Token Creation

Create custom tokens on RougeChain. Tokens can be traded on the built-in AMM/DEX.

Overview

Create a Token

Via Web UI

1. Navigate to the Token Explorer page
2. Click Create Token
3. Fill in token details:
   • Name — Full name (e.g., "My Token")
   • Symbol — Ticker symbol (e.g., "MTK")
   • Total Supply — Maximum supply
   • Decimals — Decimal places (typically 8)
4. Confirm and sign the transaction

Via v2 API

curl -X POST https://testnet.rougechain.io/api/v2/token/create \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "publicKey": "your-public-key-hex",
    "payload": {
      "name": "My Token",
      "symbol": "MTK",
      "totalSupply": 1000000,
      "decimals": 8
    },
    "nonce": 1706745600000,
    "signature": "your-ml-dsa65-signature-hex"
  }'

Response

{
  "success": true,
  "txId": "abc123...",
  "token": {
    "symbol": "MTK",
    "name": "My Token",
    "totalSupply": 1000000,
    "decimals": 8,
    "creator": "your-public-key"
  }
}

After Creation

Once created, the entire supply is credited to the creator's wallet. You can then:

1. Transfer tokens to other wallets
2. Create a liquidity pool to enable trading
3. Burn tokens by sending to the burn address

Creating a Liquidity Pool

To make your token tradeable on the DEX:

curl -X POST https://testnet.rougechain.io/api/v2/pool/create \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "publicKey": "your-public-key-hex",
    "payload": {
      "tokenA": "XRGE",
      "tokenB": "MTK",
      "amountA": 1000,
      "amountB": 10000
    },
    "nonce": 1706745600001,
    "signature": "your-signature-hex"
  }'

This creates an XRGE/MTK pool with an initial price of 0.1 XRGE per MTK.

Pool creation costs 10 XRGE.

Token Burning

Send tokens to the burn address to permanently remove them from circulation:

XRGE_BURN_0x000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000DEAD

Burned amounts are tracked on-chain and queryable via GET /api/burned.

Listing on the DEX

Tokens are automatically listed on the DEX once a liquidity pool is created. Users can then:

• Swap between your token and XRGE
• Add/remove liquidity
• View price charts and pool stats

Token Standards

RougeChain tokens are native protocol-level assets (not smart contract tokens). This means:

• No ERC-20 compatibility (different chain architecture)
• Transfers are first-class transactions
• All token operations are signed with ML-DSA-65
• Quantum-resistant by default
