Hello! 👋 This document will guide you through the process of setting up your xToken with Connext.

<aside> 📌 We assume below that you have read the xTokens with Connext document!

• ConnextScan and Bridge Support
• Router Liquidity
• Mainnet Deployment

Prerequisites

Let’s assume the following information about your token before we begin:

1. Your token is already deployed to a “home” chain. The implementation here doesn’t matter.
2. If your token is deployed to other chains, it has a owner-controlled mint/burn interface or is upgradeable.

Deploying Token Representations

<aside> 💡 The below sections specifically focus on testnet deployment. See Mainnet Deployment for mainnet-specific information.

</aside>

The first thing you will need to do is deploy a representation of your token to each chain that you want to support with the following properties:

• MUST support a standard mint/burn interface.
• MUST give Connext’s contracts the rights to mint/burn the token.
• SHOULD be an upgradeable implementation so you can migrate to the full xERC20 standard in the future (which supports fungibility with canonical bridges).
