# Coin and Token Use Cases A coin is a native currency of a network such as BTC of Bitcoin and ETH of Ethereum. While tokens are cryptocurrencies minted on a blockchain such as ERC20 tokens on Ethereum. The utility of the coin/token should be perfect. A coin becomes valuable if there's a ton of usage on the network or transactions using the token. * **Store of Value** or **Digital Gold** - There are coins or tokens that don't have supply inflation. BTC is the best example with 21,000,000 in total supply forever. * **Network Coins** or **Gas Fees** - coins users use to pay the network to process transactions on the blockchain.\ \ Examples:\ \- BTC on Bitcoin\ \- ETH on Ethereum\ \- MATIC on Polygon * **Stable Coins** - tethered with a fiat currency such as USDT, USDC, and BUSD. * **Exchange Tokens** - a token that will give you discounts when you use it to pay for trades on crypto exchanges.\ \ Examples:\ \- BNB on Binance\ \- FTT on FTX * **Governance Tokens** - can be used by the community to create and vote on project proposals such us AAVE and UNI. * **Membership Tokens** - tokens that give users incentives such as Travala's AVA and StormX's STMX.
