ERC20 works an ethereum asset which can be used in the ethereum blockchain as secondary coin after ethereum. In my understanding about that if ERC20 token can be issued and integrated into the platform.
I've seen some platform used ERC20 just like a kay to use the product or even more.
Another usefulness of ERC20 token it can be traded through exchange site.
If it is the second coin after ethereum, some tokens are borrowing ethereum platform? Because they are using ethereum transactions, so these tokens are far different in other altcoins like ethereum itself or litecoin in cryptocurrency?
And in MEW, shall we input token name as erc20 or token name itself so we can trade them in an exchange?
