Is there a way to prevent an ERC20 transfer if the amount exceeds the balance?

avatarAkshay KabraNov 25, 2021 · 3 years ago1 answers

I am wondering if there is any method to stop an ERC20 transfer from happening if the amount being transferred exceeds the balance of the sender's account. Is there any built-in functionality or smart contract solution that can prevent this situation?

    Preventing an ERC20 transfer if the amount exceeds the balance is indeed possible. One way to achieve this is by using the 'require' statement in your smart contract. You can add a condition that checks if the sender's balance is greater than or equal to the transfer amount. If the condition is not met, the transfer will fail and the transaction will be reverted. This ensures that transfers can only occur when the sender has enough balance. By implementing this check, you can prevent transfers that exceed the balance and maintain the integrity of your ERC20 token system.
