Crypto tokens are generated by developers, companies, or individuals through various methods, such as:
1. Initial Coin Offerings (ICOs): A fundraising method where a new project sells tokens to investors.
2. Token Generation Events (TGEs): Similar to ICOs, but often used for utility tokens.
3. Mining or Staking: Some tokens are generated as rewards for validating transactions on a blockchain.
4. Airdrops: Free distribution of tokens to promote a project.
The value of a crypto token grows through:
1. Adoption and usage: Increased use and acceptance of the token.
2. Scarcity: Limited supply and high demand.
3. Hype and speculation: Market sentiment and investor interest.
4. Partnerships and integrations: Collaborations with other projects or companies.
5. Network effects: Increased value as more users join the ecosystem.
