API Overview
Introduction
Token API enables secure creation and management of blockchain-based digital tokens using Ethereum’s ERC-20 (fungible) and ERC-721 (NFT) standards. This API provides tools to manage token lifecycles while maintaining Blockchain’s core advantages of immutability and decentralized verification.
A digital token represents either:
- Fungible token (ERC-20): Interchangeable value units like currencies, rewards points, or voting rights.
- Unique token (ERC-721): Indivisible digital items like artwork, collectibles, or ownership certificates. Also known as Non-Fungible Tokens (NFTs).
Key capabilities:
- Token Deployment: Create standardized contracts with configurable properties.
- Token Provenance: The Blockchain allows to cryptographically track ownership history from minting through transfers.
- Compliance-Ready Operations: Built-in burning and transfer transactions.
Tokens serve as verifiable trust anchors - each transaction creates an immutable record protected by blockchain cryptography. This enables businesses to:
- Digitize physical assets with NFT certificates.
- Create incentive systems with tokenized rewards.
- Establish transparent supply chain tracking.
