ERC-20
The token standard for assets on the Ethereum blockchain, used by USDT, USDC and most stablecoins.
Last updated:
ERC-20 is the standard that defines how tokens behave on the Ethereum network. Major stablecoins such as USDT and USDC are available as ERC-20 tokens.
ERC-20 transfers are highly compatible but can carry higher gas fees than networks like Tron, so many users pick a cheaper network for routine card top-ups.
