Wrapped Token

A detailed doc explaining a crypto project’s vision, tech, and tokenomics. It’s your first step before aping in (or walking away).

A token used for accessing services or products in a project’s ecosystem, like paying fees, unlocking features, or voting on changes.

The governance token of Uniswap. Holding UNI gives you voting rights over protocol changes, treasury decisions, and how the platform evolves.

The number of tokens that currently exist, whether they’re circulating or locked up. Different from circulating supply, which is what’s out in the wild.

The economic design of a token, from how it’s supplied, distributed, used, and incentivized. Strong tokenomics can make a project sustainable.

Intentionally destroying tokens to reduce supply, usually to boost scarcity (and hopefully price).

A digital asset that lives on an existing blockchain. Unlike a coin (like ETH), a token doesn’t have its own chain, it rides someone else’s rails.

The minimum a project hopes to raise during its funding round. If it doesn’t hit this, it might not launch. If it does, game on.

The main token of a blockchain, like ETH for Ethereum or SOL for Solana. It’s used to pay fees, secure the network, or access platform features.

The native token of the Chainlink network. LINK is used to pay node operators for delivering data to smart contracts, and it's also staked to help secure the network.

The absolute max amount a project plans to raise in a token sale. Once it’s hit, no more tokens are sold. Period.

Tokens that give holders a say in project decisions, like voting on upgrades or treasury spending. Think shareholder rights, but decentralized.

Technical guidelines for how tokens work on Ethereum. If you're launching a token, it needs to follow one of these standards.

The way decisions are made inside a DAO, usually by token holders voting on proposals. It’s democracy, crypto-style (and sometimes chaos).
