Tokens

Tokens are a measure of currency used in Asphalt 8: Airborne. Tokens can be used for purchasing certain cars, boosters, pro kit boxes, and more. Although you cannot win tokens as a race reward, they are often available as prizes for time-limited events, and can be purchased in packs.

Tokens were introduced in the Winter update.

Token-bought items

 * There are many cars that can be bought with credits, and as of the Decals Update, many cars that were previously only available for real-life cash became available for sale as Token cars. The Decals Update also introduced customizable decals you can buy for cars (hence the name), many of which can be purchased with tokens.


 * In addition to cars, the Double Credits and Extra Tank items both require tokens to buy.


 * All pro kit boxes, with the exception of the Racer Kit Box, are bought with tokens.


 * Finally, a free refill, costing 65 tokens, is available for the fuel bar in the events section.

Value
It is unknown what the relationship between tokens and credits are, but comparing the Rookie Credit Pack (30,000 credits), and the Handful of Tokens Pack (200 tokens) both of which cost $2.99, we can estimate that one token is equivalent to about 600 credits. Of course, this estimate is extremely rough as the amount of in-game currency you receive for every dollar you spend depends largely on which pack you purchased.
