ERC-20 vs BEP-2/BEP-20

• Link to the article
  • This “parallel” blockchain dynamic has led to a situation where the Binance ecosystem has two central token standards (like Ethereum’s ERC-20), which are BEP-2 (the main fungible token standard of Binance Chain) and BEP-20 (the main fungible token standard of BSC). Accordingly, not only are BEP-2 and BEP-20 token addresses distinct from each other in format, they’re also both separate from, though inspired by, ERC-20s.
