While stablecoins are the primary medium of exchange, the $XPL token is the bedrock of the ecosystem’s security and growth. It serves three critical functions:
Network Security: Validators stake $XPL to participate in consensus and earn rewards, creating a robust economic moat for the chain.
Advanced Utility: While simple transfers are free, more complex smart contract interactions utilize for gas.
Governance: Token holders shape the future of the protocol, from adjusting fee structures to managing the ecosystem treasury.
By combining the familiarity of the EVM with a hyper-focused payment mission, @Plasma a and the $XPL token are building the rails for a truly borderless financial system.
