# Token Utility

Having and utilizing the $UNIL tokens, the investors can receive passive income through key decisions via governance, enjoy exclusive features on the platform, and stake. Holding the $UNIL tokens also opens you up to a host of benefits, such as lower fees, premium features, and access to new projects before they come on board. You'll also get airdrop eligibility and personalized customer support from new projects.

## <mark style="color:green;">1. Staking and Rewards</mark>

Unlike most other DeFi platforms that use inflationary emission of tokens for funding staking rewards, $UNIL provides sustainable returns by distributing rewards from the profit pool of the platform. Its estimated APY of as much as 122% gives holders a return-generating passive income stream that's both lucrative and economically viable.&#x20;

The model decreases the need for minting of tokens, prevents unnecessary dilution of the existing supply of funds, and makes rewards reflect actual platform performance, a huge advantage over yield-farming protocols.

## <mark style="color:green;">2. Governance</mark>

Unlike most of the DeFi platforms that provide shallow or symbolic voting rights, $UNIL gives its holders realistic, multi-faceted power over the ecosystem of the platform. The holders can directly vote on key pillars like platform development, onboarding of a project, tokenomics, and key partnership decisions, and not just protocol upgrades.

This degree of detailed participation makes for a genuinely community-run ecosystem wherein the user drives not only features, but economic incentives and cross-project interactions. It brings true transparency, aligns incentives together, and ensures sustainable development over the long term, a significant improvement over platforms that limit governance to merely technical adjustments or treasury voting.

Most DeFi platforms provide minimum staking rewards or airdrops, while $UNIL enhances holder value by providing a full-stack utility and benefits ecosystem. In contrast to most tokens that fulfill narrow purposes (e.g., discount or governance-only), $UNIL opens doors of access for priority investments, benefits by tiers, and instant support, providing holders multiple reasons to hold and interact long-term.

Where most platforms leave off at access gating or fee discounts, Unilabs rewards its token holders by having them at the front of the line for vetted protocol launches, access to premium insights, and white-glove customer support, fueling a loyalty loop that's both scarce and conversion-rich within the world of DeFi.
