🎯 Key Takeaways & Use Cases
✓A coin possesses its own standalone blockchain (e.g., SOL for Solana, BTC for Bitcoin).
✓It underpins network security, transaction validation, and on-chain operations.
✓Distinct from tokens, which are created on and secured by existing blockchains.
✓Coins are vital for protocol-level governance and utility.
💡 Real-World Examples

ETH (Ethereum): Ethereum’s native coin.

▸Holding coins like SOL typically grants you the ability to participate in network security (staking) and governance.
▸Monitor coin-related metrics for insight into the network’s health and usage.
