Cryptocurrency protocols leverage cryptography, open-source code, and decentralized computing architecture to achieve the first ever trustless, censorship-resistant, digitally scarce objects on the internet called tokens. Tokens are a technological primitive that enable social coordination, public goods funding, and peer-to-peer hyperstructures that automate away greedy corporate middlemen and eliminate maintenance costs. Whether being fungible (ERC20), non-fungible (NFTs/ERC721), or semi-fungible (ERC1155), tokens are to Web3 what websites are to the TCP/IP protocol we know as the internet.
