BNBBNB
Layer 1
Value TransferAccessDiscount Token+2
$602.81

BNB facilitates value transfer across the BNB Chain ecosystem, serving as the native currency to pay transaction fees on BNB Smart Chain and gas costs for smart contract execution on BSC and opBNB.
As a consensus token, BNB secures the network through staking in the PoSA model, where holders delegate to or vote for 21 active validators, earning rewards to support block production and ecosystem stability. Liquid staking is also available here.
BNB supports generalized governance through Tally and Snapshot, by enabling holders to create and vote on proposals. Additional utilities include the famous BNB discount utility on Binance, access to its launchpad, alongside numerous other utility traits listed here.

SolanaSOL
Layer 1
Value TransferConsensus Token
$150.58

SOL is the native token of Solana, used to pay transaction fees (a portion of which are burned) and interact with smart contracts, serving as a value transfer token.
Token holders can stake SOL to secure the network, earning annual rewards to facilitate consensus.
SOL enables governance indirectly, as staked tokens empower validators to influence network decisions, though holders themselves lack direct voting rights.

3
CardanoADA
Layer 1
Value TransferConsensus TokenGeneralized Governance
$0.72

ADA is the native cryptocurrency of Cardano, a Proof-of-Stake blockchain with smart contract capabilities. The token assumes the roles of: value transfer, consensus and governance.
Token holders participate in Cardano's governance, where they can propose, discuss, and vote on changes to the protocol via a tricameral model outlined in CIP-1694 and seven distinct types of governance actions.
Cardano’s Proof-of-Stake (PoS) consensus mechanism, named Ouroboros, allows token holders to stake their ADA to secure the network, validate transactions, and earn rewards without the energy-intensive mining processes of Proof-of-Work systems.

4
TRONTRX
Layer 1
Value TransferConsensus Token
$0.24

TRX fuels the Tron network, acting as its native token facilitating value transfer, covering transaction fees and smart contract deployment.
Staking TRX enables holders to facilitate consensus by supporting the 27 Super Representatives who validate blocks and secure the network.
TRX holders vote for Super Representatives, who govern the network by setting block rewards and transaction fee policies, shaping its direction.

5
SuiSUI
Layer 1
Value TransferConsensus TokenGeneralized Governance
$3.5

SUI serves as the network’s native currency facilitating value transfer, paying gas fees for transactions and storage.
Staking SUI contributes to the activity of performing consensus, enabling holders to delegate to validators, earning predictable rewards proportional to stake size, with validators processing transactions and securing the network per 24-hour epoch.
Token holders are granted governance rights with the capability to vote on-chain for protocol upgrades and parameter changes.

6
AvalancheAVAX
Layer 1
Value TransferConsensus Token
$22.12

AVAX is the native token of Avalanche, a Proof-of-Stake blockchain, used for paying transaction fees, and for staking to secure the network.
Staking AVAX provides rewards as a staking yield, and unlike other PoS networks, the validator does not experience token slashing for negligent/malicious behavior.
AVAX powers three blockchains: X-Chain for asset creation, C-Chain for smart contracts, and P-Chain for validator coordination; together forming the Primary Network.

7
HederaHBAR
Layer 1
Value TransferConsensus Token
$0.19

HBAR serves as the value transfer, and consensus token for the Hedera Hashgraph network, facilitating transaction fees, smart contract execution, network services and security.
The network uses a Proof-of-Stake consensus model; allowing token holders to earn yield on their HBAR by staking their tokens.
The reward rate for staking is determined by the Hedera Council, comprising up to 39 organizations, and responsible for core network decision making.

8
HyperliquidHYPE
Layer 1
Value TransferConsensus Token
$20.44

HYPE serves as the native gas token for the Hyperliquid L1 and HyperEVM transactions; facilitating its role as value transfer.
Token holders may stake HYPE to participate in the L1’s consensus; earning yield for securing the network.
HYPE staking features a 1-day lockup for delegations, a 7-day unstaking queue, and automatic reward compounding, with validator commissions capped at a 1% increase to protect delegators.

9
PolkadotDOT
Layer 1
Value TransferConsensus TokenGeneralized Governance
$4.28

DOT serves as the native token of the nominated proof-of-stake blockchain, Polkadot, comprising three key roles: value transfer, consensus and governance.
The token entitles holders to governance power over the Polkadot DAO, where users can voice their ideas on the direction of the Polkadot Protocol through the official forum, and participate in voting through Polkassembly.
DOT is used to connect and secure parachains (parallel blockchains) to the relay chain, enabling interoperability. Parachains can lease slots for a period, locking up DOT.

10
MoneroXMR
Layer 1
Value Transfer
$278.17

XMR is Monero's native token, whose function assumes the value transfer role, with no premine, instamine, ICO, or token sale.
Monero operates on a Proof of Work (PoW) system, currently using the RandomX algorithm, which is designed to ensure mining can be done with common hardware like CPUs and GPUs.
The token’s primary feature is its strong privacy orientation, achieved through ring signatures, stealth addresses, and confidential transactions.

11
Near ProtocolNEAR
Layer 1
Value TransferConsensus Token
$2.62

NEAR is the native token of NEAR Protocol, functioning as a medium of exchange, unit of account for transactions and storage (value transfer), and securing the network through staking (consensus).
Staking NEAR provides rewards for validators who maintain network integrity, with a slashing stake mechanism for validator misbehavior.
Transaction fees are paid in NEAR, with part of these fees burned to contribute in supply reduction based on network usage, aiming for value accrual as demand scales.

12
BittensorTAO
Layer 1
Value TransferWork TokenConsensus Token+1
$360.29

TAO drives value transfer as the native currency for transactions on Bittensor, enabling users to purchase blockspace, computational resources, and AI model requests, while serving as a work token by rewarding miners (41% of emissions) for providing computational power and model training, with staking and slashing ensuring honest participation.
Consensus is powered by the Yuma Consensus algorithm, where TAO acts as a consensus token, distributing stake-weighted rewards to subnet miners and validators (41% of emissions) based on performance evaluations, reinforcing network integrity through aligned incentives and reduced influence for outliers.
Governance operates via a two-tiered system, where the Triumvirate (three Opentensor Foundation employees) creates proposals, and the Senate (elected delegates with significant TAO stake) votes on them within a set timeframe, with TAO holders indirectly shaping decisions by electing Senate delegates.

13
SonicS
Layer 1
Value TransferConsensus TokenGeneralized Governance
$0.58

The S token facilitates value transfer through being paid for gas and redistributes up to 90% of app-generated fees (FeeM TXs) to developers and users. Holders can begin to participate in the network by exchanging their FTM for S, using the bridge.
Staking S enables validators to perform consensus; aiding in the security and general function of the network.
Token holders are able to qualify for an upcoming airdrop through a dynamic points system; accruing points via passive holding to actively deploying whitelisted assets. Additional token utility includes some form of governance power outlined here.

14
MANTRAOM
Layer 1
Value TransferConsensus TokenGeneralized Governance
$0.45

Use OM to cover fees when tokenizing assets or performing other actions on the MANTRA platform. Holders may also link their EVM wallet to their MANTRA wallet through the bridge to unlock numerous benefits such as access to airdrops.
Stake your OM to help keep the MANTRA network secure and earn rewards through the stake portal. Want more OM? You can also boost your earnings by depositing USDC into the Chakra Pool for a chance at the 50M OM airdrop.
Through the Guard Module, stake OM to access exclusive apps that require KYC verification, and you can use your tokens to participate in community governance outlined here. Plus, you can earn extra rewards by providing OM in liquidity pools.
