ERC-20
In 2015, Fabian Vogelsteller and Vitalik Buterin led the development of the ERC-20 token, which allows creating a standard interface to easily deploy tokens over the Ethereum network.
ERC-20 initiated the world ICO wave and a new era of tokenized investment and crowd ownership.
It has become the blueprint for creating tokens that are compatible with the blockchain.
The success of this structure was immediate—the avalanche of ICOs and new tokens on the Ethereum network was huge.
For this reason and thanks to its creator, Vogelsteller was dubbed as "The Father of ICOs."
