If you’ve ventured a little deeper into the metaphorical crypto woods, you’ve already heard of tokens. But what are they? Just like cryptocurrencies, they are a type of digital asset. In fact, all cryptocurrencies are technically also tokens. 🤯

Remember Bitcoin and Ether, the world’s biggest cryptocurrencies? They each run on their own blockchain: Bitcoin and Ethereum, respectively. Sometimes people use the term “token” to refer to a cryptocurrency that does not have its own native blockchain.

So what does a token do? Tokens can have different functions. They can hold value or be exchanged; they can represent digital or physical assets; or they can be utilized for a certain purpose or service.

Take KlimaDAO’s KLIMA token, for example. KLIMA tokens represent real-world carbon offsets. By removing these carbon offsets from the market and locking them in KlimaDAO’s treasury (in the form of these tokens), the organization effectively drives up the price of any carbon offsets remaining on the market (while also increasing the value of KLIMA tokens!). This incentivizes companies to transition to a carbon-neutral future more quickly and meaningfully. It's a win-win for people and the environment! 🌱

Now go forth and find a token YOU can get excited about! (And let us know which one it is!!!)
