Ethereum Standard

Definition

An Ethereum Standard is a set of rules or specifications that dictate how smart contracts should function on the Ethereum blockchain, particularly concerning token creation and management. These standards ensure interoperability, allowing different applications and wallets to interact seamlessly with tokens. The most prominent examples include ERC-20 for fungible tokens and ERC-721 for non-fungible tokens (NFTs). Adherence to these standards is crucial for the robust functioning of the Ethereum ecosystem.
