What kinds of tickets are there?

In the context of cryptocurrencies, a token is a unit of record that provides a digital balance in a particular asset and is not itself a cryptocurrency. A token is a record in the blockchain to which it belongs.

Typically, the creation and management of a token is implemented using smart contracts, which store all the data about the token, the balances in the holders' accounts, and by which tokens can be transferred from one account to another.

People often confuse the terms "token" and "cryptocurrency" because, at first glance, they are similar, but there is a fundamental difference. Cryptocurrencies work inside their blockchain (for example, Ethereum) and circulate in the external digital economy. On the other hand, Tokens are created on a third-party blockchain and used within the project's economic model.

Scope of tokens
Proof of ownership of a share of a particular project or decentralized autonomous organization (DAO).
Confirmation of digital ownership (in the case of NFT tokens).
Creation of stablecoins tied to fiat currencies.
A means of payment for the services or products of a project or an entire ecosystem.
Rewards for any actions in the project.
This is a partial list of possible applications of tokens in the cryptocurrency environment.
Types of tokens
Many types of tokens differ in the way they are used, including payment network tokenization. Often, tokens can inherit several styles at once. Let's take a look at the main ones:

1. app tokens (App Coins).

This type of token is a digital unit of protocol for mobile or desktop applications based on blockchain. This category can include any tokens for which goods or services can be purchased within a particular project or ecosystem.

2. Utility Tokens.

Tokens are needed to get some privileges in projects or ecosystems. A striking example of such tickets is exchange tokens.

Tokens of centralized exchanges: BNB (Binance), KCS (Kucoin), HT (Huobi), BGB (Bitget), CET (CoinEx).
Tokens of decentralized exchanges: UNI (Uniswap), Cake (Pancakeswap), BSW (Biswas), NMX (Nomiswap), MJT (MojitoSwap).
Such tokens offer their holders the opportunity to get discounts on commissions and access various investments and other useful tools.

Governance Tokens

Governance tokens allow holders to participate in the development of a project by voting. The weight of the user's vote depends on the number of tickets available. They are used in decentralized autonomous organizations (DAO).

DAO management tokens: Maker (MakerDAO), 1inch (1inchDAO), BIT (BitDAO).
