Tokens (, or ) are a premium currency currently used since Asphalt 8: Airborne. Introduced in the Winter Update, they can be obtained through Events, in-game advertisements (at a rate of 2 per 15~30 second ad), in-game purchase in the form of token packs, as a Mastery Reward for certain cars, completing Daily Tasks, as a Multiplayer League level up bonus, as a Multiplayer League points reward and completing Moto Blitz seasons.
Tokens are represented as blue 3D pentagonal coins marked with an "A", the same "A" that is used in the Asphalt series logo.

Token Packs
Token packs are an in-app purchase that provides the player a set amount of tokens in exchange for real money. While the price for a pack increases for a bigger payout, the larger packs are overall of more value as the player gains a larger amount for a reduced money → tokens cost ratio. With the
Rio de Janeiro Update, each token pack will also award the player with VIP points for the VIP System.
A Tokens Pass Subscription was also available when first launched for certain players/regions and gave a total of 3,000, 600 more than a Mountain of Tokens for the price of a Hoard of Tokens; the player has to however log-in to the game every day for a consecutive 30 times with each log-in awarding 100.
The Token Pass Subscription has since been updated to now give a total of 6,600; 220 per day at half the price of a Truckload of Tokens for a similar amount.
- Handful of Tokens: 200 & 200 VIP points
- Stack of Tokens: 525 & 500 VIP points
- Hoard of Tokens: 1,100 & 1,000 VIP points
- Mountain of Tokens: 2,400 & 2,000 VIP points.
- Tokens Pass Subscription: 6,600 & 2,500 VIP points
- Truckload of Tokens: 6,500 & 5,000 VIP points.
- Vault of Tokens: 15,000 & 10,000 VIP points.
Anniversary Coins
Available only during the 5th Anniversary and Halloween Festival event, Anniversary Coins can be purchased as part of any Tokens or Credits pack.
- Handful of Tokens: 150 Coins
- Stack of Tokens: 350 Coins
- Hoard of Tokens: 675 Coins

- Truckload of Tokens: 2,625 Coins

Transferability with Credits
There is no official conversion rate between tokens and Credits in Asphalt 8: Airborne. A token is worth 138 on average, and at most, 341. This is only an estimate, as the number of in-game tokens received for an equivalent value of credits depends largely on what you purchased.
In general, the lower the credit/token ratio of the car price is, the more economical it would be to purchase the car with credits instead of tokens. Due to the scarcity and high value of tokens to most players, it is usually a better choice to purchase an item with credits and save the tokens for other uses.

Obtaining Tokens
Pre v4.1
Unlike credits, tokens are only obtainable as an Event, Car Mastery or Moto Blitz reward. Listed below are all of the cars with a car mastery tokens reward
Post v4.1
The Fast Lane Update made the Mastery for all vehicles to now award a Tokens reward when the 15th challenge is completed; 50 for Class D, 100 for Class C-S. As such, a total of 22,450 can now be obtained.
Glitches
In the Research & Development Update, any car that was normally sold for tokens/licenses would end up selling for the same price, but in credits. This would normally happen under a weak Wi-Fi/mobile data connection. An example of this would be the McLaren P1™ GTR selling for the price of an Aston Martin DB9 Coupé ( 14,500).
In the Multiplayer League Update, the Chevrolet Corvette C3's tenth Mastery Challenge was bugged, seemingly awarding 12,550.
