Hedera Token Service

Name: Hedera
Price range: $

Configure, mint, and manage native fungible and non-fungible tokens on the Hedera network.

Native tokenization at the speed of hashgraph

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 configuring, managing, and transferring native fungible and non-fungible tokens on the public Hedera network.

It offers incredibly high-throughput, low fees, and compliance configurations. There's even native on-chain programmability using API calls for atomic swaps and configuration of custom royalties — and for more complex programming, the Token Service is integrated into the Hedera Smart Contract service.

                                //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);
