ERC-20 is the Ethereum token standard used by thousands of DeFi tokens, stablecoins, and governance tokens. It's the most compatible standard for DeFi protocols.
Use ERC-20 when interacting with Ethereum DeFi (Uniswap, Aave, Compound), sending to MetaMask or hardware wallets, or when the receiving platform requires Ethereum network.
Always confirm that the sender and recipient are using the same network. Sending ERC-20 tokens to an address on a different network may result in permanent loss of funds.
