Ubit Token (UBIT)
The UBIT token is the native currency of the Ubit blockchain and platform, just like ETH on Ethereum.
UBIT utility:
Transaction fees Being the native currency on the Ubit blockchain, UBIT is required to pay fees to the network in order to approve transactions.
Validation Token holders can stake Ubit to become a validator. The minimal staking requirement is 100K. The network is growing, currently there are 60 validators. (https://status.ubitscan.com/)
Voting Validators vote on protocol changes with their staked UBIT. Which means validators with higher amounts of Ubit staked can have a bigger vote on network upgrades and governance changes (until phase 2 where delegation is activated)
Staking (for delegators) Any UBIT holder can choose one or more validators to delegate any amount of UBIT they wish. They receive a share of the Ubit block rewards proportionate to the share of their stake in the total stake, minus the minimum 15% fee paid to the validator(s).
Payments As UBIT is the native currency on Ubit, sending it does not require interactions with smart contracts. Thus, UBIT transfers are potentially faster and less costly in terms of transaction fees.
IMPORTANT: Merely possessing any amount of UBIT tokens does not endow holders with any rights to participate in the governance of the Ubit platform or any revenue streams related to its real-world performance.
