# Token Utility

$CRX serves five functions across the ecosystem:

* **Access and tiering**. Holdings determine early access, priority support, and exclusive features. The more $CRX held, the higher the tier and the more that is unlocked across the ecosystem.
* **Fee settlement**. All CereBree platforms accept $CRX for one-time payments, subscriptions, and credits. Every transaction creates persistent buy pressure tied directly to platform adoption.
* **Governance**. One token, one vote. $CRX holders vote on upgrades, treasury allocation, feature priorities, and partnerships. Every holder shapes the direction of the ecosystem.
* **Staking and yield**. $CRX can be locked to receive a proportional share of ecosystem revenue. Three lock pools are available: 30 days at 8% APR, 90 days at 12% APR, and 180 days at 18% APR.
* **Rewards**. Participants earn $CRX through referrals, content creation, bug bounties, and early adoption bonuses.
