= ERC 20
This set of interfaces, contracts, and utilities are all related to the https://eips.ethereum.org/EIPS/eip-20[ERC20 Token Standard].
TIP: For an overview of ERC20 tokens and a walkthrough on how to create a token contract read our xref:ROOT:tokens.adoc#ERC20[ERC20 guide].
There a few core contracts that implement the behavior specified in the EIP:
* {IERC20}: the interface all ERC20 implementations should conform to
* {ERC20}: the base implementation of the ERC20 interface
* {ERC20Detailed}: includes the <<ERC20Detailed-name,`name`>>,
<<ERC20Detailed-symbol,`symbol`>> and <<ERC20Detailed-decimals,`decimals`>>
optional standard extension to the base interface
Additionally there are multiple custom extensions, including:
* designation of addresses that can create token supply ({ERC20Mintable}), with an optional maximum cap ({ERC20Capped})
* destruction of own tokens ({ERC20Burnable})
* designation of addresses that can pause token operations for all users ({ERC20Pausable}).
Finally, there are some utilities to interact with ERC20 contracts in various ways.
* {SafeERC20} is a wrapper around the interface that eliminates the need to handle boolean return values.
* {TokenTimelock} can hold tokens for a beneficiary until a specified time.
