See Our "Green Wings" and CATs in Action

The Chia blockchain, as explained in the consensus section, is a linked list of blocks, agreed upon by nodes. Nodes also maintain a table of coins. A coin in chia is a record of ownership of a certain amount of XCH, which can be unlocked by providing a puzzle and solution.

Chia Asset Tokens (CATs) are fungible tokens that are minted from XCH and live on Chia’s blockchain. 

CATs have the property of being “marked” in a way that makes them unusable as regular XCH. However, it is often possible to “retire” CATs, which then “melt” back into XCH.

Reminder:

Fungible tokens can be split apart, or merged together. They can also be substituted for a token of equal value. Some common examples include gold, oil, and dollars.

Non-fungible tokens (NFTs), on the other hand, are indivisible and cannot be merged. They are unique, so they cannot be substituted. Some common examples include cars, baseball cards, and cloakroom tickets.

If you’re finding it difficult to visualize the process of minting and retiring CATs, it might help to think in terms of copper and pennies:

In the real world, if you have a sheet of copper, you can mint pennies. The face value of the pennies is not directly linked to the value of the copper they are made from. In Chia, if you have a bit of XCH, you can mint CATs. The value of the CATs is not directly linked to the value of the XCH they are made from.

In the real world, it’s possible melt pennies into raw copper. In Chia, it’s possible to retire your CATs, which melt into XCH.

(Obviously you aren’t allowed to mint your own pennies, or even to melt them. This is just an analogy.)

A few use cases for CATS are:

• Stablecoins
• Stock issuance
• Voting shares

XCH is the currency symbol for Chia. TXCH is the currency symbol currently being used for testnet chias. TXCH has no value and is only used for testing purposes. Chias and testnet chias can be divided up to 12 decimal places (trillionths). The smallest unit of chia, a trillionth of a chia, is called a mojo, as a tribute to Mojo Nation, a decentralized file storage platform created in the early 2000s by Zooko Wilcox, Bram Cohen, and others.

Chia vs chia

Chia - depending on context, this can refer to Chia Network the company, the Chia software (Chia client), or the Chia blockchain

chia - lowercase chia refers to the Chia token, XCH. Similarly, mojos are lowercase.
