You’ve now created and deployed your own ERC-20 token using OpenZeppelin. This token adheres to the ERC-20 standard, making it compatible with wallets, exchanges, and other Ethereum-based applications. OpenZeppelin simplifies the process, ensuring that your token is secure and follows best practices. From here, you can further customize your token, add additional features, or integrate it into decentralized applications.

ERC-20 tokens are the foundation of many decentralized finance (DeFi) applications, and by mastering this process, you’re well on your way to becoming a proficient blockchain developer.
