Coins vs. Tokens

+

There are two basic types of cryptocurrencies, coins and tokens. Tokens exist as smart contracts on a parent network like Ethereum or Solana. Coins, on the other hand, have their own blockchain. Some blockchains use Proof-of-Work (e.g. Bitcoin) while others use Proof-of-Stake (e.g. Ethereum). Ethereum is a coin, Tether is a token (created via a smart contract) on Ethereum.

Pepecoin is a coin with its own blockchain. It uses Proof-of-Work just like Bitcoin. You can think of Pepecoin as "Bitcoin with a frog logo".
