ERC20 Token

Contracts that follow the ERC20 Standard are called ERC20 tokens. They are used to represent fungible assets.

To create an ERC20 conctract, it must implement the following interface:

#[starknet::interface]
trait IERC20<TContractState> {
    fn get_name(self: @TContractState) -> felt252;
    fn get_symbol(self: @TContractState) -> felt252;
    fn get_decimals(self: @TContractState) -> u8;
    fn get_total_supply(self: @TContractState) -> felt252;
    fn balance_of(self: @TContractState, account: ContractAddress) -> felt252;
    fn allowance(
        self: @TContractState, owner: ContractAddress, spender: ContractAddress
    ) -> felt252;
    fn transfer(ref self: TContractState, recipient: ContractAddress, amount: felt252);
    fn transfer_from(
        ref self: TContractState,
        sender: ContractAddress,
        recipient: ContractAddress,
        amount: felt252
    );
    fn approve(ref self: TContractState, spender: ContractAddress, amount: felt252);
    fn increase_allowance(ref self: TContractState, spender: ContractAddress, added_value: felt252);
    fn decrease_allowance(
        ref self: TContractState, spender: ContractAddress, subtracted_value: felt252
    );
}

In Starknet, function names should be written in snake_case. This is not the case in Solidity, where function names are written in camelCase. The Starknet ERC20 interface is therefore slightly different from the Solidity ERC20 interface.

Here's an implementation of the ERC20 interface in Cairo:

#[starknet::contract]
mod erc20 {
    use core::num::traits::Zero;
    use starknet::get_caller_address;
    use starknet::contract_address_const;
    use starknet::ContractAddress;
 
    #[storage]
    struct Storage {
        name: felt252,
        symbol: felt252,
        decimals: u8,
        total_supply: felt252,
        balances: LegacyMap::<ContractAddress, felt252>,
        allowances: LegacyMap::<(ContractAddress, ContractAddress), felt252>,
    }
 
    #[event]
    #[derive(Drop, starknet::Event)]
    enum Event {
        Transfer: Transfer,
        Approval: Approval,
    }
    #[derive(Drop, starknet::Event)]
    struct Transfer {
        from: ContractAddress,
        to: ContractAddress,
        value: felt252,
    }
    #[derive(Drop, starknet::Event)]
    struct Approval {
        owner: ContractAddress,
        spender: ContractAddress,
        value: felt252,
    }
 
    mod Errors {
        pub const APPROVE_FROM_ZERO: felt252 = 'ERC20: approve from 0';
        pub const APPROVE_TO_ZERO: felt252 = 'ERC20: approve to 0';
        pub const TRANSFER_FROM_ZERO: felt252 = 'ERC20: transfer from 0';
        pub const TRANSFER_TO_ZERO: felt252 = 'ERC20: transfer to 0';
        pub const BURN_FROM_ZERO: felt252 = 'ERC20: burn from 0';
        pub const MINT_TO_ZERO: felt252 = 'ERC20: mint to 0';
    }

There's several other implementations, such as the Open Zeppelin or the Cairo By Example ones.
