Native Asset Utility

Definition

Native asset utility refers to the inherent functional value or purpose of a cryptocurrency or token within its specific blockchain ecosystem. This utility extends beyond mere speculative value, enabling users to pay for transaction fees, participate in governance, access network services, or secure the network through staking. The design of a native asset’s utility is fundamental to the economic model and sustainability of its underlying protocol. It defines how the asset contributes to the system’s operation.
