Token passing
ring
The token indicates current "ownership" of the ring, in that only one client at a time can have access to the network. If you don't have the token you can't do anything on the network. It also indicates the status of the ring, whether it is in use, available to transmit on, health status, etc.
I assume you're talking about a network. On a token network, all of the computers wait to send data until they have the token. The token is a piece of data that travels around the network (picture all of the computers set up in a circle) giving each one a chance to send their data. After that computer has sent the data, the token moves on to the next. It prevents data collision on the network.
In a ring topology, the access method used is typically token passing. In this method, a token is passed around the ring from one node to the next, allowing nodes to transmit data when they possess the token. This helps in controlling and managing the network traffic in a structured manner.

3. Unlike Ethernet, Token Ring uses a ring topology whereby the data is sent from one machine to the next and so on around the ring until it ends up back where it started. It also uses a token passing protocol which means that a machine can only use the network when it has control of the Token, this ensures that there are no collisions because only one machine can use the network at any given time.
To indicate to the network that a particular node is about to transmit data
CHSB stands for "Celsius Network Token," which is the native cryptocurrency token of the Celsius Network platform.
