Tokens

Tokens are digital units recorded on a blockchain that can represent utility (access/usage), governance rights, or economic claims, depending on design and legal characterization. In crypto fundraising and product design, Tokens may be sold, distributed, or earned, and whether Tokens are treated as securities depends on facts, marketing, and purchaser expectations.
