Token
A unit of value or rights recorded on a blockchain, which can represent almost anything: a currency, a share of governance, access to a service, or ownership of a unique item. Tokens are the basic objects of Web3; they may be fungible (interchangeable) or non-fungible (unique) (see Tokenization).
