What Is the ERC-20 Standard for Tokens?

ERC-20 is a technical standard used for smart contracts on the Ethereum blockchain for implementing fungible tokens. It defines a common set of rules, such as how tokens are transferred and how to access data about them.

Adhering to this standard ensures interoperability, meaning all ERC-20 tokens can interact seamlessly with other applications and wallets on the Ethereum network.
