The History of ERC-20 Tokens

ERC-20 became the standard for creating tokens on the Ethereum blockchain, which since its inception has revolutionized the cryptocurrency market. Introduced in 2015 by Vitalik Buterin and his team, this standard offered a unified approach to token development, making it easier and safer to create cryptocurrencies compatible with any applications on Ethereum. The ERC-20 standard ensures that all tokens will work with existing services and platforms such as wallets and exchanges. This standard accelerated the growth of ICOs and attracted the attention of many investors, speeding up the adoption of blockchain technologies in various sectors of the economy.
