In this Zero to Hero series, you’ll find a set of tutorials covering every aspect of a fungible token (FT) smart contract. You’ll start by interacting with a pre-deployed contract and by the end you’ll have built a fully-fledged FT smart contract that supports every extension of the standards.
Prerequisites
To complete these tutorials successfully, you’ll need:

| 1 | Pre-deployed contract | Receive FTs without the need to code, create, or deploy a smart contract. |
| 2 | Contract architecture | Learn the basic architecture of the FT smart contract and compile the code. |
| 3 | Defining a Token | Flesh out what it means to have a FT and how you can customize your own. |
| 4 | Circulating Supply | Learn how to create an initial supply and have the token show up in your wallet. |
| 5 | Registering Accounts | Explore how you can implement and understand the storage management standard to avoid malicious users from draining your funds. |
| 6 | Transferring FTs | Learn how to transfer FTs and discover some of the true powers that the core standard brings |
