2 min readFeb 20, 2023

Crypto tokens are digital assets that are used within a blockchain-based system. They serve a variety of uses, from acting as a medium of exchange to providing access to a particular service or product. This article will explore six of the most important use cases for crypto tokens and provide examples beyond medium of exchange. Good to learn as there will be numerous tokens available on the upcoming ENEDEX V.1!

1. Access Tokens

Crypto tokens can also be used to provide access to a particular service or platform. This type of token is often referred to as an access token. A great example of this is the Ethereum-based ERC-20 token, which is used to access the Ethereum blockchain-based ecosystem.

2. Utility Tokens

Utility tokens are tokens that provide utility to a product or service. For example, the Augur REP token is a utility token used to access the Augur prediction market platform.

3. Security Tokens

Security tokens are tokens that represent ownership of an asset, such as shares in a company. They are regulated by securities and exchange laws, which makes them a popular way for companies to raise capital. A great example of this is the security token offered by blockchain startup Blockstack, which is used to raise capital for the development of their products.

4. Non-Fungible Tokens

Non-fungible tokens (NFTs) are tokens that are not interchangeable with other tokens. They are used to represent digital assets, such as artwork or music. An example of an NFT is the Cryptopunk or Bored Ape token, which is used to represent collectible artworks on 2 bits of punk and a literal cartoonish picture of a monkey. Although most of them serve as utility token or access token as well, hence command a high value among collectors.

5. Stablecoins

Stablecoins are tokens that are designed to maintain a stable value. They are usually backed by an asset, such as a fiat currency, gold, or other commodities. A good example of this is DAI, which is a stablecoin backed by Ethereum.

6. Governance Tokens

Governance tokens are tokens that are used to provide voting rights for a particular platform or protocol. A great example of this is MakerDAO.
