What’s the difference between a token and a coin?A coin is a digital asset (currency) that operates on its own blockchain.Coins can operate completely independently of other financial systems or platforms.
Examples of coins: Bitcoin, Ethereum, Litecoin, Cardano, BIP (Minter), Toncoin, Dogecoin.
A token is a virtual digital asset that is based on an existing blockchain platform. A token can be compared to a gift certificate: if you get a certificate for $500 for a purchase at Apple stores, you cannot buy goods at Samsung stores, much less go to a construction store and buy a screwdriver with this money.
Some of the most popular tokens include: USDT, USDC, Shiba, UNI, ApeCoin (APE), Axie Infinity (AXS).
So which is better?"Better" is a completely incorrect concept.Some projects do not need to bother, spend lots of time to create their own blockchain, and you can use an existing platform and create a token without too much effort, and on some blockchains it can be done literally in a few clicks.
