After some research, turned out that JWT (json web token)'s primary job is identifying who is sending the api calls. Once the user is authenticated, we give them a token, and when the user makes an api call, we test that token to make sure the user is verified. This is because we don't want random people making a million requests to some actions that only authenticated users are allowed to do. This will come more into play when we do build actions that we probably only want authenticated users to do.
