Register a new ERC-20 or ERC-20-equivalent token in the virtual account

/v3/offchain/token/{chain}

2 credits per API call.

This is the first step to create a new ERC-20 or ERC-20 equivalent token with some supply in a virtual account.


This method only creates Tatum Private ledger virtual currency with predefined parameters. It will not generate any blockchain smart contract.
The whole supply of token is stored in the customer's newly created account. Then it is possible to create new Tatum accounts with token name as account's currency.
Newly created account is frozen until the specific smart contract address is linked with the Tatum virtual currency, representing the token.
Order of the steps to create smart contract with Tatum private ledger support:

1. Register token (this API) - creates a virtual currency within Tatum
2. Deploy smart contract - create new smart contract on the blockchain
3. Store smart contract address - link newly created smart contract address with Tatum virtual currency - this operation enables frozen account and enables ledger synchronization for Tatum accounts

Blockchain address will be assigned to the virtual account as a deposit address. It can be defined via the address explicitly or by using xpub and derivationIndex.
