TRON is a decentralized blockchain content delivery platform to allow creators to publish and own their uploaded content. TRON originally existed as an ERC20 token (TRX) operating on Ethereum's blockchain but now exists on its own blockchain. TRON has its own set of token standards called TRC10 and TRC20. In this guide I will walk you through creating your own TRC20 token.

Download TronLink

  • TronLink is a browser based extension for interacting with the TRON blockchain. It is available for chrome based browsers like Google Chrome and Brave. Add the extension to your browser by clicking the 'Add to Chrome' button.

  • Now name your wallet and press 'Continue'. Next copy the mnemonic phrase to a safe place and press 'Continue'. The last step is to confirm the mnemonic phrase by selecting the words in order and press 'Confirm' to finish. You have now created a wallet!
