ALGM Utility

ALGM is Algem protocol’s governance token and has numerous functionalities. The purpose of this section is to examine these core functions.

Before we begin, it bears mentioning that the only way for users to receive ALGM is by depositing ASTR or other tokens in a vault. There is no pre-mine or ICO. In other words, users must partake in Liquid Farming in order to begin earning ALGM.

Furthermore, ALGM gives users the rights to:

• Earn by depositing to Algem’s DeFi partner dApps and receive additional earning incentives

• Earn by staking ALGM to the Algem protocol and to share in its revenues.

• Vote and make decisions regarding a dapp's future (e.g., add a new vault) and set parameters such as fees, vault weights, etc.
