# 🛠️ 9.2 Utility of EOSIF

<mark style="color:$success;">**EOSIF**</mark> is more than a payment token; it unlocks a wide array of privileges and incentives:

* **Access to Evaluation & Funded Accounts:** traders must pay fees in <mark style="color:$success;">**EOSIF**</mark> to purchase evaluation packages, upgrades and add‑ons. A portion of these fees is burned, reducing supply.
* **Governance:** <mark style="color:$success;">**EOSIF**</mark> holders vote on key parameters—profit splits, risk rules, listing new assets, launching new services, approving new traders, modifying parameters, upgrading smart contracts and adjusting the token emission schedule. Governance tokenomics encourage long‑term holding.
* **Staking:** holders can stake <mark style="color:$success;">**EOSIF**</mark> to earn a share of platform revenue (from evaluation fees, copy trading commissions, AI agent marketplace fees, <mark style="color:yellow;">**StandR Bot**</mark> subscriptions and RWA trading spreads). Staking rewards are distributed via smart contracts in <mark style="color:$success;">**EOSIF**</mark> or stablecoins. Rewards are not guaranteed and depend on platform usage.
* **Discounts and Perks:** stakers may receive discounted evaluation fees, access to premium analytics (such as deep order book data or AI strategy signals), early access to new bots or tokens, and exclusive NFT airdrops.
* **Collateral:** <mark style="color:$success;">**EOSIF**</mark> can serve as collateral for borrowing, especially in the lending module. Collateral factors and interest rates will depend on liquidity, volatility and community governance.
* **Liquidity Provision:** liquidity providers who stake <mark style="color:$success;">**EOSIF**</mark> in AMM pools earn trading fees and additional token incentives. Providing liquidity on platforms like Uniswap, Quickswap or Balancer etc increases token utility and market depth.
* **Referral and Affiliate Bonuses:** affiliates can receive commissions in <mark style="color:$success;">**EOSIF**</mark> for bringing new users to the platform or raising funds during token sales.

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://eosi-finance-1.gitbook.io/eosi-finance-documentations/eosi-finance/9-tokenomics-and-economic-design/9.2-utility-of-eosif.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
