| On Cardano, each class of tokens (or asset class) is identified by its currency symbol (also known as currency, or asset group) along with the token name. | ||
| The minting and burning of a token are controlled by the Plutus script whose hash corresponds to the token's currency symbol. | ||
|

Promoted the glossary page to the top level. It doesn't belong to "delve deeper" since it is often needed by new users who haven't started delving. Also rewrote a substantial part of it.
