We are getting comments from new users on how to differentiate different kinds of tokens. Aenco loves the idea of a knowledge-driven community and we thought we could try sharing five types of tokens you should know. Here’s the list:
- Platform tokens
Key Points for Type One
• Utilize blockchain infrastructures to deliver decentralized applications for different uses
• Benefit from the blockchains they build upon, gaining enhanced security and the ability to support transactional activity
• Run the gamut of use cases, from serving gaming and digital collectibles platforms to global advertising and marketplace industries
2. Security tokens
Key Points for Type two
- An instrument issued by a company, trust, government, or other legal entity that memorializes an ownership interest and provides evidence of a debt, a right to a share of earnings, a right in property distribution, or other similar legal rights.
• Types of securities include, among others, bonds, debentures, notes, options, shares, and warrants, and may be traded amongst investors or otherwise freely transferable.
• Direct, on-chain representations of real-world securities or tokens that are on-chain instruments serving a similar purpose for blockchain projects and/or digital assets.
• Can represent property interests
3. Transactional tokens
Key Points for Type Three
• serve as units of account and are exchanged for goods and services.
• function like traditional currencies
• provide additional benefits. For example, with decentralized cryptocurrencies, such as Bitcoin, it is possible for users to execute transactions without a traditional intermediary or central authority, such as a bank or payment gateway.
• like other comparables, it could function as a currency
4. Utility tokens
Key Points for Type Four
• Integrated into an existing protocol on the blockchain
• Used to access the services of that protocol.
• Not created for direct investment like security tokens
• Can be used for payment of services within their specific ecosystems
• The relationship between a platform and a utility token is synergistic, as the platform provides security for the utility token while the token provides the network activity necessary to strengthen the platform’s economy.
5. Governance tokens
Key Points for Type Five
• On-chain governance allows all stakeholders to collaborate, debate, and vote on how to manage a system.
• Governance tokens fuel blockchain-based voting systems
• Used to signal support for proposed changes and to vote on new proposals.
