node index.js

Conclusion

We will use Etherscan's API to fetch information about newly created tokens. Add the following function to your index.js file:

const axios = require('axios');

// Replace with your Etherscan API key
const ETHERSCAN_API_KEY = 'YOUR_ETHERSCAN_API_KEY';

async function getNewTokens() {
  try {
    const url = `https://api.etherscan.io/api?module=account&action=tokentx&address=0x0&startblock=0&endblock=99999999&sort=asc&apikey=${ETHERSCAN_API_KEY}`;
    const response = await axios.get(url);

    if (response.data.status === '1') {
      const transactions = response.data.result;
      const newTokens = transactions.filter(tx => tx.tokenSymbol && tx.tokenName && tx.from === '0x0000000000000000000000000000000000000000');

      console.log('Newly Created Tokens:');
      newTokens.forEach(token => {
        console.log(`- Token Name: ${token.tokenName}`);
        console.log(`  Token Symbol: ${token.tokenSymbol}`);
        console.log(`  Token Contract Address: ${token.contractAddress}`);
      });
    } else {
      console.error('Error fetching token transactions:', response.data.message);
    }
  } catch (error) {
    console.error('Error:', error);
  }
}

getNewTokens();

Congratulations! You have successfully created, minted, and transferred a custom token on the Solana blockchain. This tutorial introduced you to the SPL Token Program and demonstrated how to manage tokens using the Solana and SPL Token CLIs. With this knowledge, you can start building more complex decentralized applications on Solana and explore its capabilities further.

Solana's speed and efficiency make it an ideal platform for token creation and management. As you continue exploring Solana, consider integrating tokens into your dApps to provide users with unique features and functionalities.
