            Introduction: ERC-20 token

            ERC-20 tokens have been a vital contributor to the massive adoption and expansion of crypto and blockchain. ERC-20 tokens gained an enormous rate of adoption primarily owing to their versatile and robust token mechanism and not to forget the vibrant Ethereum community. ERC-20 is the Ethereum Standard to create fungible (tradable) tokens like Basic Attention Token, Uniswap, and Matic to name a few. 

            ERC-20 allows smart-contract-enabled tokens to be used across Ethereum-based networks and projects across DeFi- Decentralized Finance, GameFi, Decentralized Applications, and other categories. ERC-20 tokens can be applied as utility, payments, governance, or as security tokens on solutions built on the Ethereum blockchain. 

            The rise of ERC-20 tokens 

            After Uniswap (UNI) and Maker (MKR), ERC-20 tokens took off well and were later applied across blockchain-based channels like Metaverse, P2E gaming, DeFi, utility, and payments. 

            The market cap of the Ethereum (ERC20) Tokens sector is $ 97.66 billion, representing 10.39% of the total crypto market cap.
