What is a token

A token is a cryptographic programmable digital unit that is recorded on a distributed ledger protocol (blockchain) and represents a certain value. A cryptocurrency, such as Bitcoin or Ether (ETH), is a native coin that uses its own platform, while most tokens are issued on existing platforms. The Ethereum platform uses ERC-20 standard tokens.
