# Token Utility

Within the SELF ecosystem, the $SELF token is our utility token.

Our token utility will increase as our products and ecosystem expands. Initially our token utility will be limited but will develop as the project progresses. 

1\) NFT username purchases - minting a SELF identity NFT will incur a fee payable in $SELF

2\) NFT secondary market - NFTs which are bought and sold on the secondary market will be transacted in $SELF

3\) Rewards - the SELF community will benefit from a variety of community rewards available which may include staking, farming, partner promotions, promotion runs

4\) NFT upgrades - adding a SELF avatar to your identity and other upgrades will incur a fee payable in $SELF

5\) Username auctions for top listed names will be charged in the $SELF token

More as the ecosystem expands
