Could you please elaborate on the concept of a "native cryptocurrency"? I'm curious to understand how it differs from other forms of cryptocurrencies. Is it a digital asset that's specifically designed for a particular blockchain platform or ecosystem? What are some examples of native cryptocurrencies and how do they function? Additionally, how do native cryptocurrencies impact the overall value and utility of the blockchain they're native to? I'm looking for a concise yet comprehensive description that captures the essence of this unique type of cryptocurrency.

    These cryptocurrencies are decentralized, meaning they are not controlled by any central authority.
