# Types of cryptocurrency

## Overview of cryptocurrency categories 🔍

* * *

- Different types of cryptocurrency offer different functionality based on their unique use case.

- Cryptocurrencies offer a way to transact in a more peer-to-peer and decentralized way compared to traditional solutions.

- Most cryptocurrencies can be placed into one of five categories. Each category can also have numerous sectors within it.


Today’s cryptocurrency market consists of tens of thousands of unique projects. Nearly all of these projects boast their own distinct functionalities and technologies.

From currencies outside of government control, to metaverse tokens powering digital worlds and uniquely-themed memecoins developing vibrant online communities, the crypto industry continues to deliver new possibilities.

But, the vast amount of ways to apply [blockchain technology](/tr-tr/learn/what-is-blockchain-technology) can make it challenging to develop a clear understanding of the space.

Many cryptocurrencies are created for purposes far beyond our traditional understanding of "currency." Instead, they are created to help build an incentive structure for decentralized platforms to operate.

While this can sound abstract, it is important to understand that [cryptocurrencies](/tr-tr/learn/what-is-cryptocurrency) play an important role in how these blockchain powered system operate in a peer-to-peer way.

With a clearer understanding of the different sectors that make up the blockchain ecosystem, you can start to make more informed decisions as you enter the Web3 space.

Let's take a look at the various types of cryptocurrencies this growing space has to offer.

How can cryptocurrencies be categorized? 🤔

* * *

All cryptocurrencies can generally be categorized within one of the following five categories.

Click the links below for more information on each:

- **[Payment](/tr-tr/learn/types-of-cryptocurrency#payment)** – allow people to transact and store value
- **[Infrastructure](/tr-tr/learn/types-of-cryptocurrency#infrastructure)** – help to scale blockchain networks
- **[Financial](/tr-tr/learn/types-of-cryptocurrency#financial)** – increase access to financial services
- **[Service](/tr-tr/learn/types-of-cryptocurrency#service)** – grant ability to manage and share blockchain data
- **[Media and Entertainment](/tr-tr/learn/types-of-cryptocurrency#mediaentertainment)** – power NFTs and Web3 gaming

Crypto research firm [Messari](https://messari.io/report/messari-classifications) pioneered this crypto classification structure, which organizes cryptocurrencies based in the different sectors of the crypto economy.

Just as the traditional economy is divided into categories like healthcare, manufacturing, and transportation, so too is the emerging Web3 economy.

Understanding a cryptocurrency's category provides a helpful starting point for understanding what a cryptocurrency does and how it can be used.

## A primer on cryptocurrency 🌍

* * *

As the first truly decentralized and widely adopted cryptocurrency, [Bitcoin](/tr-tr/prices/bitcoin) served as the foundation for the crypto industry.

The [Bitcoin white paper](/tr-tr/learn/what-is-bitcoin-white-paper), written by the pseudonymous author(s) [Satoshi Nakamoto](/tr-tr/learn/who-is-satoshi-nakamoto), laid out the vision of a “peer-to-peer electronic cash system.”

In the years that followed, there were many attempts at copying the success of Bitcoin for this purpose. While most failed to reach the same level of adoption, other cryptocurrencies set off on a different mission from the start.

Rather than building a peer-to-peer electronic **cash** system, other cryptocurrency projects now function as decentralized, peer-to-peer **information sharing** systems.

Although the ability to transfer value remains an important part of that information system, these systems enable a wider range of possibilities. Today, many different cryptocurrencies help to offset the reliance we have on centralized companies (like tech or banking businesses) with greater accessibility, transparency, and efficiency.

Powered by [smart contracts](/tr-tr/learn/what-are-smart-contracts), decentralized applications can operate autonomously while ensuring a reliable source of truth — all without reliance on a central authority.

This shift is fundamentally altering our understanding of how society can function.

By using auditable code rather than placing trust in fallible intermediaries, cryptocurrencies can deliver a more transparent and reliable way of sharing information.

To learn more about the various decentralized applications (dApps) delivering this functionality, check out our article [What is a decentralized application (dApp)?](/tr-tr/learn/what-is-a-decentralized-application-dapp)

Ultimately, different cryptocurrencies serve different roles within the Web3 economy.

Understanding what they do, how they work and what purpose they serve can be helpful as you start your crypto journey.

## Payment cryptocurrencies 🪙

* * *

Payment cryptocurrencies offer a way to store and transact value using a distributed network of computers rather than a centralized government.

Some payment cryptocurrencies aim to offset our reliance on government issued currencies, while others focus on creating efficiencies (making faster, cheaper, more secure transactions) compared to traditional methods.

Cryptocurrency networks aiming to disrupt the traditional payments industry do not typically have many of the more specialized features seen in other cryptocurrency projects. Instead, these assets are solely focused on providing an infrastructure to define, transfer, record, and secure financial transactions between individuals.

Some might consider [bitcoin (BTC)](/tr-tr/prices/bitcoin), the original cryptocurrency, as an example of a payment cryptocurrency. After all, its creator [Satoshi Nakamoto](/tr-tr/learn/who-is-satoshi-nakamoto) designed it as an alternative to the traditional financial system and described it as a "peer-to-peer electronic cash system" in the [Bitcoin white paper](/tr-tr/learn/what-is-bitcoin-white-paper).

The majority of other payment cryptocurrencies available seek to improve upon Bitcoin in various ways, from scalability to speed.

The four most common sectors in the payments cryptocurrency category include:

1. Stores of value

2. Memecoins

3. Stablecoins

4. Privacy coins


### Store of value 🏔️

Store of value (SoV) cryptocurrencies are primarily seen as assets that may hold value over time relative to fiat currencies.

Generally speaking, cryptocurrencies offer several advantages over traditional store-of-value assets such as land or precious metals.

One key perk is their accessibility and portability, making them incredibly convenient for holders to transfer.

Moreover, safeguarding cryptocurrencies typically incurs substantially lower storage and maintenance costs compared to physical SoV assets.

Additionally, the limited maximum supplies of certain crypto assets like Bitcoin may also help to boost their appeal as potential stores of value.

While it’s impossible to know the true maximum supply of gold, Bitcoin’s hard supply limit of 21 million coins is easy to verify thanks to its transparent, computer-coded rules.

To learn more about the scaricty of Bitcoin, check out our article [How many bitcoin are there? Bitcoin supply explained](/tr-tr/learn/how-many-bitcoin-are-there-bitcoin-supply-explained).

**Popular examples of store of value coins include:**

- [Bitcoin (BTC)](/tr-tr/prices/bitcoin) -  a peer-to-peer electronic cash system that allows online payments to be sent directly from one party to another without going through a financial institution.
- [Bitcoin Cash (BCH)](/tr-tr/prices/bitcoin-cash) - a fork of the Bitcoin blockchain that allows for larger blocks of transaction data to increase transaction throughout, reduce fees and enable microtransactions.
- [Litecoin (LTC)](/tr-tr/prices/litecoin) \- a coin that allows for faster transaction confirmations and improved storage efficiency compared to Bitcoin — the cryptocurrency that inspired its creation.

All of these coins, any many others, have a fixed and clearly defined maximum supply — which make them an attractive store of value for those concerned about inflation or the scarcity of their assets.

### Memecoin 😜

Memecoins represent a vibrant cryptocurrency sector centered around viral internet memes and pop culture references.

They primarily serve as digital payment tokens, with some leading examples boasting millions of dedicated followers, including A-list celebrities.

Unlike other cryptocurrencies, developers often create memecoins solely as light-hearted social experiments with limited utility.

Many see memecoins as a refreshing departure from the seriousness that often surrounds traditional cryptocurrencies.

Coins such as [Dogecoin (DOGE)](/tr-tr/prices/dogecoin) and [Pepe (PEPE)](/tr-tr/prices/pepe) are some of the most notable examples of memecoins, but thousands of memecoins exist across multiple blockchain networks.

While these coins primarily exist for purely speculative purposes, they are also commonly used to tip creators on the internet and build communities across social channels.

## Stablecoins ⚖️

[Stablecoins](/tr-tr/learn/what-are-stablecoins) typically mirror the price of fiat currencies (like the U.S. dollar or the Euro).

Stablecoins can offer the efficiency and transparency benefits of cryptocurrency while providing price exposure to more established forms of value.

Thanks to their accessibility and efficiency, stablecoins are often used in cross-border remitance payments.

They are also commonly used by traders looking to convert their crypto holdings to a stable asset during periods of price volatility, without need to convert their assets back to cash.

The three primary types of stablecoins include:

1. Fiat-backed
2. Overcollateralized
3. Algorithmic

#### Fiat-collateralized stablecoins 💰

Fiat-backed stablecoins aim to maintain a 1:1 value peg with their underlying currency, such as USD or EUR.

This necessitates that each stablecoin issuer should hold at least an equal amount of cash and/or cash equivalents (like US government bonds) in reserve to back each unit of the stablecoin in circulation. However, many issuers have historically failed to uphold this requirement.

It is ultimately the responsibility of the stablecoin issuer to back the value of each minted token with sufficient reserves.

Users can mint new stablecoins by depositing their corresponding value and redeem tokens for the underlying reserve assets.

**Popular examples of fiat-collateralized stablecoins include:**

- [Tether (USDT)](/tr-tr/prices/tether) \- the largest stablecoin by market cap today which tracks the value of the U.S. dollar.
- [USD Coin (USDC)](/tr-tr/prices/usdc) - a stablecoin that aims to maintain a 1:1 with the U.S. dollar for secure and fast digital transactions.
- [Tether Euro (EURT)](/tr-tr/prices/tether-euro) \- a stablecoin that aims to mirror the price of the Euro by holding collateral reserves on a 1:1 basis equal to the amount of EURT in circulation.

#### Crypto-collateralized stablecoins 📀

Crypto-collateralized stablecoins are backed by other cryptocurrencies locked in smart contracts.

These types of stablecoins often involve overcollateralization, requiring users to deposit cryptocurrency exceeding the value of the stablecoins they receive. This is done in an attempt to secure the peg during volatile crypto market fluctuation, but this is not always effective

To redeem the locked cryptocurrency, users have to return the stablecoins to the smart contract, plus a small fee.

**Popular examples of crypto-collateralized stablecoins include:**

- [MakerDAO’s DAI](/tr-tr/prices/dai) \- a stablecoin backed by an amount of crypto worth approximately three times more than the amount of [DAI](/tr-tr/learn/what-is-dai) in circulation, according to [Dai Stats](https://daistats.com/#/).
- [Liquity’s LUSD](/tr-tr/prices/liquity-usd) - a crypto-collateralized stablecoin that is solely backed by ETH.

#### Algorithmic stablecoins 🤖

Algorithmic stablecoins use predefined rules that aim to maintain a value peg to other assets. Because of this, stablecoins don’t rely on any collateral to back their value.

Instead, algorithmic stablecoins use smart contract code to adjust the supply of the stablecoin based on market demand.

Through these supply and demand dynamics, traders are incentivized to help the algo stablecoin’s price stability through [arbitrage](/tr-tr/learn/trading/crypto-arbitrage) price opportunities.

While there have been many attempts to create algorithmic stablecoins, their price stability hasn’t always been reliable.

For example, Terra’s UST, which amassed a market cap of nearly $20 billion, suffered an implosion due to faulty mechanics in UST’s stabilization mechanism. Nevertheless, there are projects using different algorithms that address the various risks of algorithmic stablecoins.

Algo-stablecoin's method of adjusting the supply to follow market demand is similar to how government-issued currencies operate today. But rather than placing trust in a central bank, users can verify the rules of the algorithmic stablecoin themselves.

It’s important to note, stablecoins possess a number of inherent risks, namely issuer, counterparty and operational risks.

The assets collateralizing the token may be held by financial institutions or other third parties which could become insolvent or face other failures which could result in a loss of the collateral associated with the token.

Further, algorithmic stablecoins could suffer a failure, bug, exploit or other issue which may cause the algorithm to fail.

### Privacy 🥷

Privacy coins are designed to improve transaction anonymity by obscuring certain details about the sender, receiver, and amount spent.

Privacy coins typically employ specialized mechanisms to enhance the security of transactions, making tracking them significantly challenging. This has led to the development of several privacy-oriented blockchains which allow users to transact anonymously.

While each coin has its own methods, they all aim to obscure the flow of value, offering a level of privacy exceeding traditional cryptocurrencies.

**Popular examples of privacy coins include:**

- [Monero (XMR)](/tr-tr/prices/monero) \- a coin that enables private transactions on its blockchain by preserving user anonymity using a technique called ring signatures
- [Zcash (ZEC)](/tr-tr/prices/zcash) - privacy-focused Bitcoin fork that make transactions completely anonymous by implementing the Zerocash protocol to enable a “shielded” ledger option

## Infrastructure cryptocurrencies 🏗️

* * *

Infrastructure cryptocurrencies refer to the tokens of crypto projects primarily focused on improving the underlying technology that other cryptocurrencies use to operate.

Infrastructure tokens are most often associated with blockchain networks that provide developers with smart contract functionality — code that allows blockchain developers to create self-executing agreements that serve as the basis for different applications.

Infrastructure projects include those focused on providing a base layer for application development as well as those looking to improve blockchain efficiency via secondary scaling solutions — also known as Layer 2 solutions.

For example, the crypto asset that powers the Ethereum blockchain, called [Ether (ETH)](/tr-tr/prices/ethereum), may be considered an infrastructure cryptocurrency, as it plays a fundamental role in the creation and use of decentralized applications (dApps) built on top of Ethereum.

The three most common sectors in the infrastructure cryptocurrency category include:

1. Application development
2. Scaling
3. Communication

### Application development 📱

When the solidity programming language was launched on [the Ethereum blockchain](/tr-tr/learn/what-is-ethereum-eth), it gave anyone the ability to build their own smart contract-based application on the Ethereum blockchain.

Smart contracts power many [Web3](/tr-tr/learn/what-is-web3) applications across a growing number of blockchains thanks to their customization and interoperability.

The widespread adoption of decentralized finance (DeFi) highlights this trend, and new use cases, like decentralized physical infrastructure (DePIN), are gaining traction.

Building these blockchain-based applications requires developers to pay miners and validators for "blockspace".

This is where native cryptocurrencies come in that are used to facilitate transactions and support network growth.

Popular examples of cryptocurrencies associated with application development include:

- [Ether (ETH)](/tr-tr/prices/ethereum) - a global, open-source platform for financial services, games and apps that is trustless, decentralized and secure.
- [Solana (SOL)](/tr-tr/prices/solana) - a blockchain platform that aims to increase user scalability through faster transaction settlement times and a flexible infrastructure.
- [Avalanche (AVAX)](/tr-tr/prices/avalanche) \- a high-speed, low-latency Layer 1 blockchain for decentralized applications (dApps) and custom blockchain networks.

### Scaling 📐

Initially, applications built on Ethereum and blockchains like it depended entirely on the main network for all transaction processing and data storage.

While this approach is highly secure, the blockchain’s throughput (the number of transactions per second it is able to process) is relatively low.

This can lead to excessive [gas fees](/tr-tr/learn/what-is-a-blockchain-gas-fee) and network slowdowns during periods of high activity, making it unusable for many.

As blockchain adoption grows, it is important for these networks to scale, and higher transaction capacity and lower costs are essential.

Over time, many scaling solutions have been developed in an effort to increase blockchain throughput capacity while driving down transaction fees.

Projects are employing various technologies to achieve this, including:

- **Optimistic rollup** – Bundle transactions for more efficient processing on top of layer 1 (L1) platforms like Ethereum. This 'optimistic' approach assumes transactions are valid by default. On-chain processing only happens if the validity of transactions are challenged.

  - An example of this is [Optimism (OP)](/tr-tr/prices/optimism), which uses optimistic rollups to decrease the time and cost of transactions on the Ethereum blockchain.
- **Zk-rollup** – Similar to optimistic rollups, ZK-Rollups aim to improve speed and reduce costs on top of L1s. However, they use a technique called zero-knowledge proofs to instantly validate transactions and data, offering an additional layer of security.

  - An example of this is [Polygon (MATIC)](/tr-tr/prices/polygon), which offers services that helps to provide cheaper and faster transactions and more streamlined developer experience.
- **Data availability service** – As crypto adoption continues to grow, blockchains tend to be overloaded with data. Data Availability (DA) layers take some of this strain away, preventing blockchains from getting bogged down (known as “state bloat”).

  - An example of this is [Near Protocol (NEAR)](/tr-tr/prices/near-protocol), which is a Web3 development protocol that allows developers to create and launch their own decentralized applications.

### Communication 📞

As Web3 continues to develop, robust communication infrastructure becomes vital.

This includes connecting blockchains with ‘real-world’ data, as well as efficient communication between Layer 1 and Layer 2 networks.

#### Oracles 🤖

Oracles help bring real-world data to the blockchain in an effort to expand the utility of decentralized applications and services.

To truly scale Web3, bringing real-world data (like financial data and social media feeds) to the blockchain becomes crucial, and oracles serve as the perfect data translator for dApps.

For example, oracles are vital in DeFi as they constantly feed real-time crypto prices from centralized exchanges like Kraken into decentralized exchanges (DEXs) like [dYdX](/tr-tr/prices/dydx) and [Uniswap](/tr-tr/prices/uniswap).

**Examples of blockchain oracles include:**

- [Chainlink (LINK)](/tr-tr/prices/chainlink) \- a popular oracle that enable blockchains to communicate with each other as well as external “real-world” data sources.
- [Pyth (PYTH)](/tr-tr/prices/pyth-network) \- an oracle delivers real-time market data to financial dApps across dozens of blockchain networks

To learn more about oracles and the important role they play within the crypto ecosystem, check out our article [What are blockchain oracles?](/tr-tr/learn/blockchain-oracles)

## Cross-chain messaging 💬

Web3's growth isn't just about applications – the number of blockchains themselves is rapidly expanding.

Developers are building custom blockchains referred to as “appchains" in order to optimize their platform’s performance. Additionally, many scaling solutions act as blockchains, like [Arbitrum (ARB)](/tr-tr/prices/arbitrum), [Optimism (OP)](/tr-tr/prices/optimism), and [Celestia (TIA)](/tr-tr/prices/celestia).

As more and more sophisticated blockchain networks emerge, communication between them becomes increasingly important and complex. Cross-chain messaging, like bridges, allow assets and data to move between blockchains and simplify the sharing of information across networks.

**Examples of cross-chain infrastructure tokens include:**

- [Axelar (AXL)](/tr-tr/prices/axelar) \- protocol that allows developers to connect decentralized applications (dApps) that exist on different blockchains.
- [Celer (CELR)](/tr-tr/prices/celer-network) - blockchain protocol focused on cross-chain interoperability and access to DeFi, GameFi, NFTs and other blockchain services
- [LayerZero (ZRO)](/tr-tr/prices/layerzero) \- a interoperability protocol that empowers blockchain developers to build omnichain decentralized applications (dApps).

By monitoring multiple blockchains in real time, these platforms help make reliable communication across chains possible.

## Financial cryptocurrencies 🏦

* * *

Financial cryptocurrencies offer tools for managing and exchanging assets within the crypto ecosystem.

Financial cryptocurrencies offer tools for managing and exchanging assets within the crypto ecosystem.

These specific tokens can be further subcategorized under decentralized finance (DeFi) protocols, with the aim to deliver the same functionality of traditional finance in a more transparent and accessible way.

For example, any cryptocurrency natively linked to a centralized or decentralized exchange may be considered as a financial cryptocurrency. These may provide holders with lower trading fees when using the platform.

They may also serve as [governance tokens](/tr-tr/learn/what-is-a-governance-token) which grant voting powers to holders over how the platform should operate.

The three most common sectors in the financial cryptocurrency category include:

1. Financial markets
2. Asset management
3. Structured/exotic products

## Crypto financial markets 🪢

Crypto financial markets aim to bring traditional financial services – including exchanges, money markets (like lending and borrowing), and cross-chain transfers – directly to the blockchain ecosystem.

## Decentralized exchanges (DEX) 🤝

DEXs are used for the exchange of cryptocurrencies, including spot and derivative (like perpetual futures and options) trading.

[Uniswap (UNI)](/tr-tr/prices/uniswap) and [Jupiter (JUP)](/tr-tr/prices/jupiter) are the leading spot trading platforms in DeFi.

Instead of a traditional order book, they use [liquidity pools](/tr-tr/learn/crypto-liquidity-pool) that allow traders to swap assets without relying on a centrally-managed orderbook. [Curve (CRV)](/tr-tr/prices/curve-dao) also focuses on spot trading, but with an emphasis on exchanging assets with similar prices (like USD stablecoins) while minimizing slippage.

Spot trading platforms aim to incentivize liquidity providers by rewarding them a share of the trading fees, enabling a decentralized and reliable trading environment.

Beyond spot markets, some decentralized exchanges offer sophisticated [crypto derivatives](/tr-tr/learn/trading/crypto-derivatives) trading.

For example, platforms like [dYdX (DYDX)](/tr-tr/prices/dydx), [Woo (WOO)](/tr-tr/prices/woo-network), and [GMX (GMX)](/tr-tr/prices/gmx) allow traders to use [perpetual futures contracts](/tr-tr/learn/trading/futures-trading), which traders can roll over in perpetuity.

## Decentralized money markets 📑

Decentralized money markets allow individuals to lend their crypto assets and earn rewards, or borrow against them – all without the need for centralized intermediaries.

Anyone with an internet connection and smart device can technically use DeFi protocols, meaning even unbanked citizens in developing countries have an opportunity to access crypto-based financial services.

**Examples of decentralized money markets include:**

- [Aave (AAVE)](/tr-tr/prices/aave) - a decentralized non-custodial liquidity protocol where users can participate as depositors or borrowers.
- [Compound (COMP)](/tr-tr/prices/compound) \- a money market platform which algorithmically derive interest rates based on the supply and demand of different cryptocurrencies.

## Bridges 🌉

Bridges allow individuals to transfer assets across different blockchains and to access layer 2 networks. They achieve this using various methods, including cross-chain messaging, or by holding reserves of the same asset on multiple chains.

For example, a bridge connecting Ethereum, Arbitrum, Optimism, and Avalanche will likely hold a certain amount of USDC (among other assets) on each one of those blockchains.

If someone transfers 100 USDC from Ethereum to Arbitrum, the bridge would burn 100 USDC on Ethereum and mint 100 USDC on Arbitrum, effectively moving value across chains.

While traditional finance lacks a direct equivalent, fintech apps offer a similar ease of use. Just as these apps let you move funds between different platforms, DeFi bridges connect blockchain ecosystems.

**Examples of popular DeFi focused bridges include:**

[Stargate Finance (STG)](/tr-tr/prices/stargate-finance) \- a composable liquidity transport protocol that allows users to transfer assets cross blockchains

[Synapse (SYN)](/tr-tr/prices/synapse) \- a protocol that facilitates interoperability between blockchains with its asset bridge, token swap, liquidity pools and staking opportunities

### Asset management 🏡

In the traditional finance world, an asset manager is someone who typically invests capital for institutions or high net worth investors.

DeFi breaks down these barriers, democratizing access to sophisticated investment strategies. Thanks to smart contracts, decentralized asset management platforms enable anyone to optimize their holdings.

The two core subcategories of DeFi asset management include service aggregators and SocialFi.

#### Service aggregators 🌍

As the selection of DeFi services grows in numbers and complexity, it can be difficult for traders to know how to most efficiently use their funds.

Service aggregators simplify this landscape, allowing traders to make informed decisions and optimize their strategies across multiple platforms. These all-in-one hubs simplify trading and yield opportunities, saving users time while potentially maximizing returns.

**Two popular types of service aggregators are:**

- **DEX aggregators** – These scan multiple DEXs to find the most efficient trade execution (for spot, futures, etc.)

  - An example of decentralized exchange aggregator is [1INCH](/tr-tr/prices/1inch), which helps traders find the best exchange rates for a given assets across multiple DEXs by aggregating token prices and finding the most cost efficient swapping routes.
- **Yield aggregators** – Instead of manually hunting for the highest yields, these platforms automatically move assets between different lending protocols to maximize returns.

  - An example of yield aggregator is [Yearn Finance](/tr-tr/prices/yearn.finance), which automatically lends assets at the highest lending rate possible across a number of other platforms.

With that said, DeFi applications like these aren’t without their own unique set of risks. For more information, check out our guide [How to stay safe in DeFi](/tr-tr/learn/how-to-stay-safe-in-defi).

### Structured/exotic products 🦾

DeFi has helped expand financial services and opened doors to innovative products beyond traditional markets, including liquid staking and RWAs.

## Liquid staking 💧

A drawback to [crypto staking](/tr-tr/learn/what-is-crypto-staking) is that staked funds are locked and cannot be used for other purposes. For example, an individual could not use their staked assets as collateral for a loan.

Liquid staking enables anyone to earn staking rewards while simultaneously unlocking the value of their staked assets thanks to "liquid staking tokens" representing their stake. These tokens can then be used like the underlying asset across DeFi platforms (like lending, borrowing, and trading).

A popular example of a liquid staking service is [Lido Finance (LDO)](/tr-tr/prices/lido-dao-token). Anyone can deposit their ETH into the Lido protocol, and Lido will stake it while issuing [stETH](/tr-tr/prices/steth-(lido)) in return. stETH can then be used like regular ETH until the user is ready to redeem their initial stake.

Check out our article [What is liquid staking?](/tr-tr/learn/what-is-liquid-staking) to learn more.

## Real world assets (RWAs) 📋

The term “RWA” refers to real and financial assets that are tokenized and made compatible to be traded and transferred on a blockchain.

While DeFi has been largely a movement driven by individuals rather than financial institutions, banks, hedge funds, and other financial service providers have increasingly shown interest in asset tokenization.

These projects are exploring how the transparency and reliability of blockchains can make their operations faster, cheaper, and generally more efficient.

The budding ecosystem of RWA projects is focused on bringing the benefits of blockchain to institutions and traditional market participants in general by tokenizing, or creating digital equivalents of, the assets that they’re accustomed to dealing with (like health records, real estate contracts, and financial agreements).

Several blockchain platforms like [Avalanche (AVAX)](/tr-tr/prices/avalanche) and [Centrifuge (CFG)](/tr-tr/prices/centrifuge) are advancing the RWA tokenization space.

Avalanche, for example, partners with firms like Citi, Wellington, WisdomTree, and DTCC Digital Assets to tokenize funds in a bid to [increase the efficiency](https://www.citigroup.com/global/news/press-release/2024/citi-collaborates-with-wellington-management-and-wisdomtree-to-explore-tokenization-of-private-markets) of these traditional financial products.

Centrifuge allows businesses to open up lines of credit via the blockchain while also offering innovative compliance measures. Users of Centrifuge’s app can supply these businesses directly with funding and earn potential rewards over time.

## Service cryptocurrencies 🛠️

* * *

Service cryptocurrencies typically offer tools for using and sharing data that is maintained within blockchain networks.

Their commonality often lies in leveraging the transparency and security benefits of distributed ledgers to streamline and improve traditional sectors, such as healthcare and energy.

For example, some service cryptocurrencies work to provide users with digital identities and link individual’s records from the real world to the blockchain. Other service cryptocurrencies allow individuals to track and trade energy that they produce using peer-to-peer networks.

The three most common sectors in the services cryptocurrency category include:

1. DePIN
2. File storage
3. Digital resource markets

### Decentralized physical infrastructure (DePIN) 📡

DePIN is revolutionizing how infrastructure services like WiFi and cellular data are provided.

Instead of relying on giant corporations, DePIN networks leverage blockchain technology to incentivize a global community of users to build and maintain the infrastructure themselves.

Users can buy specialized devices to collect and store data while providing coverage and earning crypto rewards in return. Smart contracts ensure everything runs smoothly and fairly, eliminating the need for a centralized company controlling the network.

For example, [Helium (HNT)](/tr-tr/prices/helium) is creating a peer-to-peer 5G network that anyone can contribute to by purchasing a Helium hotspot. In return for providing coverage, the users earn HNT tokens.

To learn even more about how blockchain technology is being used to create peer-to-peer networks in the physical world as well, check out our article [What is DePIN?](/tr-tr/learn/what-is-depin)

### File storage 🗄️

In today’s digital world, nearly every aspect of our lives is stored as data.

Decentralized file storage projects harness blockchain technology to store this data while protecting it from central points of failure that can happen from centralized servers, data centers, or companies.

Projects like [Filecoin (FIL)](/tr-tr/prices/filecoin) and [Storj (STORJ)](/tr-tr/prices/storj) let anyone store their files on a decentralized network rather than centralized servers. This provides greater security, as well as a more reliable and transparent way to store information.

To make these systems work, anyone can share their unused computer storage and get rewarded with the project’s native token (FIL, STORJ, etc.) for expanding the network’s storage capacity.

### Digital resource markets 🏪

Just like there are global markets for physical resources such as oil, copper, and wheat, some Web3 projects enable the decentralized exchange of digital resources, such as computing power, energy, and data.

## Computing power ⚙️

Various digital resource markets enable anyone around the world to access computing power via decentralized networks of CPUs and GPUs.

This computing power can be used for any number of things, like building Web3 apps, creating AI models, or even hosting decentralized services like file storage ones.

**Examples of computing power services include:**

- [Akash (AKT)](/tr-tr/prices/akash-network) - a decentralized and open-source cloud computing marketplace that aims to accelerate app deployment in high-growth industries like blockchain and machine learning
- [Render (RNDR)](/tr-tr/prices/render-token) - a distributed network of GPU computers built on Ethereum that connects users that require GPU power with node operators who have idle GPU capacity.

#### ![rndr](https://assets.kraken.com/marketing/web/icons/sym-rndr_colored.svg)Render TokenPrice

## Energy ⚡️

Projects like [Energy Web (EWT)](/tr-tr/prices/energy-web-token) seek to improve the efficiency of renewable energy distribution around the world.

The Energy Web blockchain is purpose-built to connect renewable energy industry participants and monitor the distribution of energy resources in a transparent manner.

Projects like this aim to create more efficiency and transparency in energy markets.

[The Graph (GRT)](/tr-tr/prices/the-graph), for example, indexes data generated by apps on various blockchains and makes it readable thanks to visual displays such as charts.

[Ocean Protocol (OCEAN)](/tr-tr/prices/ocean-protocol), on the other hand, empowers data sovereignty thanks to its data marketplace. The platform allows anyone to securely list and monetize diverse data sets, whether they are blockchain-native (like DEX trading volume data) or originate from external sources (like demographic trends). This unlocks the value of data while preserving ownership control and privacy.

## Media & entertainment cryptocurrencies 🎭

* * *

Much like the name suggests, media and entertainment cryptocurrencies seek to reward users for creating and interacting with content, games, gambling, or social media.

Media and entertainment cryptocurrencies like [Basic Attention Token (BAT)](/tr-tr/prices/basic-attention-token) aims to better distribute value in an equitable way to creators and consumers.

Media and entertainment cryptocurrencies also power digital worlds commonly referred to as "the metaverse" which can be accessed via virtual and augmented reality technologies.

The vast world of [non-fungible tokens (NFTs)](/tr-tr/learn/what-are-non-fungible-tokens-nft) also falls within this category. These unique assets allow holders to prove their exclusive ownership over intangible items, including in-game characters and digital works of art.

### Non-fungible tokens (NFT) 📂

NFTs became popular for digital art, with collections like [Bored Ape Yacht Club (BAYC)](https://nft.kraken.com/explore/collections?collectionId=NCL24XT-MDL23-ME56PF) and [Cryptopunks](https://nft.kraken.com/explore/collections?collectionId=NCZRVRU-7YGFA-QWP5VE) making mainstream headlines.

However, NFTs go beyond just digital art, as they also provide a means to represent ownership on the blockchain. This ownership can be in the form of a Bored Ape JPEG, a concert ticket, a Rolex watch certificate of authentication, a content creator subscription, or even a virtual plot of land.

NFTs a proof of ownership over a piece of media, rather than the media itself. If you want to learn more about NFTs, check out our article [What is an NFT?](/tr-tr/learn/what-are-non-fungible-tokens-nft)

Some [NFT collections](/tr-tr/learn/what-is-nft-collection), like BAYC, also have their own crypto tokens.

The NFT collection’s [Apecoin (APE)](/tr-tr/prices/apecoin) grants holders a say in the project's future and demonstrates another viable use case of cryptocurrencies beyond payments and storing value.

### Metaverse 👾

The metaverse is a shared digital space where individuals can interact and engage in virtual experiences, much like they would in the physical world.

Both Decentraland's [MANA](/tr-tr/prices/decentraland) token and The Sandbox's [SAND](/tr-tr/prices/the-sandbox) token act as a primary utility token in the game's vast virtual world. Holders need this token to purchase land, interact with user-generated content, and participate in the platform's governance process.

### Play-to-earn gaming 🎮

Blockchain gaming is at a very nascent stage, and we’re already starting to see the emergence of certain trends.

Due to the composability of blockchains, characters within games, as well as games themselves, can be interconnected, thereby enabling players to use the same profile across multiple games.

[Enjin](/tr-tr/prices/enjin-coin), for example, offers a platform to manage in-game items. Enjin can help reduce the high fees and fraud that have plagued the transfer of virtual goods and collectables.

[Axie Infinity](/tr-tr/prices/axie-infinity-shards), on the other hand, is an example of a blockchain game where players breed, raise, battle and trade Axie creatures.

If you are interested in learning more about these video games, which reward players for their in-game achievements with assets that have real-world monetary value, check out our article [What are play-to-earn crypto games?](/tr-tr/learn/what-play-to-earn-crypto-games)
