_Implementation of the {IERC20} interface.
This implementation is agnostic to the way tokens are created. This means that a supply mechanism has to be added in a derived contract using {_mint}. For a generic mechanism see {ERC20PresetMinterPauser}.
TIP: For a detailed writeup see our guide https://forum.zeppelin.solutions/t/how-to-implement-erc20-supply-mechanisms/226[How to implement supply mechanisms].
We have followed general OpenZeppelin guidelines: functions revert instead
of returning false
on failure. This behavior is nonetheless conventional
and does not conflict with the expectations of ERC20 applications.
Additionally, an {Approval} event is emitted on calls to {transferFrom}. This allows applications to reconstruct the allowance for all accounts just by listening to said events. Other implementations of the EIP may not emit these events, as it isn’t required by the specification.
Finally, the non-standard {decreaseAllowance} and {increaseAllowance} functions have been added to mitigate the well-known issues around setting allowances. See {IERC20-approve}._
mapping(address => uint256) balanceOf
Returns the amount of tokens owned by account
.
mapping(address => mapping(address => uint256)) 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 {approve} or {transferFrom} are called._
uint256 totalSupply
Returns the amount of tokens in existence.
string name
string symbol
uint8 decimals
constructor(string name_, string symbol_, uint8 decimals_) public
Sets the values for {name}, {symbol}, and {decimals}.
function transfer(address recipient, uint256 amount) external virtual returns (bool)
_See {IERC20-transfer}.
Requirements:
recipient
cannot be the zero address.amount
._function approve(address spender, uint256 amount) external virtual returns (bool)
_See {IERC20-approve}.
NOTE: If amount
is the maximum uint256
, the allowance is not updated on
transferFrom
. This is semantically equivalent to an infinite approval.
Requirements:
spender
cannot be the zero address._function transferFrom(address sender, address recipient, uint256 amount) external virtual returns (bool)
_See {IERC20-transferFrom}.
Emits an {Approval} event indicating the updated allowance. This is not required by the EIP. See the note at the beginning of {ERC20}.
Requirements:
sender
and recipient
cannot be the zero address.sender
must have a balance of at least amount
.sender
’s tokens of at least
amount
._function increaseAllowance(address spender, uint256 addedValue) external virtual returns (bool)
_Atomically increases the allowance granted to spender
by the caller.
This is an alternative to {approve} that can be used as a mitigation for problems described in {IERC20-approve}.
Emits an {Approval} event indicating the updated allowance.
Requirements:
spender
cannot be the zero address._function decreaseAllowance(address spender, uint256 subtractedValue) external virtual returns (bool)
_Atomically decreases the allowance granted to spender
by the caller.
This is an alternative to {approve} that can be used as a mitigation for problems described in {IERC20-approve}.
Emits an {Approval} event indicating the updated allowance.
Requirements:
spender
cannot be the zero address.spender
must have allowance for the caller of at least
subtractedValue
._function _transfer(address sender, address recipient, uint256 amount) internal virtual
_Moves tokens amount
from sender
to recipient
.
This is internal function is equivalent to {transfer}, and can be used to e.g. implement automatic token fees, slashing mechanisms, etc.
Emits a {Transfer} event.
Requirements:
sender
cannot be the zero address.recipient
cannot be the zero address.sender
must have a balance of at least amount
._function _mint(address account, uint256 amount) internal virtual
_Creates amount
tokens and assigns them to account
, increasing
the total supply.
Emits a {Transfer} event with from
set to the zero address.
Requirements:
to
cannot be the zero address._function _burn(address account, uint256 amount) internal virtual
_Destroys amount
tokens from account
, reducing the
total supply.
Emits a {Transfer} event with to
set to the zero address.
Requirements:
account
cannot be the zero address.account
must have at least amount
tokens._function _approve(address owner, address spender, uint256 amount) internal virtual
_Sets amount
as the allowance of spender
over the owner
s tokens.
This internal function is equivalent to approve
, and can be used to
e.g. set automatic allowances for certain subsystems, etc.
Emits an {Approval} event.
Requirements:
owner
cannot be the zero address.spender
cannot be the zero address._function _beforeTokenTransfer(address from, address to, uint256 amount) internal virtual
_Hook that is called before any transfer of tokens. This includes minting and burning.
