Token

A digital asset built on an existing blockchain, like Ethereum.

A token is a crypto asset created on top of an existing blockchain rather than having its own. Many tokens live on Ethereum and follow shared standards (like ERC-20) so wallets and apps can support them easily.

Tokens can represent currencies, voting rights in a project, access to a service, or stakes in DeFi protocols.
