Tokens

In this moment of great innovations across the web the most notable standing giant is the Web 3, many speak of it, few dare to question the challenge it solves and the opportunities it brings

What are tokens ?

Tokens are the main known entity in the web 3 space for representing currency but they are in reality much more than that. You can assume that the network’s so called economy circulates them as their main asset and considers them i the big picture as fungible currencies, gui and gwei, in laymen terms gas to compute the transactions, abstract assets built on top of fungible tokes as non fungible ones, certifications of various nature.

Worry some as it sounds their encoding is a serious second if not third blockchain era application of token standards and this makes them differentiated for all intended purposes.

What is their usage ?

In practice how you mostly encounter tokes is as non fungible assets and contracts, fungible currencies and communications such as votes and certifications of fulfillment.

Code wise

You can think of tokens as cryptographic code defined by standards, these standards are a set called ERC for the Ethereum based ones.

Another way of seeing them is as mathematical problems of different nature assigned to mining nodes on participation.

And in more simple terms numbers on a treasury or wallet balance.

Three ways the network yields tokens

These tokens are generated in may ways across the network and having community values shared together created value generation methods that go beyond what you could achieve by creating self sustaining transactions.

In general terms of network effects you ca describe how the network generated through games pools of tokes with the purpose of putting into circulation liquidity that could attract more games and network participants.

Another front to generate tokes is through the yielding of odes that each epoch generate more tokens in order to continue generating.

On top of these network effects you can trade, buy ad sell different assets both fungible and non or compound with subnets through games and investment yielding.

How could you get them without owning them?

Tokens can be bought through exchange platforms that possess services like indexes with current and future values of a given network’s currency, some of these listings might provide buying options for some of the indexed blockchain networks through fiat currency deposits.

I cases of tokens of networks created on top of other networks as composite but self standing networks it can also provide an intermediary service for converting them.

Wallets

In this moment of great innovation across the web the most notable standing giant is the web3, many speak of it few dare to question the challenge that it solves and the opportunities it brings.

What are wallets?

In this context possessing a stake is also possessing a wallet, wallets are a way to possess what you have programmed and carried through the games you have played on the network with or without an organization or what you have yielded from investments in the epochs passed by, and in the most common way it is your personal operations node from which you transact and exchange your tokens.

What can you do with them?

From your wallet transactions can leave to other wallets, to treasuries on the common net, to organizations and services or yield generators making use of financial game theory concept named incubation (like you would see for startups raising funds) and locking without technically leaving your wallet an amount of tokens autogenerating fungible to non fungible assets from various missions.

Technology wise?

With this technology you clearly have a blockchain network address and can choose from extensions on your browser that you sign in from your wallet comprehending account or your own account on a service like a node provider or even choose a native L2 chain Node like wallet through for example Ethereum.

This technology lets you deposit in your possession tokens of a specific chain and lets you interact according to your node provider, tokens in questions with the network that you choose to interact with be that a sub-chain in the L2 layer or a whole other chain if it has an interoperable protocol.

Create a personal knowledge base and share your knowledge with your peers.

Hugo Blox web framework empowers you with one of the most flexible note-taking capabilities out there.

Create a powerful knowledge base that works on top of a local folder of plain text Markdown files.

Use it as your second brain, either publicly sharing your knowledge with your peers via your website, or via a private GitHub repository and password-protected site just for yourself.

Mindmaps

Hugo Blox supports a Markdown extension for mindmaps.

With this open format, can even edit your mindmaps in other popular tools such as Obsidian.

Simply insert a Markdown code block labelled as markmap and optionally set the height of the mindmap as shown in the example below.

Mindmaps can be created by simply writing the items as a Markdown list within the markmap code block, indenting each item to create as many sub-levels as you need:


```markmap {height="200px"}
- Hugo Modules
- Hugo Blox
- blox-plugins-netlify
- blox-plugins-netlify-cms
- blox-plugins-reveal
```

renders as

- Hugo Modules
- Hugo Blox
- blox-plugins-netlify
- blox-plugins-netlify-cms
- blox-plugins-reveal

Anh here’s a more advanced mindmap with formatting, code blocks, and math:

Highlighting

Highlight important text with mark:

<mark>Highlighted text</mark>

Callouts

Use callouts (aka asides, hints, or alerts) to draw attention to notes, tips, and warnings.

By wrapping a paragraph in {{% callout note %}} ... {{% /callout %}}, it will render as an aside.

{{% callout note %}}
A Markdown aside is useful for displaying notices, hints, or definitions to your readers.
{{% /callout %}}

Or use the warning callout type so your readers don’t miss critical details:
