In blockchain, digital assets are categorised into two main types—native assets and tokens. Native assets are built directly into the blockchain's core protocol and serve as the primary currency used for paying transaction fees, securing the network, etc. Examples include Bitcoin (BTC) on the Bitcoin blockchain and Ether (ETH) on Ethereum. Tokens are digital assets created using smart contracts on top of an existing blockchain, such as Ethereum, Binance Smart Chain, or Solana. Unlike native assets, tokens are not part of the blockchain’s core structure; instead, they are developed using predefined standards like ERC-20 (for fungible tokens) or ERC-721 (for non-fungible tokens). While tokens operate on top of a blockchain, their transactions typically require the platform’s native asset to cover fees.
