# Token Contract Interaction

For the token contract interaction, you first need to clone the following repository: <https://github.com/stellar/soroban-examples/> and build the `token` project. This will generate a `soroban_token_contract.wasm` file which we can deploy to interact with the token contract.

#### Deploy:

This deploys the token contract to the futurenet. You will receive a contract ID (`TOKEN_CONTRACT_ID`).

```shell
soroban contract deploy \
    --wasm target/wasm32-unknown-unknown/release/soroban_token_contract.wasm \
    --rpc-url https://rpc-futurenet.stellar.org:443 \
    --network-passphrase 'Test SDF Future Network ; October 2022'
```

#### Check Balance:

You can check the balance of any `USER_ADDRESS` with the following command:

```shell
soroban contract invoke \
      --wasm target/wasm32-unknown-unknown/release/soroban_token_contract.wasm \
      --id ${TOKEN_CONTRACT_ID} \
      --rpc-url https://rpc-futurenet.stellar.org:443 \
      --network-passphrase 'Test SDF Future Network ; October 2022' \
      -- balance --id ${USER_ADDRESS}
```

#### Make Admin:

An existing admin can promote any `USER_ADDRESS` to admin status using the following command:

```shell
soroban contract invoke \
      --wasm target/wasm32-unknown-unknown/release/soroban_token_contract.wasm \
      --id ${TOKEN_CONTRACT_ID} \
      --source ${ADMIN_SECRET_KEY} \
      --rpc-url https://rpc-futurenet.stellar.org:443 \
      --network-passphrase 'Test SDF Future Network ; October 2022' \
      -- set_admin --new_admin ${USER_ADDRESS}
```

#### Check Authorization:

You can check if `USER_ADDRESS` is authorized to spend their balance with the following command:

```shell
soroban contract invoke \
      --wasm target/wasm32-unknown-unknown/release/soroban_token_contract.wasm \
      --id ${TOKEN_CONTRACT_ID} \
      --rpc-url https://rpc-futurenet.stellar.org:443 \
      --network-passphrase 'Test SDF Future Network ; October 2022' \
      -- authorized --id ${USER_ADDRESS}
```

#### Change Authorization:

An admin can authorize any `USER_ADDRESS` to spend their balance with the following command:

```shell
soroban contract invoke \
      --wasm target/wasm32-unknown-unknown/release/soroban_token_contract.wasm \
      --id ${TOKEN_CONTRACT_ID} \
      --source ${ADMIN_SECRET_KEY} \
      --rpc-url https://rpc-futurenet.stellar.org:443 \
      --network-passphrase 'Test SDF Future Network ; October 2022' \
      -- set_authorized --id ${USER_ADDRESS} -authorize
```

Remember to replace `${TOKEN_CONTRACT_ID}`, `${USER_ADDRESS}`, and `${ADMIN_SECRET_KEY}` with actual values in your environment.
