utilizar la información del contrato para importarlo, tal como hicimos la primera vez.
Y comprobamos en MetaMask el resultado.
Conclusión
Bueno, ya hemos conseguido generar unos tokens básicos y transferirlos.
A todos los efectos hemos creado una especie de “moneda” dentro de la red de pruebas Ethereum.
Ahora tendremos que investigar un poquito más para utilizar otros tipos de tokens o colecciones de tokens diferenciados o NFT, si queremos usarlos para asociarlos a activos concretos.
