# Token Smart Contract Protocol

* The External-owned Account sends SC\_INFO to other nodes.
* External-owned Account sends a SEND Block containing a Public Token transaction to activate the Internalowned Account. Nodes in the network will verify the Smart Contract based on the SC\_INFO\_HASH in SEND.
* After confirming the SEND Block, External-owned Account issuesthe OPEN Block in the Internal-owned Account chain and the Genesis Block of token by utilizing “Init()” in the Smart Contract and consequently broadcasts to the entire network.
* When each node receives the broadcast, it updates the local account information and calculates the balance of the Root Token for the Internal-owned Account and the balance of the new token. The process of issuing a Token Smart Contract has been completed.
