Ethereum: How to Use Chainlink to Price Your Custom Token and Display It in Wallets Like TronLink

As an Ethereum developer, you’ve probably come across scenarios where you need to display the price of a custom token directly in wallets like TronLink. In this article, we’ll explore how to use Chainlink to achieve this goal.

Why Use Chainlink?

Chainlink is a popular platform that enables decentralized price feeds and liquidity pools. With Chainlink, you can create a custom token price feed and connect it to your Ethereum smart contract, allowing users to display the price directly in wallets like TronLink.

Step 1: Create a Custom Token Price Feed

To create a custom token price feed using Chainlink, follow these steps:

• Create an Ethereum Wallet: Set up a new Ethereum wallet on Tron or another compatible blockchain.

• Install the Chainlink Ethereum API Library

  : Install the Chainlink Ethereum API library for your preferred programming language (e.g. JavaScript, Solidity).

• Configure a custom token price feed: Create a new custom token price feed using the Chainlink API library. This will require defining the following parameters:

• token_address: The address of your custom token.

• price_feed_id: A unique identifier for the price feed (e.g. an Ethereum address).

• limit: The maximum amount of data to include in the price feed.

Here is some sample JavaScript code:

const Chainlink = require('chainlink');
// Configure the Chainlink API library
const chainlink = new Chainlink.Ethereum();
// Define the custom token price feed
const priceFeed = {
address: '0x...',
limit: 100,
data: {}
};
// Set up a callback function to handle price updates
chainlink.setPriceFeedCallback(
(data) => {
// Update the price in your smart contract
console.log('Custom token price updated:', data);
},
{ address: '0x...', limit: 100 }
);
// Create a new Ethereum wallet and connect it to the price feed
const wallet = new Web3.EthereumWallet({
providerUrl: "
});
// Get the current block number
wallet.getBlockNumber((error, blockNumber) => {
if (error) {
console.error(error);
return;
}
// Set up a callback function to handle price updates from Chainlink
chainlink.on(
"priceUpdated",
(data) => {
const currentPrice = data.currentTokenPrice;
wallet.displayCustomTokenPrice(currentPrice);
},
{ address: '0x...', limit: 100 }
);
});

Step 2: Display custom token price in wallets like TronLink

Once you have set up a custom token price feed, you can connect it to your Ethereum smart contract and display the price directly in wallets like TronLink.

• Create a smart contract: Write a new Ethereum smart contract using Solidity.

• Add a function to display the price of the custom token: Create a new function that takes the current block number as input and displays the price of the custom token.

• Call the smart contract function from the wallet: Use the web3 library to call the smart contract function from the wallet.

Here is an example Solidity code snippet:

solidity pragma ^0.6.0;
contract CustomToken {
uint256 public customPrice;
constructor() {
CustomPrice = 100; // Replace with the actual value
}
function displayCustomPrice(uint256 _blockNumber) public {
require(_blockNumber <= blockgates.length, 'Block number out of range');
customPrice = _blockNumber;
emit CustomTokenPriceUpdated(customPrice);
}
}

In this article, we explored how to use Chainlink to create a custom token price feed and display it in wallets like TronLink.
