Create upgradeable ERC20

Support Upgrades
2

Hi @Nadim,

Welcome to the community :wave:

I recommend using OpenZeppelin Upgrades Plugins for Truffle and Hardhat if you want to deploy and test upgradeable contracts: https://docs.openzeppelin.com/upgrades-plugins/1.x/

There isn’t an Upgrades Plugin for Remix, so you would need to deploy the implementation contract, followed by the proxy (and optionally a ProxyAdmin) yourself. The Upgrades Plugins perform upgrade safety checks and make it easy to write high level tests for upgradeable contracts.

I suggest looking at the following Step by Step Tutorials:

I created a very simple example ERC20 contract and deployed it to the inbuilt Truffle development network (using the setup from the Step by Step tutorial for Truffle).

MyToken.sol

This example token has a fixed supply that is minted to the deployer of the contract.

// SPDX-License-Identifier: MIT
pragma solidity >=0.6.0 <0.8.0;

import "@openzeppelin/contracts-upgradeable/token/ERC20/ERC20Upgradeable.sol";
import "@openzeppelin/contracts-upgradeable/proxy/Initializable.sol";

contract MyToken is Initializable, ERC20Upgradeable {
    function initialize(string memory name, string memory symbol, uint256 initialSupply) public virtual initializer {
        __ERC20_init(name, symbol);
        _mint(_msgSender(), initialSupply);
    }
}

2_deploy_token.js

The token is initialized with the name, symbol and the initial supply.

// migrations/2_deploy_token.js
const MyToken = artifacts.require('MyToken');
 
const { deployProxy } = require('@openzeppelin/truffle-upgrades');
 
module.exports = async function (deployer) {
  await deployProxy(MyToken, ['My Token', 'TKN', '100000000000000000000000'], { deployer, initializer: 'initialize' });
};

Truffle console

I deployed the token using migrate and then interacted with the upgradeable contract.
