📘 Crypto From Zero to Pro 🟢 Day 12/200 . . Coins vs Tokens 🪙 One of the most confusing topics for beginners in crypto is the difference between coins and tokens. They may look similar, trade on the same exchanges, and move in price — but technically, they are very different. Understanding this difference will help you make better investment and trading decisions. 🔍 What Are Coins? Coins are cryptocurrencies that have their own independent blockchain. They are usually created to function as: • Digital money • A store of value • A native currency for a blockchain Examples of coins include: Bitcoin ($BTC ), Ethereum ($ETH ), $BNB , Solana (SOL) Coins are mainly used to: • Pay transaction fees • Transfer value • Secure the network (through mining or staking) 🕯️If a cryptocurrency runs on its own blockchain, it is a coin. 🔍 What Are Tokens? Tokens do not have their own blockchain. Instead, they are built on top of an existing blockchain, most commonly Ethereum. Tokens are created using smart contracts and are often used for: • Access to a platform or service • Governance (voting rights) • DeFi, NFTs, gaming, or utilities Examples of tokens include: USDT (stablecoin token), UNI, LINK, AAVE 🕯️If a crypto asset depends on another blockchain to exist, it is a token. ⚖️ Coins vs Tokens: Key Differences Coins:- Have their own blockchain Mainly used as money or network fuel More fundamental to blockchain infrastructure Tokens:- Built on existing blockchains Used for applications and utilities Easier to create, but riskier ⚠️ Important Beginner Insight Anyone can create a token in minutes. That’s why the crypto market has thousands of low-quality or scam tokens. Coins are generally fewer and more established — but tokens are where most innovation happens. This is why education, analysis, and risk management matter so much.
