A token on Platform is a configuration hanging off a data contract, so making one means publishing a contract. What you decide there — decimals, supply, who may ever mint — is fixed the moment it lands.

Who holds a token

Platform cannot list holders: balances sit in a tree keyed by identity and nothing walks it. So this reads the token's history instead — every mint, transfer, burn and purchase — collects everyone who ever touched it, and looks up what each one has now. No key, and it works on any token, not only your own. Looking an identity up above fills this in for every token it holds — the box is for one it does not.
