What is the Yotta Token website?
The Yotta Token web site provides information about Yotta Laboratories, what their aims and objectives are, and why they are launching the Yotta Token which is called YEdge Token.
What is a token?
Crypto tokens, which are also called crypto assets, are special kinds of virtual currency tokens and represent an asset or utility. Yotta Laboratories are issuing YEdge Tokens as a utility token to expand its business development activities, including the development of the Yotta Token Network. YEdge Token holders will be able to exchange tokens for Yotta services and products.
What is the difference between a crypto coin and token?
Very broadly, a crypto coin is just that: a coin or a digital means of payment, the express purpose of a coin is to act as money. A token has wider functionality but cannot be considered money in quite the same way that a coin can. Tokens offer more functionality over and above that of digital cash. They may deliver value to investors and can be traded, but it is important to note that the value can go up and down. Beyond speculative returns, Tokens can be used to purchase items that accept the specific token as payment, for example, the services and products that Yotta are developing.
Is crypto just a way for people to move money around anonymously?
The crypto industry is not regulated which tends to suggest that there is something ‘underhand’ going on. However, that is not the case. Regulated financial services, such as banks, have regulations in place to stop Money Laundering (AML) and to make sure any advice provided on potential risks on investments is fully explained. What you will find is that the crypto industry has become self-regulated and when you sign up for a wallet you will have to provide identity check details during the approval process. Once you are approved, you are also likely to have limits set on the maximum value of funds transfer that can be undertaken on a monthly basis.

The YEdge Token is a crypto token. A crypto token is a security or a digital asset. Think about it in terms of it being a digital share. The digital shares can be traded (bought/sold) on a digital exchange at their current value. It is also important to note that once the products being developed by Yotta Laboratories are available, the company will provide the opportunity for holders of YEdge Tokens to use these to purchase the products. This also includes the YEdge Token Network
So if I trade them on a digital exchange, I might lose money?
The value of the tokens may go down as well as up, as with any asset. The marketplace value of the YEdge Token will relate to the demand for the YEdge Tokens once they are available to be traded.

See Crypto Token section on the web site for general information on the process.
What is a Digital Wallet?
A Digital Wallet is sometimes referred to as an e-Wallet. Think about it in terms of having a type of online bank account. A simple example is Apple Pay. If you have an iPhone you can place funds in the wallet and use your phone to pay for items that accept Apple Pay.
In the crypto space, you need a Crypto Digital Wallet, such as the MEW wallet or the Coinbase Wallet and the currency is cryptocurrency such as BitCoin (BTC) or Ethereum (ETH). You buy BTC or ETH through the wallet and then you can use this to buy a variety of things, such as tokens. Further information on Crypto Digital Wallets can be found in The Wallet section on the website. You can also use a browser extension wallet such as MetaMask.
How secure is a Crypto Digital Wallet?
Crypto Digital Wallets are secured using extra levels of security through a series of cryptographic hashes. They operate on a decentralised blockchain platform and importantly, you are the only person accessing and managing it. To operate in the crypto market you need a Crypto Digital Wallet that supports the ERC-20 token standard as the YEdge Token will be available through payment by Ethereum. You also need to understand the term ‘Gas’
What is ERC-20?
ERC-20 is the Ethereum token standard which is used for Ethereum smart contracts. ERC-20 defines a common list of rules that an Ethereum token has to implement, giving developers the ability to program how new tokens will function within the Ethereum ecosystem. The main reason the YEdge Token will use this protocol is that it is a popular standard for companies offering a Token Listing.
What is Gas?
Gas, also known as a network fee, is a transaction fee and you need to make sure to include a little bit of extra Ether in your wallet to enable transactions within the Ethereum network. For example, if you are spending 10 ETH, the amount of ETH you will use will be, say 10.01 ETH and the additional 0.01 ETH is the transaction fee or ‘gas’ that is required to process your purchase.
Where does the transaction fee go?
The transaction fee or ‘Gas’ goes to the verifiers of the transaction who are on the Ethereum blockchain network.
What is a Smart Contract?
In simple terms, a Smart Contract is the autonomous electronic process that takes place to verify a transaction.
So in simple terms, if I want to buy YEdge Tokens I need a Digital Wallet, I need to buy some Ethereum and then use that to purchase the YEdge Tokens?
Yes, if you want to use crypto to purchase the tokens through our web site before the initial listing. You will also need a Digital Wallet to receive the YEdge Tokens once purchased.
