ERC20 Token Standard

ERC20 Token Standard

ERC-20 Token Standard is a defining set or rules for Ethereum-based tokens to follow, allowing the developers of wallets, exchanges and other smart contracts to know in advance how any new token based on the standard will behave. [1]

ERC20 (Ethereum Request for Commons)

A request for commons is a form of proposal whose aim is to define the rules and standards of practices.

The ERC20 is different than the EIP (Ethereum Improvement Proposal), an EIP is meant to be dedicated to the improvement of the Ethereum software, while the ERC20 is meant to condition the features that Ethereum offers.

In conclusion, the ERC20 is the de-facto standard for fungible assets.
