Crypto Classroom: Episode 2 - What is a token?

Welcome to "Crypto Classroom" by Bleeding Edge Capital, where we unravel the intricacies of cryptocurrency technology. In this episode, our founders explore the fundamental question: "What is a token?"

Decentralized Applications ("DAPPS")

Tokens play a vital role in the world of cryptocurrencies. To understand tokens, it's essential to grasp the concept of blockchain technology. Blockchain networks, such as Ethereum, enable the creation of decentralized applications (DApps) and smart contracts. Tokens are digital assets built on these blockchain platforms, representing various utilities, assets, or rights.

Utility vs. Security Tokens

Tokens can be broadly categorized into two types: utility tokens and security tokens. Utility tokens serve a specific purpose within a decentralized application, granting access to services or functionalities. On the other hand, security tokens represent ownership in an underlying asset or company and may offer rights like dividends or voting power.

Applications of Tokens

Tokenization has revolutionized traditional finance, enabling the digitization and fractional ownership of assets like real estate, art, and even intellectual property. This process allows for increased liquidity, transparency, and accessibility.

Token Standards

During this episode, our founders delve into the intricacies of token economics, token standards (such as ERC-20, ERC-721), and the broader implications of tokenization in various industries.
