Getting Started

• Expose the ICRC-1 token functions from your canister

  • Import the icrc1 lib and expose them in an actor class.

    Take a look at the examples

• Launch the basic token with all the standard functions for ICRC-1

  • Install the mops package manager
  • Replace the values enclosed in < > with your desired values and run in the terminal

    git clone https://github.com/NatLabs/icrc1
    cd icrc1
    mops install
    dfx start --background --clean
  
    dfx deploy icrc1 --argument '( record {                     
        name = "<Insert Token Name>";                         
        symbol = "<Insert Symbol>";                           
        decimals = 6;                                           
        fee = 1_000_000;                                        
        max_supply = 1_000_000_000_000;                         
        initial_balances = vec {                                
            record {                                            
                record {                                        
                    owner = principal "<Insert Principal>";   
                    subaccount = null;                          
                };                                              
                100_000_000                                 
            }                                                   
        };                                                      
        min_burn_amount = 10_000;                         
        minting_account = null;                                 
        advanced_settings = null;                               
    })'
  

• Create a token dynamically from a canister

      import Nat8 "mo:base/Nat8";
      import Token "mo:icrc1/ICRC1/Canisters/Token";
  
      actor{
          let decimals = 8; // replace with your chosen number of decimals
  
          func add_decimals(n: Nat): Nat{
              n * 10 ** decimals
          };
  
          let pre_mint_account = {
              owner = Principal.fromText("<Insert Principal>");
              subaccount = null;
          };
  
          let token_canister = Token.Token({
              name = "<Insert Token Name>";
              symbol = "<Insert Token Symbol>";
              decimals = Nat8.fromNat(decimals);
              fee = add_decimals(1);
              max_supply = add_decimals(1_000_000);
  
              // pre-mint 100,000 tokens for the account
              initial_balances = [(pre_mint_account, add_decimals(100_000))]; 
  
              min_burn_amount = add_decimals(10);
              minting_account = null; // defaults to the canister id of the caller
              advanced_settings = null; 
          });
      }
  

The fields for the advanced_settings record are documented here
