What are the various #Ethereum ERC Token Standards?
A thread 🧵
#ERC (Ethereum Request for Comments) are Ethereum application-level specifications, such as token standards, name registries, library/package formats etc.
Anyone can make an ERC token with #Ethereum Blockchain app development, but the author must clarify their standard and gain community approval for it to be adopted widely.
ERC-20
🔶It is most widely used for all smart contracts on the Ethereum blockchain to date.
🔶#ERC20 tokens are digital assets that can be sent and received on the Ethereum blockchain.
🔶It simplifies development, use and exchange of #Ethereum-based tokens.
🔶ERC-1400 - are actual securities that can be used to represent any real-world asset on the blockchain.
🔶ERC-1404 is an extension of the ERC-20 that allows for the issuance of Security Tokens with transfer restrictions to comply with regulatory requirements.
Finally, it is the developer(s) who must decide which #ERC Token Standard he/she/they want to adopt to provide the most value to the end user.
