What is the purpose of having a native token?

There are many reasons why you would like to use Native Tokens.

• You may want to create your own cryptocurrency and share it with friends.
• You may want to play around with the Cardano ecosystem.
• You may want to create your own NFT.

Every decision is personal. Even if for the moment the final possibilities are limited without smart contracts, you can already get ready.

Once again I advise you to read the Official documentation.
