My 1st Rewards Token
In our fast-moving modern world, financial trust can be DANGEROUS—we can ONLY rely on MATHS for the truth!

Money has always been the greatest corrupter of man.
One of the MOST powerful qualities of money is its ability to remain uncorrupted by ANY one person, no matter how powerful that individual may be. Traditional rewards systems rely on a company’s promise to pay you. But promises are fragile.
By using Dash’s decentralized infrastructure, we replace the promise of a CEO with the certainty of a Data Contract. In this guide, we will launch your first Rewards Token using the Dash Evolution network—where the rules are written in code, and the truth is secured by math.
Introduction: Why a Rewards Token?
A rewards token is more than just a digital asset; it is a programmable incentive. Whether you are building a loyalty program for a coffee shop or a community governance tool, launching on Dash ensures that your users don’t have to trust that you will honor their points. The blockchain handles the ledger, the minting, and the distribution.
Step 1: Visit the DashSwap Token Launcher
The DashSwap Launcher is the gateway to deploying your own Data Contract on the Dash Evolution network. Navigate to:
URL: https://dashswap.xyz/launcher
Step 2: Connect Your Dash Identity
On Dash Evolution, we don’t just use cryptographic addresses; we use Identities. Before launching a token, ensure your wallet is connected and your Identity has a small balance of Credits (converted from DASH) to pay for the storage of your new Token Contract.
Step 3: Define Your Token Parameters
This is where the Maths come in. You will be prompted to enter:
- Token Name: (e.g., Sansbank Rewards)
- Symbol: (e.g., SANS)
- Total Supply: How many tokens will ever exist?
- Decimal Places: Typically 8 for Dash-based assets.
Note: Once these are written to the Data Contract, they are immutable. The math becomes the law.
Step 4: Configure Reward Logic
DashSwap allows you to set up how your rewards are triggered. Are they minted upon a specific user action? Or are they distributed from a pre-mined treasury? Select the logic that fits your project’s economic model.
Step 5: Check Availability and Namespace
Your token needs a unique identifier within the Dash Platform. The launcher will check if your token’s contract name is available. If it is, you are ready to anchor your project to the blockchain.
Step 6: Deploy to the Evolution Network
Click Deploy Contract. Your browser will prompt you to sign a transition. This broadcast tells the Dash Masternode network to recognize your new Rewards Token. Once the block is confirmed, your token exists globally.
Step 7: Verify the Contract
After deployment, you will receive a Contract ID. This is the unique fingerprint of your token. You can view this ID on the Dash Platform Explorer to prove to your users that the supply and rules are exactly what you claimed they were.
Step 8: Distribute Your First Rewards
Using your Dash username, you can now send your newly minted rewards to other usernames in the ecosystem. No more complex hex-addresses; simply send 10 SANS to @username and let the network handle the rest.
Conclusion
Congratulations! You have moved from a system of Trust to a system of Truth. By launching your first rewards token on Dash, you are utilizing a decentralized ledger where math ensures that no one can double-spend, inflate, or corrupt your rewards program.
The future of finance isn’t based on handshakes—it’s based on hashes.
