Tokens
Using jigs, you can create tokens similar to ERC-20. These can be used for stablecoins, in-game currencies, tradable reward points, shares of stock, and more. Unlike ERC-20 however, where different users interact through a smart contract, in Run each user owns their own tokens. This makes them more like native bitcoin.
In Run, tokens are just jigs that are fungible, meaning that you can divide them into smaller pieces and combine them back together, like cash. Tokens can be minted, owned, sent, and redeemed. And while you could write your own token class to implement this functionality, Run provides a base Token standard for your convenience. You extend from Token to create your own fungible token. As the owner of the class, only you will be able to mint new coins for your users.
Here we will guide you through a few use cases. For more, see
