On-chain money refers to digital currency or assets that exist and are transacted directly on a blockchain network. These assets derive their value and validity from the cryptographic security and distributed ledger of the underlying blockchain. Transactions involving on-chain money are recorded publicly and immutably on the distributed ledger. This differs from off-chain representations of value.
