This time I want to make a homework post that will answer the questions of professor @pelon53 from Steemit Crypto Academy, as the question is to answer 3 questions that are given about the Token.

[1.1] What Is Security Token?

The security token is a token that is launched on a blockchain system whose price is based on a security asset such as stocks, bonds, gold, etc, and is directly monitored by the local government regulatory agency. Security tokens are said to be the future of stocks, because in the past if we bought shares we had to buy per share, whereas now we only need to buy tokens that have been provided.

By buying a security token from a company, we already have ownership rights to the company, by taking advantage of sophisticated blockchain technology, securities tokens are able to overcome problems when buying and selling stock assets which are always constrained by the speed and ease of transactions.

[1.2] Example Of Security Token: Siacoin

The Siacoin token is a token issued by a cloud storage platform that has a peer-to-peer payment system and all stored data is encrypted and of course, it uses a decentralized blockchain system.

The thing that makes Siacoin very famous is that the storage fees offered are very cheap, this is because Siacoin already uses a blockchain system for all transactions that occur in this project, so as to cut storage costs on the cloud.

[2.1] What Is Utility Token?

Utility Token is a token issued/created which aims to supply funds from a cryptocurrency project. However, utility tokens can also be used as a tool to purchase goods and services provided by the developer of the utility token.

Initially, this utility token was issued when the Initial Coin Offering (ICO) took place, when an investor agreed to invest in a cryptocurrency project, he would issue a sum of money which would later be exchanged for the output token of the project, the token is called the Utility Token.

However, what needs to be underlined is that even if someone has invested in a cryptocurrency project and has received a utility token, the investor has no right to interfere in the company's project affairs, he can only use the token to make a profit if the token from the project he is investing in has increased price.

[2.2] Example Of Utility Token: Ripple (XRP)

XRP or Ripple is a very popular token today, almost everyone who understands cryptocurrency will recognize the XRP token. XRP is a token issued by Ripple Labs in 2012 that runs on its own blockchain, the Ripple Blockchain.

The purpose of making XRP is as a transaction tool that can use the Ripple Blockchain system which has a high transaction speed and low transaction fees. Currently, XRP has been widely used by financial institutions that partner with the Ripple Blockchain. With the various features provided to XRP, it's no wonder this token has a very high market volume every day.

[3.1] What Is Equity Token?

Equity Token is a token that is created to provide an opportunity for investors to own a portion of the share ownership of the blockchain where the company's project is carried out and investors are also given voting rights over the blockchain. Equity tokens provide a new experience for investors where if we look at previous times to buy conventional shares we have to buy shares of the company, whereas in this equity token investors will be given tokens as a benchmark that they already have ownership of the blockchain project.

Equity Token provides a sense of security to investors, those who are directly involved in the Blockchain project will be given a prize, namely a token that can be traded or exchanged between investors, this prize is paid depending on the blockchain's performance in the market.

[3.2] Example Of Equity Token: Maker (MKR)

Maker is a token created by the MakerDAO platform. This token is a stablecoin whose price is as close as possible to the fiat US dollar, so the ratio of Maker's token to US dollar is 1:1. The purpose of making Maker is to stabilize another MakerDAO-made coin, namely DAI which has high fluctuation, with the Maker token will support the value of DAI so that it does not experience high fluctuation anymore.
