Blockchain tokens are digital assets that are created and managed on a blockchain like Ethereum. They can be thought of as units of value that are stored and transferred on a particular blockchain. Tokens can be used for a variety of purposes, such as representing assets or rights (like NFTs), enabling access to a network or service, or functioning as a medium of exchange.Tokens are created and managed through the use of smart contracts on the blockchain, which are self-executing contracts with the terms of the agreement between buyer and seller being directly written into the code itself. The tokens can be stored in a digital wallet, and their transfer and ownership can be tracked on the blockchain ledger.
