What is a Token?

A token on the blockchain is often referred to as a coin. However, on the Enjin blockchain, a token is an asset that allows developers and users to create NFTs.

On the Enjin Blockchain, every token, regardless of its supply quantity, is considered an NFT. Whether a token is singular, with a supply of one, or multiple, with a supply exceeding one, each is classified as an NFT. This diverse range of supply quantities allows for the creation of both unique individual tokens and collections of tokens with shared characteristics within the Enjin ecosystem.
