Operation: Deploy

before you can mint a token, you must deploy it.

By inscribing a deploy event, you deploy an ESC-20.

You must hold the deploy inscription to claim the ownership of the ESC-20.

All ESC-20 events are prefixed with data:application/json, before the raw JSON data (formatted without spaces or tabs) for sanity. Only ASCII characters are accepted as valid, to prevent users using homoglyphs to make ethscriptions appear legit.
