# How to deploy your own token on Fuel Testnet using Rust SDK? By [V12 ](https://paragraph.com/@sprkfi) · 2024-08-28 --- _In the continuation of_ [_this topic_](https://forum.fuel.network/t/which-token-contract-i-should-to-use/373)_, I wrote a tutorial on how to work with tokens. This tutorial walks you through the process of issuing your own token on the Fuel testnet using Rust SDK._ **Deploy** ========== **Clone repository** -------------------- This step involves cloning the fuel-token-standard repository from GitHub onto your local computer. To do this, you will need to use the `git clone` command. `git clone https://github.com/sway-gang/fuel-token-standard` After that let’s go to the project folder `cd fuel-token-standard` **Setup env** ------------- In this step, you will set up the environment for the fuel-token-standard repository. Here we should use `forc-wallet`. To create this, you will need to follow the instructions provided in the `forc-wallet` [repository on GitHub](https://github.com/FuelLabs/forc-wallet). After creating a wallet, you can see a list of your accounts by using this command `forc-wallet list` You also need to visit the Fuel faucet [to get some testnet FUEL tokens](https://faucet-beta-2.fuel.network/), which you will use to deploy and interact with your token contract. Here will involve creating a `.env` file and add your wallet secret to it. To do this, you can rename the template: `mv ./.env.example ./.env` And insert your secret inside the `.env` file SECRET=YOUR_SECRET_HERE **Build and deploy** -------------------- > _In this section I will explain in detail how to deploy, initialize, mint and transfer tokens. If you just want to deploy tokens in one click, then skip this section and move on to the next_ In this step, you will build and deploy your token contract using the `forc` command-line tool. This involves compiling the contract code, generating the required bytecode, and deploying the contract to the Fuel testnet. To build the contract, you will use the `forc build` command, which will compile the contract code and generate the bytecode required for deployment. > forc build Compiled library "core". Compiled library "std". Compiled contract "token_contract". Bytecode size is 13912 bytes. To deploy the contract, you will use the `forc deploy` command, which will send the deployment transaction to the Fuel testnet. `forc deploy --url http://node-beta-2.fuel.network/graphql --gas-price 1` Output: Compiled library "core". Compiled library "std". Compiled contract "token_contract". Bytecode size is 13912 bytes. Contract id: Please provide the address of the wallet you are going to sign this transaction with:fuel1s0ul05vsv84ltlxfn7fwmv0765ghah4nm5zj84z6zwy9mcutnz6q97zrcl Transaction id to sign: 4232f9c81c5104f3f9a81a120d0bec084c8fa8be40ad6397fd7f2aa79bd8af91 Please provide the signature: Before the deployment can be completed, you will need to sign the transaction with your wallet. To do this, you will need to use the forc-wallet command-line tool. First, you will need to open another terminal and use the forc-wallet list command to view the available wallets on your machine. Next, you will need to use the `forc-wallet sign` command to sign the transaction with the desired wallet. The command requires you to specify the transaction ID and the index of the wallet you want to use. `forc-wallet sign ` Please enter your password to decrypt initialized wallet's phrases: Signature: 8d9c894fcbb5ae3f1a0318cca5c783e9a67b150ca953350023c673cb640171ad12e68716d17cf7bfb2e201dd72c506ede78ccf762bed621fa37275863a2010c3 Finally, you will need to enter the signature in the first terminal to complete the deployment. If the deployment is successful, the output will include the contract ID and the block number in which the contract was deployed.

To run the test case, update the `TOKEN_ADDRESS` constant in the `tests/testnet_tests/initialize.rs` file with the address of your token contract, then run the following command: cargo test --package tests --test tests -- testnet_tests::initialize::initialize --exact --nocapture Example output: running 1 test 👛 Account address @ fuel1gzv3z02hz863dhtxzhz2d30jh62verdx7lfrzxkq9txxr3jgx4qsqgstc4 🗞 Token address @ fuel1waujxytuwaevq6qgqmf2p5aqad0x2naxteyd3h5929hklpd6fzrsyjw5jy ✅ Initialize Decimals: 9 Symbol: BTC Mint amount 1000 BTC test testnet_tests::initialize::initialize ... ok **Mint** ======== The `mint` test case mints tokens to the wallet specified in the test configuration. To run the test case, update the `TOKEN_ADDRESS` constant in the `tests/testnet_tests/mint.rs` file with the address of your token contract, then run the following command: cargo test --package tests --test tests -- testnet_tests::mint::mint --exact --nocapture Example output: running 1 test 👛 Account address @ fuel1gzv3z02hz863dhtxzhz2d30jh62verdx7lfrzxkq9txxr3jgx4qsqgstc4 🗞 Token address @ fuel1waujxytuwaevq6qgqmf2p5aqad0x2naxteyd3h5929hklpd6fzrsyjw5jy Decimals: 1 Symbol: BBC Mint amount: 1000 BBC Wallet balance: 1000 BBC ✅ Mint Wallet balance: 1000 BBC test testnet_tests::mint::mint ... ok **Transfer** ============ The `transfer` test case transfers a specified amount of tokens from the wallet specified in the test configuration to the recipient specified in the test configuration. To run the test case, update the `TOKEN_ADDRESS`, `TRANSFER_AMOUNT`, and `RECIPIENT_ADDRESS` constants in the `tests/testnet_tests/transfer.rs` file with the address of your token contract, the amount of tokens to transfer (without decimals), and the recipient address, respectively, then run the following command: cargo test --package tests --test tests -- testnet_tests::transfer::transfer --exact --nocapture Example output: running 1 test 👛 Account address @ fuel1gzv3z02hz863dhtxzhz2d30jh62verdx7lfrzxkq9txxr3jgx4qsqgstc4 🗞 Token address @ fuel1waujxytuwaevq6qgqmf2p5aqad0x2naxteyd3h5929hklpd6fzrsyjw5jy Decimals: 1 Symbol: BBC Wallet balance: 1000 BBC Wallet balance: 990 BBC Recipient balance: 10 BBC test testnet_tests::transfer::transfer ... ok **Deploy multiple tokens in one click** ======================================= To deploy multiple tokens in one click, you will need to use the `tests/testnet_tests/deploy.rs` script. In this script, you can specify an array of token configurations, each containing the name, symbol, decimals, and mint amount for the desired tokens. To specify the tokens you want to deploy, modify the `configs` array in the script. For example: // YOUR TOKENS ARRAY HERE let configs: Vec = vec![ DeployConfig { name: String::from("Tether"), symbol: String::from("USDT"), decimals: 6, mint_amount: 10000, }, DeployConfig { name: String::from("USD Coin"), symbol: String::from("USDC"), decimals: 6, mint_amount: 10000, }, ... ] Once you have specified the desired tokens, you can run the script with the following command: cargo test --package tests --test tests -- testnet_tests::deploy::deploy --exact --nocapture This will build and deploy the specified tokens. The output of the command will show the initialization details for each token, as well as any additional information relevant to the deployment process.
