Coin vs Token: Whatโ€™s the Difference? ๐Ÿค”๐Ÿช™

๐Ÿ“Œ Many people think coins and tokens are the same โ€” but they are not.

๐Ÿ“Œ A coin has its own blockchain.

Examples: Bitcoin, Ethereum, Solana.

They are used to pay fees, secure the network, and move value.

๐Ÿ“Œ A token is built on top of another blockchain.

Examples: USDT, UNI, LINK.

They depend on the main chain to exist and work.

๐Ÿ“Œ Coins are like the road.

Tokens are like the cars running on that road.

๐Ÿ“Œ Both are important, but they serve different purposes in crypto .
