IERC20Decimals
Interface of the ERC20 standard as defined in the EIP.
Functions
totalSupply
Returns the amount of tokens in existence.
balanceOf
Returns the amount of tokens owned by account
.
transfer
Moves amount
tokens from the caller’s account to to
.
Returns a boolean value indicating whether the operation succeeded.
Emits a Transfer event.
allowance
Returns the remaining number of tokens that spender
will be
allowed to spend on behalf of owner
through transferFrom. This is
zero by default.
This value changes when or are called.
approve
Sets amount
as the allowance of spender
over the caller’s tokens.
Returns a boolean value indicating whether the operation succeeded.
IMPORTANT: Beware that changing an allowance with this method brings the risk
that someone may use both the old and the new allowance by unfortunate
transaction ordering. One possible solution to mitigate this race
condition is to first reduce the spender’s allowance to 0 and set the
desired value afterwards:

Emits an Approval event.
transferFrom
Moves amount
tokens from from
to to
using the
allowance mechanism. amount
is then deducted from the caller’s
allowance.
Returns a boolean value indicating whether the operation succeeded.
Emits a Transfer event.
decimals
Returns the number of decimals used to get its user representation.
For example, if decimals
equals 2
, a balance of 505
tokens should
be displayed to a user as 5.05
(505 / 10 ** 2
).
Tokens usually opt for a value of 18, imitating the relationship between
Ether and Wei. This is the default value returned by this function, unless
it’s overridden.
NOTE: This information is only used for display purposes: it in
no way affects any of the arithmetic of the contract, including
IERC20-balanceOf and {IERC20-transfer}
.
Events
Transfer
Emitted when value
tokens are moved from one account (from
) to
another (to
).
Note that value
may be zero.
Approval
Emitted when the allowance of a spender
for an owner
is set by
a call to approve. value
is the new allowance.
