In the world of cryptocurrency, the terms “coin” and “token” are often used interchangeably, but they represent different concepts. A coin, like Bitcoin or Ethereum, operates on its own blockchain. It is a form of digital currency, used primarily for transactions, and often serves as the native currency of its blockchain. Coins are typically used for transferring value, whether that be through trading, purchasing goods and services, or even acting as a store of value similar to traditional money.

On the other hand, tokens are created on existing blockchains, most commonly on platforms like Ethereum. They represent a variety of assets or utilities, such as ownership of a digital item, access to a specific service, or even a share in a project. Unlike coins, tokens do not operate on their own blockchain but are hosted on a blockchain that allows the creation of smart contracts. For instance, many decentralized applications (dApps) issue tokens for their users, which can be utilized within the ecosystem of the application or traded on cryptocurrency exchanges.

The distinction between the two also extends to their purpose. While coins are largely focused on facilitating payments and acting as a medium of exchange, tokens can have much broader use cases. Tokens can represent anything from digital assets, governance rights in a project, or even real-world assets like property. This flexibility has led to a diverse ecosystem where tokens power a wide range of decentralized applications and platforms across the crypto space.
