About Lesson

Welcome to Module 5, where we will delve into the exciting world of the Injective Token, also known as INJ. This token plays a pivotal role in the Injective ecosystem, and in this section, we
will explore its functions and importance.

INJ is the native token of the Injective Protocol. It serves multiple purposes, each of which contributes to the overall functionality and health of the ecosystem. Let’s take a closer look at these roles.

Utility

Firstly, INJ serves as a utility token. It is used to pay for transaction fees on the Injective Protocol. This ensures that the network remains operational and that transactions are processed quickly and efficiently.

Governance
Secondly, INJ is a governance token. This means that INJ holders have the right to vote on various proposals related to the Injective Protocol. These could include changes to the protocol,
the introduction of new features, or decisions on how to allocate resources within the ecosystem. This democratic approach ensures that the Injective Protocol continues to evolve and improve based on the needs and desires of its users.

Staking
Lastly, INJ is used for staking. Staking is the process of locking up a certain amount of tokens to support the operations of a blockchain network. In the case of Injective Protocol, users who stake their INJ tokens help to secure the network and in return, they receive rewards. This incentivizes users to participate in the network and contributes to the overall security and stability of the Injective Protocol.

In summary, the INJ token is more than just a cryptocurrency. It is a vital component of the Injective ecosystem, facilitating transactions, enabling governance, and supporting network security through staking. Understanding the role of INJ in the ecosystem is crucial to fully grasp
the workings of the Injective Protocol.

In the next section, we will dive deeper into how INJ is used for governance and staking. Stay tuned!
