## What it is
A repository of minimalist, standards-compliant Solidity smart contracts for Ethereum tokens, primarily implementing the EIP20 (ERC-20) standard. It was intended as a readable reference implementation of token standards, but is now deprecated in favor of OpenZeppelin's token contracts.

## Use cases
- implement an erc20 token contract in solidity
- reference implementation of the eip20 token standard
- learn how ethereum token contracts work
- minimalist token contract for ethereum
- publish token contracts via ethpm

## When to choose
- studying a simple, well-documented ERC-20 reference implementation for learning purposes

## When to avoid
- starting a new production token project - the repo is deprecated and recommends OpenZeppelin
- needing feature-rich or audited token implementations with active maintenance
- requiring support for newer token standards like ERC-777 or ERC-4626

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: abandoned
- function: sdk, security
- domain: blockchain, developer-tools
- platform: -
- tags: ethereum, solidity, smart-contracts, erc20, token-standards, deprecated, eip20, cryptocurrency, nodejs, javascript
