tokenek

Tokenek, the Hungarian term for tokens, are units that represent a claim, asset, piece of information, or identity in various technical contexts. In computing, a token is a basic element produced by lexical analysis. Typical token types include keywords, identifiers, literals, and operators. Tokenization is the process of splitting source code or text into tokens for parsing and interpretation. In natural language processing, tokens are the smallest units of text, usually words or punctuation marks, and tokenization prepares data for further analysis.

In cybersecurity and APIs, access tokens or API tokens authenticate requests. They can take forms such as bearer tokens or JSON Web Tokens (JWTs) and are often issued by an authentication server; token lifetimes and scopes control access.

In blockchain and crypto, digital tokens represent assets, rights, or permissions within a blockchain-based system. Fungible tokens are interchangeable, while non-fungible tokens (NFTs) are unique. Token standards (for example, ERC-20 and ERC-721 on Ethereum) define behavior and interoperability.

In finance and asset management, tokenization converts real-world assets into digital tokens on a blockchain, enabling fractional ownership and programmable transfer rules. In linguistics, a token refers to a single occurrence of a form in a text, contrasted with a type, which is a distinct word or symbol.

Tokenek thus cover a broad family of concepts that share the idea of a discrete unit carrying value, identity, or information.
