Configure, mint, and manage native fungible and non-fungible tokens on the Hedera network.
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.
Hedera Token Service offers an opportunity to embrace the disruption of public DLTs for payments in a secure, compliant, and performant manner. Enable secure, real-time, and cost-effective payments in your own stablecoin or cryptocurrency.
Tokenized assets change the way ownership and value exchange is defined. Hedera Token Service enables the minting, management, and transfer of fungible and non-fungible assets that are representative of physical or digital goods.
Verify the authenticity of digital or physical items and track products throughout a supply chain. Non-fungible tokens are configured, issued, and managed natively using the Hedera Token Service.
The sustainability and societal impact of businesses is more critical than ever. Hedera Token Service enables cost reductions and greater efficiencies for renewable energy credit (REC) marketplaces and platforms, enabling companies to meet their sustainability goals.

Fungible and non-fungible tokens deployed using the Hedera Token Service offer native programmability, such as atomic swaps and scheduled transactions, for on-chain functionality as efficient as hashgraph.
Tokens issued with the Hedera Token Service are native to Hedera. They adopt the same performance, security, and efficiency as hbar.
Hedera Token Service offers low and predictable transaction fees on the Hedera public network — it costs less than 1¢ USD to transfer any sum of a tokenized asset.
Key and token configurations at the account level offer the flexibility to meet compliance needs, including KYC verification and freeze, token supply management, transfer, and more.
Hedera's decentralized governing body of global organizations ensures network stability, decentralized decision making, and a no-fork guarantee.

//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);
