Tokens are cryptocurrencies that are created on an existing blockchain and follow a certain token standard. On the other hand, crypto coin development involves building a currency on a new blockchain. For example, Ether is a crypto coin as it was built on its Ethereum blockchain and all other currencies built using the Ethereum standard are tokens.<\/p>\n

With the introduction of smart contracts, Ethereum became the most used blockchain for the creation of ERC-20 crypto tokens. Following the suite, many blockchains like Binance Smart Chain<\/a><\/strong> (BEP-20), NEO (NEP and NEP-5), Tezos (TZIP-12) introduced different token standards. Each has its own advantage but if you want to differentiate yourself from the competition, the token development<\/a><\/strong> procedure must be planned carefully. Here is what you should know before creating your own cryptocurrency.<\/p>\n

1. Identify the use-case <\/strong><\/h4>\n

Finding out the actual use-case of your token is very important because that is what drives the price of the token in the future. Different tokens exist for different purposes. You can always ask your cryptocurrency development company to help you analyze which type of token is suitable for the proposed use-case. Some of the popular types of tokens are:<\/p>\n

\u2022 Security token<\/strong>
\nA security token acts as a proof of investment. For example, these are used to represent real-world assets during the security token offering or STO. These can represent equities and fixed incomes like dividends.<\/p>\n

\u2022 Utility token<\/strong>
\nA utility token is used to provide some advantage to the token holder. For example, BNB is the utility token of the Binance ecosystem, and holding BNB allows traders to avail trading discounts or stake and earn opportunities.<\/p>\n

\u2022 Asset token<\/strong>
\nThese are the ones that are pegged to a real-world asset like gold, oil, real estate, or more.<\/p>\n

\u2022 Stable coins<\/strong>
\nThese are digital tokens that are pegged to real-world assets like fiat currencies and commodities. For example, USDT or USDC are two stable coins used to represent USD on the blockchain. Some platforms introduce their own stable coins for easy settlement of trades.<\/p>\n

\u2022 NFTs<\/strong>
\nNon-fungible tokens or NFTs are a new class of tokens used to represent a unique item. These items could be a music file, real-estate, photo, or any such asset.<\/p>\n

2. Pick the right consensus protocol<\/strong><\/h4>\n

For your token to accrue value in the market, the blockchain on which it is built must be selected based on the consensus protocol that it uses. For example, most of the token development projects handled by a cryptocurrency development company pivot around the ERC-20 Ethereum standard that is currently a proof-of-work algorithm and consumes a lot of energy to reach consensus.
\nSlowly and steadily, many blockchains that started as PoW are transitioning to Proof-of-stake and its different variants that are faster and cheaper.<\/p>\n

3. Pick the blockchain <\/strong><\/h4>\n

Based on the consensus mechanism that you choose, you can pick from the following list of blockchains.<\/p>\n

Proof-of-work<\/strong>
\nEthereum<\/p>\n

Proof-of-stake<\/strong>
\nNEO
\nBinance Chain
\nEOS<\/p>\n

Other consensus protocols are Proof of Capacity, Proof of Burn, Proof of Elapsed time, Proof of Staked authority and more. You can discuss the details with your cryptocurrency development services provider to understand which blockchain suits your project idea.<\/p>\n

4. Designing the nodes<\/strong><\/h4>\n

The nodes help you decide how the data is verified and processed. You can choose private, public and hybrid nodes for your project. This will help you decide how the security of the token needs to be taken care of.<\/p>\n

5. Build your own blockchain <\/strong><\/h4>\n

While developing tokens is a quick and cost-effective process, there may be scenarios when you would have to go for completely new blockchain development. Crypto coin development is just a part of blockchain development; there is a lot more that needs to be taken care of when you design a new blockchain:<\/p>\n

\u2022 Define the permissions that decide who can access the data from the chain, perform the transactions and validate data to add new blocks to the chain.
\n\u2022 Decide the address format of the blockchain.
\n\u2022 Decide the format of the keys that are used to generate signatures for the transaction.
\n\u2022 Establish the rules for creating and listing the assets.
\n\u2022 Establish the rules to create more assets.
\n\u2022 Decide how the private and public keys will be managed and protected.
\n\u2022 Decide how many signatures will validate a transaction on your blockchain.
\n\u2022 What will be the block size; what rewards will be given for mining if the blockchain is Proof-of-work.
\n\u2022 Will the blockchain have its native currency?
\n\u2022 Define the block signatures<\/p>\n
