Rationale
Tokens are first class citizens on Alephium. Just like the native
token ALPH, all tokens on Alephium are managed by UTXOs, which is
battle tested for secure asset management.
New tokens are deployed through the deployment of new contracts, with token’s id matching the id of the issuing contract. The process of token issuance is the same for both fungible and non-fungible tokens.
Specification of token id
Token’s id is the same as its issuing contract’s id, which is a 32 bytes blake2b hash encoded as a hex string. It is not specific to a network or a group.
Syntax
Alephium token id represented as 32 byte array encoded as hex string.
Examples
alephium:universal:383bc735a4de6722af80546ec9eeb3cff508f2f68e97da19489ce69f3e703200
