Answer from AI

In programming and on blockchains, tokens are usually divided into several main types:

  1. Authentication tokens — used to verify the identity of a user, for example, JWT (JSON Web Token). They allow the system to confirm that the request comes from an authorized user.

  2. Access tokens — provide access to certain resources or APIs for a limited time.

  3. Refresh tokens — allow obtaining a new access token without re-authentication.

  4. Cryptocurrency tokens — digital assets on the blockchain that can represent currency, ownership rights, or other values. They are further divided into:

    • Utility tokens — provide access to services or products.
    • Security tokens — represent a share in assets or a company.
    • NFTs (Non-Fungible Tokens) — unique digital objects.
  5. Lexical tokens — in programming, these are the smallest units of source code (keywords, identifiers, operators, etc.) used during code parsing by a compiler or interpreter.
