Do ERC-20 tokens use gas?
ERC-20 tokens are a standard for fungible tokens that operate on the Ethereum blockchain. Given their integration within this network, I'm curious about whether they utilize gas as a transaction fee. Ethereum's network requires gas to be paid for every computational step or transaction executed on its platform. This ensures that users are compensated for the resources their transactions consume. Since ERC-20 tokens exist and function within this ecosystem, it stands to reason that their transactions would also be subject to gas fees. Am I correct in assuming that ERC-20 tokens do indeed use gas? If so, how does this work in practice, and what are the implications for token holders and traders?
