| The ERC-20 ([[Ethereum]] Request for Comments 20), proposed by Fabian Vogelsteller in November 2015<ref>https://eips.ethereum.org/EIPS/eip-20</ref>, is a Token Standard that implements an API for tokens within [[Smart Contract|Smart Contracts]].
| | #REDIRECT [[ERC20]] |
| | |
| Example functionalities ERC-20 provides:
| |
| | |
| * transfer tokens from one account to another
| |
| * get the current token balance of an account
| |
| * get the total supply of the token available on the network
| |
| * approve whether an amount of token from an account can be spent by a third-party account
| |
| | |
| If a Smart Contract implements the following methods and events it can be called an ERC-20 Token Contract and, once deployed, it will be responsible to keep track of the created tokens on Ethereum<ref>https://ethereum.org/en/developers/docs/standards/tokens/erc-20/</ref>
