Unit 3: Ethereum | Deploy a Token Standard -English Version- 🚀

What's this project about?

This project demonstrates how to deploy your own ERC20 token using the OpenZeppelin library. The token is deployed on the Sepolia testnet, and you can interact with it using scripts and MetaMask. The project is designed for learning and experimentation with Ethereum token standards.

Why ERC20?

As a newbie in the world of blockchain, I choose ERC20 because it's the most basic and widely used token standard on Ethereum. It's a good starting point to understand how tokens work on Ethereum.
