How to Create and Deploy an ERC404 token contract

Posted By : Vishal

Mar 31, 2024

ERC404 is a new concept in the realm of crypto token development that combines the functionality of NFT and ERC20 tokens. This is an experimental token and is not included under EIP, due to its experimental status project owner can do customization as per their need. This token will act as both ERC20 and NFT, it has two types of transfer function. In the first transfer function, only the receiver address and amount are passed which will be used to transfer fraction tokens (ERC-20 tokens), and in other transfer functions, a receiver address, ID, and the amount will be passed.  To access the NFT, we can use the standard NFT function like setting the base URI, and getting the URI from the token ID. The major difference in this standard is that you get both the functionalities under same hood.

 

See the example below to get an understanding of how ER404 works and how you can create your custom ERC404 token, for more about token standards, check out Unexplored ERC Token Standards On Ethereum.

 

The Core Library for the ERC404 Library

 

abstract contract ERC404 is Ownable2Step {

    event ERC20Transfer(

        address indexed to,

    event Approval(
        address indexed owner,
        address indexed spender,
        uint256 amount
    );

        address indexed from,
        address indexed to,
        uint256 indexed id

        string memory _symbol

        symbol = _symbol;
    }
}

 

Note: You can use Openzeppelin for import libraries like ownable2step, pausable, ERC721, etc.

 

The next step will be to inherit this library into the main contract to use the functionality.

 

contract SampleToken is ERC404, Pausable, ReentrancyGuard {
    string public baseTokenURI;
    using Strings for uint256;

    constructor(
        address _owner,
        uint256 _initialSupply,
        uint8 _decimal
    ) ERC404("Sample", "SAMPLE", _decimal, _initialSupply, _owner) {
        balanceOf[_owner] = _initialSupply * 10 ** _decimal;
    }

    function _mint(
        address to
    ) internal override whenNotPaused{
        return super._mint(to);
    }

    function _transfer(
        address from,
        address to,
        uint256 amount
    ) internal override virtual whenNotPaused returns (bool){
        return super._transfer(from, to, amount);
    }

    function setTokenURI(string memory _tokenURI) public onlyOwner {
        baseTokenURI = _tokenURI;
    }

    function setNameSymbol(
        string memory _name,
        string memory _symbol
    ) public onlyOwner {
        _setNameSymbol(_name, _symbol);
    }

    function tokenURI(uint256 id) public view override returns (string memory) {
        return bytes(baseTokenURI).length > 0 ? string.concat(baseTokenURI, id.toString(), ".json") : "";
    }
}

 

Now the contracts are ready, we can either use remix or hardhat for deployment over the network. After the deployment, the owner will get the initial supply of tokens. In the above example, mint is only overridden internally but not used after that, you can write your custom logic for minting NFT, and after that use that same mint function to mint NFT. For setting the base URI use the function "setTokenURI".

 

Conclusion:

 

This blog gives you a brief idea about ERC404 and how we can create a token with this Ethereum token standard, you can write your custom on top of this code base to add functionality like tax, whitelisting, blacklist, reflection mechanism, etc. Connect with our smart contract developers to get started with your project/token development.
