I'm trying to understand the concept of a native coin. Could someone explain what it is and how it differs from other types of coins or tokens in the cryptocurrency world?

    It is also referred to by various names such as a “native token”, “protocol token”, “internal token”, or “embedded token”.

    A native coin is a digital currency that forms an integral part of its respective blockchain.

    This digital asset is inextricably linked to the blockchain it originates from.
