# Token Contract (ERC20)

ERC – Ethereum Request for Comments is the official protocol that facilitates the needed improvements to the Ethereum platform and ECR20 token standard is a technical specification that a new token on the platform implements.

ERC20 token standard refers common set of rules that all tokens have to follow, so that the tools, exchanges and wallets can predict how the token will behave or function with others within the platform.     

ERC20 Token Contract is a smart contract that contains a map of account addresses and their balances. The balance represents a value that is defined by the contract creator and the unit of this balance is commonly called a token.
