How Do Token Standards Relate to the Concept of Interoperability in DeFi?
Token standards are the foundational rules that dictate how tokens function and interact. Interoperability in Decentralized Finance (DeFi) is achieved because all protocols agree to these standards.
For example, any DeFi protocol can interact with any ERC-20 token because they all share the same set of functions (transfer, balance, etc.). This standardization allows assets to flow seamlessly between different lending, trading, and derivative platforms, enabling the composability of the DeFi ecosystem.
