2. Deploy your token to a public Test Net(Kovan, Rinkeby, Ropsten) via Metamask!

• Ensure Metamask is installed, enabled and unlocked, you may install from here

• Ensure Metamask is connected to Kovan via the drop down in the top left corner

• Within remix under the run tab switch from Javascript VM to injected web3

• Refresh the browser

• Now re-deploy and the contract will be sent from your Metamask account.

  Note

  • A Metamask window will pop-up for you to confirm the transaction
  • Also SAVE the address the token was deployed at! You may need it later :)

3. Sync an Ethereum node of your own

Note

Look to setup a node locally or via Azure. Azure is a nice option to begin with as a node locally can be quite heavy and resource intensive.

• Getting Started With Azure
• Sync a Parity node to Kovan
