Aww, good question. me also don't know about it but from this thread i learn it. Iam going to explain now. coin has his own blockchain but token has no own blockchain.Token uses Other coins blockchain platform like ethereum erc20

Tokens and coin are just the same, token is just a terminology that is being used by ico's in their projects and platform that is being released in the market.

coins are an alternative to Bitcoin. The majority of altcoins are a variant of Bitcoin, with coding changes to create new types of coins with different features. While tokens are a proprietary representation of assets, which generally use other existing blockchain technologies. It can be said that tokens are all forms of assets that can be traded. Shocked

People are sure can't read sticky notes in this forum, theymos already made a post about this one and stickied in Announcements (Altcoins) > Tokens (Altcoins)


"A cryptocurrency is self-sufficient, not relying on any other cryptocurrency to function (not including merged mining), and requiring its own software. A token works like a cryptocurrency at a high level, but relies on some other cryptocurrency's infrastructure in order to function, and often (but not necessarily always) lacks its own software.

Example 1
You create an Ethereum asset. This asset is entirely reliant on Ethereum's block chain to function. It is a token.

Example 2
You pick out 1 BTC and split it into 100 million satoshi. Each satoshi represents some part of a real-world thing, and gets a special ticker symbol. This is a token because it is completely reliant on Bitcoin's block chain to function.

Example 3
You create an Ethereum contract which allows anyone perpetually to trade 0.1 ETH for 1 YOURTHING and vice-versa. This is ambiguous, and may require moderator discretion. It may be considered a token, or it may be considered merely a flavor of ETH, belonging in Ethereum threads, etc."

The difference between the two is the coin has it's own blockchain to use and the token is using other blockchain to use in their project.

If I think the difference between coins and tokens, the token is not very much in popularity and tokens are also part of the Blokchain ecosystem, and if the coin has its own value to trade but it is better if it's from myself

Well i'm just want to thank this question because i really don't know the difference beetwen this two, token and coin. For my owned understanding token is the accumulated stakes coming from the bounties or program you received as a reward or payment. And after it will be exchange and now become a coin for you to convert your currency. It is just my opinion.

I don't have more knowledge about coin and token but I only know it is they more likely because it have value and it will entice investors to invest in each different digital money so for now I still get knowledge about it and tells it here if I have some of it. Just explore the knowledge about crypto.

A coin has its own Blockchain, and doesn't need other crypto's Blockchain, but token uses other Coin's Blockchain, most of the tokens using Ethereum Blockchain, it is very popular among them, as far as I know Ethereum and neo are most useful platforms for Icos, the only thing is that if/when the coin fall, the token that uses its Blockchain would fall too, coz they are attached together in some way.

The difference between a token and a coin is that a coin will be using its own blockchain and a token will be using somebody else's blockchain to transact. Ethereum has ERC-20 tokens, NEO has NEP-5 tokens many of these will migrate to their own chain when the project is more established. Look for mainnet launch in their roadmaps for a timeframe.

I think that token is the part of coin, coin have been got in our wallet and token have been found in bounty and airdrop compaign. The structure of token have been created some other blockchain coin.

Tokens are usually used for platforms as a utility token. It enables the network to function or make transactions. Examples are ETH and NEO. While a coin is a form of digital currency, best examples are Bitcoin, Litecoin and Monero.

 The main difference between altcoins and tokens is the structure; altcoin is a currency that uses its own blockchain platform, while tokens operate using other blockchains that can facilitate smart contracts.. the way the income is also different if you can buy altcoins at the crypto trading exchange or can mine it, while your token doesn't have to mine it, the developer only determines how much total supply, then the number of tokens remains.

This is something that people always mistake for the other. I'm glad that it has been brought up as a topic for discussion. I would simply say that while Tokens are assets that depend on another blockchain, Coins have their own blockchains of their own and are dependent on nothing but themselves. Tokens have to exist as themselves first before becoming coins and this can only happen when they have a blockchain of their own.

Tokens are running on another platform, like on top of the Ethereum blockchain for example. Coins have their own blockchain.

I think token and coin have no differentiation because they are almost the same as you look in the two of them but it depends to the interpretation of the business man in this business.

It is very easy to explain, but there are a lot of tokens that can come to coin one after another. This can be swapped for.

I sure that you have saw it - Token and Coin
I know Crypto have two kind of: Bitcoin and Altcoin
Please tell me what is different between and Token and Coin  Grin

Coin are cryptocurrencies created with a blockchain and an ecosystem that runs independently, such as Bitcoin ethereum, ripple etc. A token on the other hand is a smart contract created on an existing blockchain. Most tokens are created in the ethereum blockchain. Tokens are easier to create, since all the codes are already in existence on the blockchain.

Token and Coins are almost the same but it depends on how the company will interpret it
because the token is used as a incentive or free from their loyal investors to provide additional income.
