Thought I’d start out with something fun like Kava Coin, unfortunately the name was already taken. So instead it’ll be “Kava Token” on the Althash blockchain.
So, for anyone wondering what Althash is, it’s HTMLCOIN’s blockchain, they’ve made it really easy to create smart contracts and all one has to do is have some HTML coins in their wallet to create their smart contract.
I’ve included the YouTube video that I followed in the links below. So, let’s get started with a step by step method of how to create your smart contract on the Althash blockchain.
In this tutorial/guide we’ll be using the Windows wallet.
Step One: Download HTML Wallet
Download the HTML coin wallet from the HTML Coin site:
Go to https://www.htmlcoin.com/wallets
The blockchain will have to load, so this may take some time. If your anti-virus software blocks the download, make an exception to the site and also the app and then start over.
Step Two: Retrieve Code for HTML Smart Contracts
Now you’re going to need the code for smart contracts from GitHub.
Go to https://github.com/HTMLCOIN/HTMLToken
- Click on the HTMLToken.sol
- Copy the Code
Note: Do not use Ctrl+A, the code has to be highlighted and copied starting at Line 1.
Step 3: Compile Code
The code will need to be compiled using remix an online IDE for Ethereum smart contracts
- Click to create a new file
- Add Token Name
- Click Ok
Once the file name is created, paste the “HTMLToken.sol” code to the browser. There are ONLY three modifications needed to be made to the code.
- Change Token Name – Kava Token (You can choose your own Token name)
- Change Token Symbol – KVT
- Change Token Quantity – 1,000,000,000
- Click on “Start to Compile” button
Step Four: Creating Your Smart Contract
- Open HTML wallet
- Go to Settings
- Options
- Click Enable Log Events
Note: Your Wallet will need to be restarted once you click OK, so close and reopen again. A message will pop up prompting “reindex the blockchain”, click OK. Be patience since the re-indexing process may take a while.
Just make sure that your internet is stable during this period or you will have to start over.
- Go to smart contract menu
- Click Create
- Go back to remix and click on the details
You will be directed to the HTML Token page of the compiled code.
- Copy the bytecode and paste to the HTML wallet field as shown below. Remember to only copy the codes between the objects key.
Get the contract ABI, this is done by going to copying the ABI contract and pasting it to the Interface (ABI) field in your wallet.
- Do not change the “Gas Limit” and “Gas Price” fields, these are automated.
- Chose the “Sender Address”, this is the address that will receive the total supply of the created contract. Which in this case is 1 billion Kava Tokens.
Note: Ignore “Optional”, the Sender Address is needed.
- Click on the Create Contract button (some HTML coins will be used to create this contract)
- Click “Yes” on the pop up
Once the contract is created, go to the Transactions tab and wait for the transaction to be mined.
Once the transaction is mined, the question mark on the “Contract Send” Type will be checked.
Wait until the contract is checked before moving forward, even if you’re prompted that the transaction was mined.
Go to the HRC Token tab
- Click on add token
- Input/Paste the contract address; once this is done note that the wallet recognized all other information and populate them in the remaining fields.
- Chose the Address that was used to create the contract and then click Confirm
There are now 1,000,000,000 KVT Tokens that can be imbedded on a website or other projects willing to accept it.
The value of Kava token will be dictated by the market.
Conclusion:
I hope you realize how easy it is to create a smart contract on the Althash blockchain. Now you can go and share your coins/tokens with anyone you want or imbed it to your website site and projects you’re working on.
If anyone is interested in creating their first Althash smart contract and need HTML Coins, please include your HTML address in the comment section and I’ll send you 10 HTML Coins to help you get started.
