# Build on BLOCX.

### Find Reference 

Reference token: <https://blocxscan.com/address/0x17Fe8466DF6a2dD30c87576367CA398ef24128C7>

***

### Open Remix

* Open Remix at:\
  <https://remix.ethereum.org/>
* Next, open the **contracts** folder and create a new file—in this case, `demo.sol`."

***

### **Write Your Contract**

In Remix:

* Open the Solidity file (e.g., `Demo.sol`)
* Import the **BLOCX-20** contract from an audited **OpenZeppelin ERC-20** source, then set your variables, such as the name, minted amount, and other parameters.\
  **Screenshot Reference:** `Basic.png`

<div align="left"><figure><img src="/files/fCI2UZqQksRoVNNti1S4" alt="" width="375"><figcaption></figcaption></figure></div>

```solidity
// SPDX-License-Identifier: MIT
pragma solidity ^0.8.20;

import "@openzeppelin/contracts/token/ERC20/ERC20.sol";

contract Demo is ERC20 {
    constructor(address recipient) ERC20("demo", "demo") {
        _mint(recipient, 10000 * 10 ** decimals());
    }
}
```

***

### **Compile the Contract**

* Go to the **Solidity Compiler** tab (🔨 icon).
* Select the correct compiler version (`0.8.20`).
* Hit **"Compile Demo.sol"** ✅.

***

### **Connect MetaMask (Injected Provider)**

* Go to the **Deploy & Run Transactions** tab (Ethereum icon).
* Under **ENVIRONMENT**, choose `Injected Provider - MetaMask`\
  ➤ This connects Remix to MetaMask's current network.

**Screenshot Reference:** `Injected Provider - MetaMask`, account shown.

<div align="left"><figure><img src="/files/vHYWvI95Cf0D0NBy6IW3" alt="" width="218"><figcaption></figcaption></figure></div>

Make sure **MetaMask** is **connected** to your **target chain** (e.g., **BLOCX-Mainnet** with **ID 86996** as in screenshot).

***

### **Set Deployment Settings**

* Set **Value**: Leave at `0` (unless the constructor needs BLOCX).
* Select **Contract**: `Demo - Demo.sol`

<div align="left"><figure><img src="/files/d6lrZJtJIGg4AqO0tVKQ" alt="" width="191"><figcaption></figcaption></figure></div>

* In the **DEPLOY** section, enter the `recipient` address (who will receive the minted tokens).

Make sure it’s a valid BLOCX address (starts with `0x...`).

***

### **Deploy**

* Click **Transact** ➝ MetaMask popup appears.
* Review and **Confirm** the transaction.

**Screenshot Reference:** MetaMask deploy confirmation window with fee and data.

Wait for transaction confirmation on-chain ⛓️.

***

### **Interact with the Deployed Contract**

After deployment:

* Under **Deployed Contracts**, expand your contract instance.
* You can now interact with:
  * `balanceOf(address)`
  * `transfer(to, value)`
  * `approve`, `transferFrom`
  * `totalSupply`, `name`, `symbol`, `decimals`

**Screenshot Reference:** Interaction UI with `balanceOf`, `transfer`, etc.

<div align="left"><figure><img src="/files/7goSSSfShlCUz4FF2MkK" alt="" width="178"><figcaption></figcaption></figure></div>

For example:

* Check balance with `balanceOf(recipient)`
* Transfer tokens using `transfer(to, amount)` with appropriate decimals.

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://blocx.gitbook.io/blocx./get-started/build-on-blocx..md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
