Use cases

• The Primary Quote Currency: Paired with most tokens available on GnoSwap, $GNS serves as the primary quote currency across GnoSwap, meaning that it can facilitate trades of tokens without having direct pools.

• Position Staking Incentives: $GNS block emissions are directed towards position staking pools as incentives for LPs. These rewards are designed to offset the impermanent loss that LPs may experience, while also attracting them to contribute liquidity, ensuring the deep liquidity of the protocol.

• Governance: $GNS can be staked into the governance staking pool to become xGNS, which grants voting power on proposals submitted to GnoSwap Governance, enabling community members to actively participate in the governance of the GnoSwap protocol.

• Protocol Fees: Users are required to pay fees in $GNS on core interactions on GnoSwap. All protocol fees are distributed to xGNS holders. Details can be found in the Fee section.

• Participation in Launchpad: Users holding $GNS will have the opportunity to gain exposure to new projects launching on GnoSwap. By staking their $GNS, they receive tokens from a Launchpad project without any loss of their principal $GNS.
