In this lesson
Learn the difference between a coin and a token, and why the same USDT exists on several networks.
Key takeaways
- A coin is a network's own money (ETH, TRX, SOL); it pays that network's fees.
- A token (like USDT or USDC) is built on top of a network and can exist on several networks.
- Common names: ERC-20 = Ethereum, TRC-20 = Tron, BEP-20 = BNB Chain.
- Address shapes hint at the network: 0x… (Ethereum / BNB Chain), T… (Tron).
