This guide will learn you how to interact with QAE tokens using the Desktop Wallet. We will explain and show you the GENESIS, SEND and BURN transaction, all available to use with the Desktop Wallet.
If you want to create your own token on the Qredit Network, you first need to do a GENESIS transaction. In this transaction you register your token, and your token specific settings onto the blockchain.
TIP
The address you are using to make the transaction with, will be marked as the OWNER of the contract. This is important for the more advanced contract interactions, that are not (yet) supported by the desktop wallet.
The cost of a Genesis Transaction, is 1.000,02 XQR. Make sure you have this in your wallet, before continueing.
First, go to the QAE Interaction Screen, and select create new token (GENESIS)
.
A form will appear, where you can input your Token specific information.

Token Symbol (Ticker) The ticker or abbreviation you want your Token to have
Token Amount The amount of Tokens you want to create. This will be your total supply
Token Decimals The amount of decimals in what your tokens can be divided
Token URI (optional) ?

After a few confirmation (usually within minutes), your transaction will be confirmed. You will now have your freshly minted Tokens into your wallet!
If you want to send any tokens you hold in your wallet to someone else, you can make a SEND transaction.
First, go to the QAE Interaction Screen, and select Send token (SEND)
.
A form will appear, where you can input which Token you want to send (select the dropdown to see all tokens that are present in the wallet).

After a few confirmations (usually within minutes), your token wallet will be deducted, and the Recipient of the transaction will see his token balance increased!
A BURN transaction is used to destroy a tokens existence. These tokens will disappear from the total supply of the token. Anyone who holds the token, can burn them. You do not have to be the owner of the contract for that.
Below, are screenshots of the forms you will encounter. Since they are pretty much the same as the SEND form, I will not insult your intelligence by explaining all the fields.
