| Solana | SOL | Gas fees, staking |
| NEAR Protocol | NEAR | Gas, storage, staking |
| Bitcoin | BTC | Transactions, store of value |
| Avalanche | AVAX | Gas fees, staking |
| Polygon | POL | Gas fees, staking |
ERC-20 & Token Standards
Tokens built on top of blockchains:
- ERC-20 (Ethereum): USDC, USDT, LINK, UNI
- SPL (Solana): USDC, RAY, JUP
- NEP-141 (NEAR): Native NEAR tokens
- BEP-20 (BSC): Similar to ERC-20
Stablecoins
Tokens pegged to fiat currencies:
- USDC: USD Coin - widely used, audited
- USDT: Tether - largest by market cap
- DAI: Decentralized, crypto-collateralized
Wrapped Tokens
Representations of tokens on different chains:
- WETH: Wrapped ETH (ERC-20 version of ETH)
- WBTC: Bitcoin on Ethereum
- wNEAR: Wrapped NEAR for DeFi use
