Protocol Token Utility

Definition

Protocol token utility refers to the specific functions and uses that a native digital asset serves within its associated blockchain protocol or decentralized application. This utility can include governance rights, staking for network security, payment for transaction fees, or access to exclusive features. The design of a token’s utility is crucial for incentivizing participation, securing the network, and driving demand for the asset. It underpins the economic model and value proposition of a decentralized system.
