Four documents, the same five questions.
No throughput league table and no yield. The cells are what this library is willing to say about the text.
| Question | Token Standard |
|---|---|
| What the text proposes | A token contract exposes total supply, balance, transfer, and allowances. Wallets and exchanges can integrate one interface. |
| Who may write | Fabian Vogelsteller and Vitalik Buterin |
| What is settled | The contract is the ledger of balances. |
| Load-bearing assumption | ERC-20 does not make a token a security, a deposit, or a share. |
| What this library says afterwards | A reading of the public document. Not a copy of it, and not a claim about a later network that reused the name. |
| Rights | Official external source only |
