An ERC-20 token is a widely used technical standard on Ethereum enabling interchangeable (fungible) digital assets. Most Ethereum-based cryptocurrencies - including Tsuka - use the ERC-20 format, defining how tokens are transferred, stored, and interacted with by smart contracts. The standard underpins both technical compatibility and digital asset ownership.

Key Takeaways

  • ERC-20 tokens: fungible assets that follow the ERC-20 standard on Ethereum.
  • The basis for most tokens listed on Ethereum dApps and exchanges.
