Token overview

This article compares different kinds of Tokens in TON.

The TON blockchain supports three distinct categories of digital tokens, each designed to serve different purposes within the ecosystem.

• Fungible tokens (Jettons) - this is a web3 way to create new currency on your own
• Non-Fungible Tokens (NFTs) - like Jettons, but each token is unique and represents a distinct entity
• Soul-bound Tokens (SBTs) - like NFTs, but not-transferable, bound to a single owner
