productionCovenant-native tokens — the chain itself enforces the rules
In plain English
Tokens built as covenants, so supply and transfer rules are checked by Kaspa consensus itself — no off-chain bookkeeper has to be trusted. Live and traded on mainnet; the written standard is still being consolidated.
Tokens whose rulebook is machined into the vault door — nobody outside the chain keeps the score.

When to choose it over…
- Kaspa Script + Covenants++ — the base rule system built into kaspa transactions
- Silverscript — high-level covenant language that compiles to kaspa script
- Argent — actor-based app language that builds on silverscript
- vProgs / CDAG — native programs living in the dag — the research track
