This will take you to the Ropsten Test Faucet, a dApp that will send you testnet ETH for free, but only one at a time. For that, click “request 1 ether from faucet” and then scroll down if you want to check the txHash for this transaction. Once the ETH is already on your MetaMask, we can proceed to exploring the work we’ve already done with the Custom DAY Token Tool.

The Chronos Platform

Once your MetaMask has testnet Ether from the faucet and is also unlocked, you can direct yourself to https://alpha.chronologic.network/. Firstly the dApp will notify that you’re connected to Testnet. Don’t worry about it at this point, just click “OK” and keep going forward.

Now, click “START” and let’s see what the Platform has in store for us. The first customization you may choose is the Token Name and Token Symbol, which can basically be whatever you want. For this tutorial, we’ll fill in the form as if we were making the same version of the day token as the one already deployed on Ethereum Mainnet. Once you have filled these fields properly, click “CONTINUE”.

After that we’ll get to a page where you’ll be able to introduce the minting parameters for your customized version of the DAY token.

Now, filling the fields, the MINIMUM and MAX MINTING POWER are basically the ChronoPower your customized DAY token version will have. You can create a self-minting token that will be extremely inflationary or not, it’s really up to you. Here you can also customize how long is your HALVING CYCLE, which is dependent of the MINTING PERIOD IN SEC. For example, if you set the minting period in sec for a whole day, then the halving cycle will count each day as a cycle. Same is true if you set it up for an hour or even an year. Once you’ve placed there all your data, click “CONTINUE”.

Next step is the “CONTRACT SETUP”. Here you are able to setup vital settings to your own customized DAY token smart contract. Now, let’s breakdown each one of them.

MAX ADDRESSES: The number of self-minting addresses your contract will have, for ChronoLogic this number is 3333.

STARTING ID FOR TEAM’S MINTING ADDRESS: Here you can setup how far from the top your team will have their Time Mints assigned. For ChronoLogic this value is 3227.

TOTAL TEAM’S MINTING ID: The total of self-minting addresses that will be ever assigned as a team minter. In ChronoLogic this value is 18.

TEAM LOCK PERIOD IN SECONDS: The main advantage of setting up team minting ids is also being able to lock it up for as long as you see fit. In ChronoLogic the team minting IDs are locked up for 31536000 seconds, which converts to 1 year lock up.

POST DEPLOYMENT MAX IDS: Basically, after you deploy your contract, this model allows you to assign more TimeMints, as long as you set things up during this process. For ChronoLogic the number for this is 88.

MINIMUM BALANCE TO TRANSFER A MINTER: As the TimeMint has value it self since it can generate new tokens, there’s might also be a restrictive amount to transfer it using the TimeTx process. For ChronoLogic this value is 8888.

Once you filled all these fields, click “CONTINUE”.

On step #4, “PUBLISH”, you are able to revise all the data you input to the dApp and check if that’s really what you want to deploy. Once the Custom DAY Token Tool is 100% live, after clicking “DEPLOY” you won’t be able to change anything unless you start everything over again, having to pay more DAY tokens for it + ETH for Gas. If you are satisfied with your parameters, click “DEPLOY”.

After that you’ll be taken to a page that says “Deploying…” and MetaMask will prompt you to submit a transaction, which will basically create your customized DAY token smart contract, one with all the parameters you just inserted on the dApp.

Once you click “SUBMIT” on MetaMask, the dApp will give you a Transaction Hash (txHash), which might take some time to be actually confirmed by the network. Clicking on the link provided you’ll be able to check its progress.
