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 represent distinct entity
  • Soul-bound Tokens (SBTs) - like NFTs, but not-transferable, bound to a single owner
