Token Utility

SendingNetwork Token is designed to connect users and nodes, reward contributions, and maintain the smooth operation of the communication network.

Miner-Oriented Utility

SendingNetwork’s decentralized architecture relies on three types of nodes—Edge, Watchdog, and Guardian—each playing a distinct role in maintaining network integrity：

• Edge Nodes, responsible for relaying messages, must stake token to participate. This stake is subject to slashing if nodes fail to meet performance standards, ensuring accountability. In return, Edge Nodes earn relay fees in SendingNetwork Token, directly tying their revenue to network usage.

• Watchdog Nodes, which monitor network health without staking, earn rewards for their checks and help deter malicious activity.

• Guardian Nodes, tasked with validating node's workload, also stake SendingNetwork Token and receive validation rewards, reflecting their critical role in preventing fraud.

User-Oriented Utility

For end-users, the token transcends its role as a payment token. It unlocks exclusive benefits, cross-project opportunities, and governance rights:

• Users of the messaging network pay relay fees with SendingNetwork Token for message transmission.

• Users leverage the token to access enhanced app functionalities, such as custom themes or HD video calls.

• Through partnerships with external projects, users stake SendingNetwork Token to receive airdropped tokens from collaborating platforms.

• As SendingNetwork transitions to a DAO, token holders propose and vote on protocol upgrades, fee structures, and partnership strategies.

Developer-Oriented Utility

For developers building on SendingNetwork, the token is more than a currency—it’s a growth accelerator and collaboration tool:

• Developers can subsidize messaging costs for their users by prepaying relay fees. This lowers barriers to user adoption, enabling apps to scale seamlessly while maintaining decentralized infrastructure.

• SendingNetwork Token serves as the gateway to advanced network features. Developers pay in tokens to access high-throughput APIs, ensuring resource allocation aligns with demand.

• Active contributors to the network—whether by improving protocols or integrating novel use cases—earn token rewards.

The SendingNetwork Token is the backbone of a self-sustaining decentralized ecosystem. For miners, users, and developers alike, the token unlocks a future where messaging is secure, collaborative, and community-driven.
