The Basics

The mode-20 is a token inscription protocol on Mode. The protocol's state is determined by sequentially indexing all Mode transactions.

The mode-20 protocol employs a fungible token standard with an account-balance model to track the balance of addresses for each token ticker. For mint operations, the minted amount of tokens is added to the minter's address balance corresponding to the ticker. For transfer operations, the amount of tokens is subtracted from the sender's balance and added to the receiver's balance.
