ERC Token Standard

Definition

An ERC Token Standard is a set of rules and guidelines that define how tokens operate on the Ethereum blockchain. These standards ensure interoperability and consistency across various decentralized applications and wallets. Examples include ERC-20 for fungible tokens and ERC-721 for non-fungible tokens, each dictating specific functions for token creation, transfer, and balance inquiry. Adherence to these standards is crucial for ecosystem compatibility.
