Here is some additional information about each token:
Ethereum (ETH) is a global open source platform for decentralized applications. Ethereum is a trustless, decentralized and secure financial services, gaming and applications marketplace. ETH is the cryptocurrency that powers the Ethereum network. It is used to pay for transactions, as a store of value or peer-to-peer payment method, or as collateral to generate entirely different crypto tokens that run on Ethereum.
Solana (SOL) is a blockchain platform aimed at improving user scalability. Solana is a blockchain platform that aims to increase user scalability through faster transaction settlement times and flexible infrastructure. The SOL cryptocurrency plays a key role in maintaining and operating the Solana ecosystem and is used to execute smart contracts, send transactions, and incentivize stakeholders that support the network.
Polygon (MATIC) is a multi-chain scaling solution for the Ethereum blockchain. Polygon is a layer 2 scaling solution for Ethereum that aims to improve the speed and reduce the cost and complexity of transactions on its network. Polygon uses sidechains to facilitate off-chain computation while maintaining security and uses a decentralized network of proof-of-stake (PoS) validators. MATIC is the utility token of the Polygon network and is used to secure the chain through staking, participate in network governance, and as a unit of payment for transaction fees on the network.
Polka dot (DOT) is a blockchain network designed to facilitate rapid confirmations of transactions. Polkadot is a blockchain that seeks to connect an ecosystem of blockchains, and to achieve this goal it is introducing a number of new technical features. The Polkadot network is made up of two types of blockchains. A main chain, called a relay chain, where all transactions are agreed to continuously, and user-generated chains, called parachains.
Kusama (KSM) is an experimental testing environment based on the Polkadot codebase. Created by the same team that deployed Polkadot, Kusama is a testing ground for developers who hold the KSM token and want to create and deploy a parachain or try out Polkadot's governance, staking, nomination, and validation features in a real environment.
Cosmos (ATOM) is the Internet of blockchains. Cosmos is a decentralized ecosystem of blockchains that can scale and interoperate. The goal of Cosmos is to make it easy for developers to create separate blockchains that can interact with each other – essentially forming an Internet of networked blockchains. ATOM is the native staking token associated with Cosmos Hub, the first of thousands of interconnected blockchains.
Secret Network (SCRT) enables permissionless encryption of smart contracts on public blockchain networks through the use of trusted execution environments (TEEs) on computers to provide greater privacy for users.
Kava (KAVA) is a decentralized finance (DeFi) platform that allows users to make loans to themselves using their cryptocurrency as collateral. With Kava, anyone can use a handful of major cryptocurrencies (BTC, XRP, BNB, and ATOM) as collateral to generate self-issued loans without running a credit check or finding a counterparty. Loans are issued using a USD-pegged stablecoin called USDX, and the collateralized crypto assets are returned once the loan is repaid.
