Could you please clarify for me whether Mana is classified as a coin or a token in the cryptocurrency landscape? I've heard it discussed in both contexts, but I'm still a bit uncertain about the distinction. I understand coins typically have their own blockchains while tokens may be built on top of existing blockchains, but I'm not sure how Mana fits into this framework. Clarifying this distinction would greatly help me in understanding its functionality and potential value within the broader crypto ecosystem. Thank you for your assistance in clarifying this matter.

    The ERC-20 standard ensures compatibility and interoperability with other Ethereum-based applications and services.

    These tokens are created using Ethereum smart contracts, which are self-executing pieces of code.

    MANA tokens are fungible, meaning they are interchangeable and each token is identical to another.

    The fungibility of MANA allows it to be easily traded and used within the Ethereum ecosystem.
