ERC20 Token Builder (Core Module)

The ERC20 Token Builder is the foundational module of Hubric Node, enabling users to create and deploy ERC20-compliant tokens through a no-code interface while maintaining standardized best practices and production-grade reliability.

This module is designed to cover the most common token launch requirements while remaining flexible enough for a wide range of Web3 use cases, including utility tokens, governance tokens, community tokens, and project fundraising tokens.


6.1 Objectives

The ERC20 Token Builder is built around four main objectives:

  1. Standard Compliance Ensure every deployed token follows ERC20 expectations for interoperability with wallets, DEXs, and DeFi protocols.

  2. Safe Configuration Prevent dangerous or inconsistent settings through validation rules and permission-aware defaults.

  3. Modular Extensions Allow optional modules (mint, burn, ownership, etc.) without forcing unnecessary complexity.

  4. Fast Deployment Minimize time-to-launch for both technical and non-technical users through reusable, audited-style logic patterns.


6.2 Core ERC20 Features

The ERC20 Token Builder supports the following core features:

  • Token Identity

    • Name

    • Symbol

    • Decimals (default recommended: 18)

  • Supply Model

    • Fixed initial supply (minted at deployment)

    • Optional capped supply (if enabled)

  • Transfer Behavior

    • Standard ERC20 transfer, transferFrom, approve, allowance

  • Ownership / Admin Control

    • Owner address or MultiSig controller

    • Permission gating for admin-only features

  • Event Transparency

    • Standard ERC20 Transfer and Approval events

    • Optional module events (mint/burn/role updates, etc.)


6.3 Configurable Parameters

Users configure ERC20 tokens through a structured set of parameters. Hubric Node enforces validation rules to avoid common misconfiguration risks.

6.3.1 Token Metadata

  • Token Name: human-readable token name

  • Token Symbol: ticker identifier (e.g., HUBR)

  • Decimals: number of decimal places

Recommended Defaults:

  • Decimals: 18 (widely compatible standard)


6.3.2 Supply Configuration

  • Initial Supply

    • Total tokens minted at deployment

  • Initial Receiver

    • Address receiving initial minted supply

  • Max Supply Cap (Optional)

    • Prevents total supply from exceeding a predefined limit

  • Supply Distribution Mode (Optional)

    • Single receiver (default)

    • Multi-wallet distribution (advanced / future-ready)


6.3.3 Administrative Controls

  • Owner Address

    • Default: deployer address

    • Option: custom owner address

  • MultiSig Controller (Optional)

    • Replace single-owner control with multi-approval governance

  • Renounce Ownership Option

    • Optional ability to permanently remove admin privileges after deployment


6.4 Optional Modules (Plug-and-Play Extensions)

Hubric Node enables ERC20 extension modules that can be toggled during token creation. Each module is designed to be isolated and permission-controlled to reduce risk.

6.4.1 Mint Module (Optional)

Allows additional tokens to be minted post-deployment.

Options:

  • Mint authority: owner / MultiSig

  • Mint limits: unlimited / capped by max supply

  • Mint destinations: any address

Use Cases:

  • Ecosystem incentives

  • Emissions-based token models

  • Future treasury expansion (with governance)


6.4.2 Burn Module (Optional)

Allows tokens to be burned, reducing total supply.

Options:

  • User burn (self-burn)

  • Admin burn (controlled burn from designated addresses, if allowed)

Use Cases:

  • Deflationary mechanics

  • Supply reduction strategies

  • Token sink utilities


6.4.3 Access Control Module (Optional)

Provides role-based permissions rather than single-owner control.

Roles Example:

  • Admin role

  • Minter role

  • Pauser role

Use Cases:

  • Operational separation of responsibilities

  • Enterprise governance requirements

  • Complex protocol administration


6.4.4 Pause / Circuit Breaker Module (Optional)

Provides an emergency stop mechanism that can pause transfers temporarily.

Controls:

  • Only authorized admin / MultiSig can pause/unpause

Use Cases:

  • Emergency response during detected attacks

  • Controlled token launch conditions

  • Compliance requirements


6.4.5 Transfer Restriction Module (Optional / Advanced)

Imposes configurable rules around transfers.

Examples:

  • Max transaction limit

  • Max wallet holding

  • Whitelist-only transfers (for phased launches)

  • Blacklist management (use carefully)

Use Cases:

  • Controlled launch phases

  • Early anti-bot measures

  • Regulatory or private sale restrictions

Note: Transfer restrictions should be used cautiously to avoid breaking DeFi compatibility.


6.5 Deployment Lifecycle

Hubric Node standardizes the deployment lifecycle to reduce errors and improve transparency.

  1. Template Selection

    • User selects ERC20 Token Template

  2. Parameter Configuration

    • Input name, symbol, supply, admin controls

    • Toggle optional modules as needed

  3. Pre-Deployment Validation

    • Hubric Node validates:

      • token metadata formats

      • supply values

      • admin addresses

      • module compatibility

  4. Deployment Execution

    • User signs deployment transaction using wallet

  5. Post-Deployment Output

    • Contract address provided

    • Verification guidance supported

    • Token details ready for DEX listing and integrations


6.6 Compatibility and Interoperability

The ERC20 Token Builder is designed for broad ecosystem compatibility:

  • Compatible with standard wallets (MetaMask, Rabby, etc.)

  • DEX-ready (Uniswap-style AMMs)

  • Compatible with DeFi protocols expecting ERC20 behavior

  • Deployable on EVM chains (Ethereum, L2s, and EVM networks)


6.7 Security Considerations

Hubric Node emphasizes security through standardization and safe defaults.

Security Measures:

  • Input validation to prevent invalid token settings

  • Permission gating for admin-only modules (mint/pause/etc.)

  • Optional MultiSig control to reduce single-key risk

  • Minimal and modular design to reduce attack surface

  • Transparent event logging for on-chain monitoring

Recommended Practices:

  • Use MultiSig for treasury-controlled tokens

  • Avoid complex transfer restrictions unless necessary

  • Consider renouncing ownership only after configuration finalization


6.8 Limitations and Risk Disclosure

While Hubric Node reduces development risk, users must understand token design risks:

  • Poor tokenomics may harm sustainability regardless of contract quality

  • Misuse of mint authority can reduce trust

  • Overly restrictive transfer rules may break integrations

  • Admin keys (if not MultiSig) remain a security risk

Hubric Node encourages transparent governance, safe defaults, and clear community communication.
