30 minutesFungible Token Minting on Ergo (EIP-4)
Create a standard fungible token in one transaction using EIP-4
문제
You need to create a fungible token for your dApp, community, or project without complex infrastructure.
솔루션
Ergo's EIP-4 standard allows token creation in a single transaction. The first output box can mint new tokens with the token ID derived from the first input box ID, ensuring globally unique identifiers.
작동 방식
- 1Create a transaction with at least one input box
- 2The first output box declares the new token with amount and metadata
- 3Token ID is automatically derived from INPUTS(0).id
- 4Registers R4-R6 store name, description, and decimals per EIP-4
- 5R7-R9 available for custom application data
- 6Transaction is signed and broadcast to the network
코드 예제
{
// Token minting happens automatically when:
// 1. This is the first output box (index 0)
// 2. Token amount is specified in the box
// 3. Token ID = INPUTS(0).id (derived automatically)
// EIP-4 Register Layout:
// R4: Token name (Coll[Byte] - UTF-8)
// R5: Token description (Coll[Byte] - UTF-8)
// R6: Number of decimals (Int)
// R7-R9: Application-specific data
// Simple guard: only creator can mint
val creatorPK = PK("9f...")
proveDlog(creatorPK)
}The simplest token minting pattern. Token ID is deterministically derived from the first input, ensuring uniqueness. EIP-4 defines the standard register layout for interoperability.

- →Loyalty points and rewards
- →Stablecoins with collateral backing
- →Community and meme tokens
- →Utility tokens for dApps
보안 고려사항
- !Token ID is immutable once created
- !Metadata in registers cannot be changed after minting
- !Consider using a dedicated minting contract for controlled issuance
- !Verify token amounts before signing

Standard transaction fee (~0.001 ERG). No additional minting fees on Ergo.
