IERC20Metadata

Interface for the optional metadata functions from the ERC20 standard. Available since v4.1.

Methods

allowance

function allowance(address owner, address spender) external view returns (uint256)

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 {approve} or {transferFrom} are called.

Parameters

Name Type Description
owner address undefined
spender address undefined

Returns

Name Type Description
_0 uint256 undefined

approve

function approve(address spender, uint256 amount) external nonpayable returns (bool)

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: https://github.com/ethereum/EIPs/issues/20#issuecomment-263524729 Emits an {Approval} event.

Parameters

Name Type Description
spender address undefined
amount uint256 undefined

Returns

Name Type Description
_0 bool undefined

balanceOf

function balanceOf(address account) external view returns (uint256)

Returns the amount of tokens owned by account.

Parameters

Name Type Description
account address undefined

Returns

Name Type Description

decimals

function decimals() external view returns (uint8)

Returns the decimals places of the token.

Returns

Name Type Description
_0 uint8 undefined

name

function name() external view returns (string)

Returns the name of the token.

Returns

Name Type Description
_0 string undefined

symbol

function symbol() external view returns (string)

Returns the symbol of the token.

Returns

totalSupply

function totalSupply() external view returns (uint256)

Returns the amount of tokens in existence.

Returns

Name Type Description

transfer

function transfer(address recipient, uint256 amount) external nonpayable returns (bool)

Moves amount tokens from the caller's account to recipient. Returns a boolean value indicating whether the operation succeeded. Emits a {Transfer} event.

Parameters

Name Type Description
recipient address undefined
amount uint256 undefined

Returns

transferFrom

function transferFrom(address sender, address recipient, uint256 amount) external nonpayable returns (bool)

Moves amount tokens from sender to recipient 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.

Parameters
