Understanding $PAWN

$PAWN is the governance and utility token for Pawnfi Protocol. As an essence of Pawnfi DAO, the main purposes of $PAWN token are designed to incentivize liquidity contributors on the Pawnfi platform as well as engaging as many long-term supporters as possible in the governance of the protocol.

Liquidity providers on the Pawnfi platform receive $PAWN for build-up of liquidity. This ensures that the protocol is able to continue offering loans and enough liquidity. For more information on the providers' reward, see Incentive Mechanism.

With time-weighted voting and value accrual mechanisms, $PAWN currently has three main use cases: voting, boosting and earning safety incentives. These three things will require you to place your $PAWN in Pawnfi SAFE and acquire voting power.

Voting power are your $PAWN placed in SAFE - it is one of the most important and exciting incentives to hold $PAWN token. By placing $PAWN in SAFE for a period of time, it will not only boost your token reward, but maximize your revenue on the Pawnfi platform.
