ERC20 Tokens

An ERC20 token is a type of token that follows the ERC20 standard for Ethereum which enables the creation of new tokens.

ERC20 is a standard used for creating and issuing smart contract-based tokens on the Ethereum blockchain. It provides a list of rules that all Ethereum-based tokens must follow, including how the tokens can be transferred, how transactions are approved, how users can access data about a token, and the total supply of tokens. This standardization allows different ERC20 tokens to interact with each other within a shared ecosystem (such as a single cryptocurrency exchange), which simplifies the creation of new tokens. Many of the tokens used in Initial Coin Offerings (ICOs) are ERC20 tokens.

Example:

Tokens such as USD Coin (USDC), Uniswap (UNI), and Chainlink (LINK) are examples of ERC20 tokens.
