Token Utility
Governance
Once mature, Kine will gradually transition to community governance, allowing the community to decide the future of the protocol. KINE token holders may stake their KINE to vote on or propose new ideas to improve Kine Protocol. Some of such decisions could be:
- Addition/removal of staking assets on Kine.Finance
- Addition/removal of trading assets on Kine.Exchange
- Protocol parameters such as collateral factor, supply cap, risk limits.
Staking
- KINE is accepted as a staking asset of liquidity pool.
- KINE stakers to receive a dedicated share of fee pool, allowing higher return than other collaterals.
- Trading fee revenue from Kine.Exchange will be converted to KINE before being distributed as rewards.
- Long-term KINE stakers will accumulate more voting power for governance.
