Utility Tokens and Social Tokens

Henri Arslanian ()

Chapter Chapter 11 in The Book of Crypto, 2022, pp 233-240 from Springer

Abstract: Abstract If you’ve spent any time around the crypto ecosystem over the last several years, you’ve undoubtedly heard the terms “utility token” and “social token”. But what do these terms actually mean? In this chapter, we provide a broad overview of utility tokens, explaining in detail how utility tokens are used on popular blockchains like Ethereum, Solana, and Avalanche before examining how both the networks that launch such tokens and the token holders themselves benefit from this practice. The chapter concludes with a quick look at the unfolding world of social tokens, a phenomenon that allows online content creators, artists, musicians, and others a new opportunity to build fan engagement and exert greater ownership and creative control over their work.
