Native tokenization, without a smart contract

Public and private blockchains offering tokenization carry the burden of expensive fees or upfront infrastructure costs, slow transaction speeds, complexity in managing governance, and regulatory obstacles. The Hedera Token Service enables the configuration, management, and transfer of native fungible and non-fungible tokens on the public Hedera network. Hedera Token Service offers high-throughput, native compliance configurations, and on-chain programmability, such as atomic swaps, without having to deploy expensive and potentially faulty smart contracts.

Mint and manage tokens

Quickly create your own tokens with Hedera Token Service to manage assets with the predictable fees and fast finality of Hedera Hashgraph.

//Create the transaction and optionally freeze for manual signing
const transaction = await new TokenCreateTransaction()

.setTokenName("Your Token Name")
.setTokenSymbol("HGC")
.setTreasuryAccountId(treasuryAccountId)
.setInitialSupply(5000)
.setAdminKey(adminPublicKey)
.freezeWith(client);
//Sign the transaction with the token adminKey and the token treasury account private key
const signTx = await (await transaction.sign(adminKey)).sign(treasuryKey);
//Sign the transaction with the client operator private key and submit to a Hedera network
const txResponse = await signTx.execute(client);

//Create the transfer transaction

const transaction = await new TransferTransaction()
.addTokenTransfer(tokenId, accountId1, -10)
.addTokenTransfer(tokenId, accountId2, 10)
.freezeWith(client);
//Sign with the sender account private key
const signTx = await transaction.sign(accountKey1);
//Sign with the client operator private key and submit to a Hedera network
const txResponse = await signTx.execute(client);

//Create the query
const query = new AccountBalanceQuery()
.setAccountId(accountId);
//Sign with the client operator private key and submit to a Hedera network
const tokenBalance = await query.execute(client);
console.log("The token balance(s) for this account: " +tokenBalance.tokens);
