POA Tokens
Information about POA and POA20 tokens
Usage
The POA token is the native token or coin of the POA Network. It is used on the POA Network for transactional purposes, for transaction fees (gas), and as a reward mechanism for validators. DApps such as DopeRaider use POA for in-game purchases as well as transaction costs, while others like Geon leverage POA for gas fees while providing users with their own in-game tokens.
The POA20 token is a representation of the POA token available to use on the Ethereum mainnet. It is an ERC20 token which has all of the same properties as the POA token but is compatible with the mainnet.
