Relation Token Introduction

The Relation token is at the heart of the Relation Labs ecosystem, functioning as a governance token, incentivizing user engagement, and acting as the primary payment token.

Its key utilities include:

• Network Support: The Relation token will significantly support scalability solutions, enhancing the network's capacity and efficiency. This use ensures the ecosystem can manage higher transaction volumes, decrease congestion, and improve the user experience.

• Social Credential Validation: Relation Tokens can be staked to participate in the process of social credential validation, which assesses and verifies users' authenticity, reputation, and credibility. Token holders staking their tokens can serve as Social Credential Validators, contributing to the integrity and trustworthiness of the ecosystem by authenticating user credentials.

• Governance: Token holders can propose and vote on changes to the protocol and policies, ensuring they have a voice in the project's direction. This mechanism fosters a decentralized and inclusive community-driven approach.

• Payment: The Relation Token also acts as a means of payment within the ecosystem. Users can use it to pay for services offered by the protocol, such as accessing specific features.
