$OAT serves as the primary governance token for the OAT Network, with a strong focus on community engagement. It offers a wide range of use cases to holders.

&#x20;

**Governance & Voting**

$OAT holders will join in the collective construction of the OAT Network, with the right to participate in governance proposals and voting, aiding in building a robust community for the OAT Network.

&#x20;

**Staking**

$OAT holders can earn $TAO through staking system, receiving continuous rewards. The staking system contributes to the more stable development of the OAT Network.

&#x20;

**Contributor Rewards**

Another important role of $OAT is for incentive programs, including rewards for liquidity providers, early participants, and ecosystem builders. These incentive programs help promote the continuous growth of the OAT Network ecosystem.
