ERC20 is the most widely adopted token standard on Ethereum. It defines a common interface that ensures all tokens work seamlessly with wallets, exchanges, and dApps.
What Makes ERC20 Special?
Before ERC20, every token implemented its own interface. This meant wallets and exchanges had to write custom code for each token. ERC20 solved this by creating a universal standard—like USB ports for blockchain tokens.
Interoperability
Any wallet supporting ERC20 can hold any ERC20 token. MetaMask, Ledger, and hundreds more work out of the box.
Exchange Integration
Exchanges can list new tokens immediately because they already know how to interact with the standard interface.
DeFi Ready
Protocols like Uniswap and Aave support any ERC20 token automatically, enabling instant trading and lending.
Easy to Deploy
Launch tokens in minutes using battle-tested templates like OpenZeppelin's ERC20 implementation.
