# Factory Contracts

Both factories inherit `BaseTokenFactory` and implement `IFactory`.

## Creation functions

```solidity
// Standard creation
function createToken(
    address owner_, string memory name_, string memory symbol_,
    uint8 decimals_, uint256 initialSupply_, uint256 maxSupply_,
    bytes memory salt_
) external payable returns (address);

// L2SuperChainTokenFactory only — bridged token
function createTokenWithBridge(
    ..., address bridge_, address remoteToken_, bytes memory salt_
) external returns (address);
```

## Deployment rules

|             | L1Token                                             | L2SuperChainToken                                                              |
| ----------- | --------------------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ |
| Owner       | Caller (`msg.sender`)                               | Caller (`msg.sender`)                                                          |
| Address     | CREATE2 from owner, name, symbol, decimals, salt    | Same — identical addresses across Superchain networks                          |
| Modes       | —                                                   | Native (`bridge = 0`) or Bridged (`bridge` + `remoteToken` set, both non-zero) |
| Validations | Recipient ≠ zero address; initialSupply ≤ maxSupply | Same                                                                           |

## Example

```solidity
// Native token on Celo
address t = factory.createToken(
    msg.sender, "My Token", "MTK", 18,
    1_000_000 ether, 10_000_000 ether,
    abi.encodePacked(msg.sender, block.timestamp)
);
```
