# Token Utility

### Main use cases via EDEN

* **Staking Rewards**: Users staking EDEN tokens can receive staking rewards.
* **Governance Design**: From matters such as token emission schedule and discussion on future product roadmap, we will allow for governance voting from the community using governance tokens, building alignment between token holders and the issuer.
* **Bootstrapping Growt**h: A portion of EDEN tokens remain earmarked for future reward emissions to bootstrap growth of new products launched by OpenEden
* **Fee Discounts and Rebates**: Holders of governance tokens may be entitled to fee discounts or rebates for using products and services within the OpenEden ecosystem. Holding xEDEN tokens may also open up access to premium product features and services.

### Potential Planned Future Use Case

A portion of the project’s treasury or revenue is allocated to buying back EDEN tokens from the open market and burning them. This reduces the total supply and creates demand for the tokens.

(This will be subjected to legal review)
