# Purse

A `Purse` is an entity that holds native tokens on the Casper network. It is represented by a special type of ([URef](https://docs.casper.network/developers/dapps/uref-security). Every account is assigned a main purse by default. Smart contracts can also create additional purses to manage tokens as needed.

Starting with Casper 2.0, contracts are able to delegate the tokens they hold to validators and earn delegation rewards.

## Properties

The `Purse` is not represented as a distinct object in the CSPR.cloud API. It is identified solely by its URef address.
