Verses Governance Token

A simple mintable, transfer-pausable, non-divisible governance token designed to be managed by an owner address.

• Mintable: The owner may mint new tokens, up to a predefined cap.
• Pausable: The owner may pause transfers of the token.
• Non-divisible: Only whole tokens may be transferred or minted.

In the initial iteration, the owner is an EOA (externally owned account). In future iterations, it may be a multisig wallet.

Quick start

Copy .env.template to .env, and set up DEPLOYER_PRIVATE_KEY to be an address you've filled with some crypto. Then, run:

npm install
npx hardhat compile
npx hardhat test
npx hardhat node
npx hardhat deploy --network localhost

This will start a local hardhat network and deploy a token to it.

Minting a token

To mint to a single address, set up CONTRACT_ADDRESS in .env, then run:

npx hardhat mint 0x123... --network [network]

To mint to a list of addresses, create tasks/distribution.js and export the list as an array. Then run:

npx hardhat bulkmint --network [network]

Pausing and unpausing

By default, token transfers are unpaused.

npx hardhat unpause --network [network]
npx hardhat pause --network [network]
