Here’s some more information about the tokens:

Cardano (ADA) is a research-driven cryptocurrency. Cardano is the first proof-of-stake blockchain platform to be founded on peer-reviewed research. It’s powered by Ouroboros, a protocol that its proponents claim has improved upon security, scalability and energy efficiency versus other proof-of-work predecessors, like Bitcoin. ADA is the native token of Cardano and can be staked to earn rewards.

Chainlink (LINK) is a decentralized oracle that provides external data to smart contracts. Using reputation and validation systems to reward honest behavior among tamper-proof oracles, the Chainlink network connects smart contracts to real world data, events and payments. The cryptocurrency that powers the network is LINK, an ERC-20 token that incentivizes oracles – third party blockchain data sources – to maintain service level agreement (SLA) standards.

Avalanche (AVAX) is a system that serves as a foundation for a new wave of decentralized applications (or dApps). Consisting of three interoperable blockchains, it aims to deliver high throughput without sacrificing scalability.

Sui Network (SUI) is a scalable, low-latency smart contract platform powered by a permissionless set of validators. Sui Network allows transactions to be processed in parallel thanks to its unique data model and approach to consensus. The SUI token allows network users to pay gas fees, while also helping to ensure smooth transaction execution and reliable storage of operations on the network.

Litecoin (LTC) is a BTC fork with faster transaction confirmations. Litecoin (LTC) was released in 2011 as a fork of Bitcoin with the primary difference being a decreased block processing time, 2.5 minutes as opposed to Bitcoin’s 10 minutes, allowing for faster confirmation of transactions. Litecoin also features improved storage efficiency and a slightly different proof-of-work mining mechanism than Bitcoin.
