Bitcoin is was the first P2P network to introduce economic incentives in the form of bitcoin tokens/coins. In a crypto economic setup, financial incentives are designed to be fault tolerant, attack and collude resistant. These incentives are tied to a token. The design of the token defines the rules of the network.
