DEFINING TOKENS

Tokens are something different from the Cryptocurrency coins. People sometimes relate the token with the coins which is not genuinely correct. A token is itself a different identity. A token is something which works under the current block chains present in the crypto world. Its uses can be quite similar to the coins but it can’t be tagged as a crypto coin itself. These tokens are also referred as the Digital Assets. The main difference will be elaborated further. Tokens are relatively easily to set up and work along the present environment. Cryptocurrency tokens have many advantages which makes them susceptible to use in the current marketplaces. Many tokens are specially designed to run the decentralized apps (Dapps). Cryptocurrency tokens have many applications under the platform of Ethereum. Many major tokens are built under this blockchain.Different tokens are listed according to their block chains as follows:
TokenBlockchain platform
DIA, Aragon,The sandbox ChromiaEthereum
Chain link, Ox, PolkastarterPolkadot
Pancakeswap, Ankr, BakerytokenBinance Chain
Convex CRV, Oracle Top 5Asset Backed Coin

From my research according the provided data it is simulated that the Cryptocurrency tokens are relatively easy to handle and purchase and they also provide valuable assets to theconsumers.

DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A TOKEN AND COIN:




Source
It is obvious for a normal person who deals in Cryptocurrency that how one can differ a token from the coin. There are major differences which sometimes are ignored by the relative new users. Here is a brief account of the main differences:
Coins are defined by its protocol. It is based on a specific blockchain. It is a digital asset which cannot be tracked easily. There are no as such complex functions related to the coins except for storing and trading as a form of digital currency. They can be easily stored in a wallet and can be used according to the needs. Most popular examples of coins include Bitcoin, Ethereum etc.
As far as tokens are concerned, tokens are defined as a digital asset which built from the existing blockchains in the market. They can do specific functions such as selling virtual real estate, super computer platforms etc. They can also be stored and traded much like that of a crypto coin.

Non-Fungible Token (NFT)

NFTs are in self are very unique type of tokens which can’t be shared and copied easily. NFTs also represent an asset ownership rights. Owners can easily deal in the market using the NFTs.It is considered as a digital asset which is used to represent many real world assets like videos, music and art etc.

Features of NFTs

  • Easy to obtain profit
  • Can be liquefied easily]
  • NFTs create digital scarcity
  • Some NFTs are Theta, Axie Infinity, Chiliz and Ringers etc.

ARAGON (ANT) TOKEN

ARAGON (ANT) is an interdependent platform which is built on the Ethereum blockchain platform. By using the blockchain technology, ARAGON aims to decentralize the production and maintenance of different kinds of organizational structures. Creation of Decentralized Autonomous Organizations (DAO) on the Ethereum blockchain enables this token to be successful.
DAO software is working on the blockchain and allows its users to interact with a built-in mechanism for collectively managing its code. Aragon network software operates in three categories which are:

  • Aragon Client
  • Aragon Network
  • Aragon Association
    ANT provides a platform for the organizers to develop online organizations that support the participation of every investor linked with it. AN association tries to raise the funds which are generally available due to the sale of Aragon tokens respectively.

HOW ARAGON NETWORK WORKS

There are many features enabled by DAO which helps in the overall working of the ANT. First of all, Aragon OS is generally used which enables the investors to create a small contract framework.

Features of Aragon DAO include finance, tokens and voting. Here we are only focusing on the tokens category. ANT tokens enable us to purchase and holds a digital asset which is used for the maintenance, membership and structure controlling within DAO. Developers may also incorporate the Agent app into their DAO, allowing organizations to communicate directly with Ether consensus mechanism.

MAIN FEATURES OF THE TOKEN

ANT holder maintains a free level of governance. It can leverage the Ethereum Blockchain ANT is successful due to its decentralized court solution and an upgraded system.Capital system for issuing and controlling tokens.Self funding through aggregation network and transaction fees

FUNDAMENTAL OPERATION AND MODIFIABLE CAPABILITIES

One of the main advantages of using DAO system of ANT is that it provides its consumers to fix the code breaches and solve the disputes that arise in the Aragon framework. Modules are generally presented by the Aragon for the purpose of ownership, voting, payment and capital etc. Main compatibility of using DAO is that it offers administrative control to the investors. It is fully customizable by the general authorities.

CONCLUSION

In cryptocurrency world, tokens have their respective importance. We cannot deny the fact that the crypto tokens are as much important as the coins because of their speciality of building over the other block chains. Different categories of tokens have wide applications in their respective fields from utility to security tokens. NFT also plays its specific role. Aragon OS enables the investors ti decentralize the autonomous behavior of the disturbances in the operating system. DAO offers the control of the ANT token and breaches that could occur in the digital systems. Cryptocurrency has taken over the digital market and due to its enormous blockchain system; people can easily in coins as well as in the tokens. In this way, marginal profit can be obtained in a limited amount of time.
