What Are ERC20 Tokens?

An ERC20 token is a type of crypto that is built on the back of the Ethereum blockchain through a smart contract. If you have ever heard of Shiba Inu & the Basic Attention Tokens then these are both ERC20 tokens. These tokens are deployed through a smart contract, so they use the Ethereum blockchain to make trades, sales and purchases.

Important Point: ERC20 tokens are backed by the Ethereum blockchain and deployed using Ethereum as liquidity. You must also use Ethereum to purchase any ERC20 token, unless you already own one of the many ERC20 tokens then you can swap one for another, but will need to pay the gas fees in Ethereum. No wonder Ethereum is making huge grounds, with no accountability!

Are ERC20 Tokens Safe?

If you are a beginner and wanted to start trading ERC20 tokens then I would say no, this is because scams have become the norm on this blockchain. There are so many copy tokens made to look legitimate, rug pulls and many honey pots. You need to know what to look out for when trading ERC20 tokens.

• High chance of scams
• Only trade well-known tokens

You need to be vigilant because at any moment investors will drop their liquidity/funds and there will be a run on your invested ERC20 token. An ERC20 token is not built for hodling because it’s really a bad savings club where all investors have shaky hands and could withdraw their liquidity at any moment.

These tokens are not for the faint-hearted and you will probably lose your investment sooner rather than later!
