Tokens TL;DR

Canisters can either:

1. Interact with tokens that already exist
2. Implement, extend, or proxy tokens

Canisters can use cross-canister calls to interact with tokens implemented using ICRC or other standards. They can also interact with non-ICP tokens through threshold ECDSA.

Canisters can implement tokens from scratch, or extend or proxy implementations already written.

Demergent Labs does not keep any token implementations up-to-date. Here are some old implementations for inspiration and learning:

• ICRC-1
• extendable-token-azle

Tokens

Examples:

• basic_bitcoin
• bitcoin
• bitcoinjs-lib
• bitcore-lib
• ckbtc
• ethereum_json_rpc
• ethers
• ethers_base
• extendable-token-azle
• ic_evm_rpc
• icrc
• ICRC-1
• ledger_canister
