VelvetToken Contract (VLT)

A minimal BEP-20 token with a time-locked launch and owner-controlled whitelist.

✨ Key features

• Launch lock – transfers are blocked until transferAllowedTimestamp.
• Whitelist – owner can add/remove addresses that bypass the lock.
• ETA guard – once the lock has started, the owner can only move the launch earlier (never later).
• Minting – owner-only mintTo() for treasury, airdrops, etc.

🚀 Deployment workflow

1. Deploy the contract

   • Choose a transferAllowedTimestamp equal to your planned TGE (Unix seconds).
   • Compile & broadcast using Hardhat or Remix, then verify on BSCScan for transparency.

2. Mint initial supply (≤ 1 Billion VLT)

   • From the owner wallet call mintTo(address,uint256) for every recipient (treasury, liquidity, launchpad escrow, etc.).
   • For large airdrops, mint once to an admin wallet and distribute with a multisender dApp to save gas.

3. (Optional) Whitelist early participants

   • Before the timestamp elapses, only whitelisted addresses can transfer.
   • Use addToWhitelist(address) for launchpad contracts, market-maker bots, or partners.

4. Token Generation Event (TGE)

   • When block.timestamp ≥ transferAllowedTimestamp, the gate opens automatically—no further action required.

5. Post-TGE hardening

   • After all airdrops, liquidity adds, and housekeeping are complete, call renounceOwnership() (from OpenZeppelin Ownable).
   • This permanently disables onlyOwner functions (minting, whitelist edits), making the token trustless
