Is it possible/safe to use call for ERC20 token transfer?

Solidity Programming
#1

out of curiosity, is it possible to use call for ERC20 token transfer? I always use transfer for ERC20 tokens and call for eth. on the native token depending on the evm chain. @cryptokid

#2

can you give an example? I don’t know on what you are referring now

#3

this (IERC20(_token).transfer(_withdrawerAddress, _amount) vs (bool sent, ) = _to.call{value:_value}('')

what is the best way of transferring an ERC20 token?

#4

this is a question specific to solidity?

#5

Yes.

does the forum allow engaging in solidity questions as well?

#6

yes, you can ask solidity questions, I don’t know what is the best option now

Using transfer / transferFrom which are standard methods. But using call should be possible.
