ETH, BNB, MATIC, FTM, and many more.  
These networks support smart contracts like ERC20, ERC721, and ERC1155. Here ERC stands for  
Ethereum Request for Comment. These standards have especially ERC20 been dominant & helpful  
in Creating Tokens in Cryptocurrency networks. Tokens have been quite popular in There have been  
an increasing number of tokens in multiples of thousands.  
ICOs stands for Initial Coin Offering or IEO ie Initial Exchange Offerings have used tokens in their  
ECO system.  
Most exchanges nowadays support EVM Wallet and their tokens. To support tokens Developer use  
Either GETH [Go Ethereum Client], Or use Hdwallet+ [Moralis or Other Public APIs]

is required.
2. Multichain : Geth /Parity does not have More than one chain.
3. HDWallet: Geth creates a random Private key every time a new address is generated. Thus  
developer needs to maintain and backup Multiple private keys.
