I've heard of some companies offering tokens instead of coins, is this the same thing?
COin is he main coin with its network like eth while token is the coin created under the network like ten x pay is token, it is created in eth network or blockchain, Most ICOs use eth token , there are some use etc , and waves. Most ICos now use eth network because the developers may prefer eth to make smart contract deployed
Thanks for the knowledge you shared. Although I was involved in the crypto market, but for me this knowledge is very necessary. I will tell many of my friends to they understand the difference between coin and token
