What are WAX Tokens?
WAX Tokens power the WAX Blockchain. They’re used to reward participants for their activities on the chain, and to purchase digital collectibles that trade on the WAX Blockchain (called NFTs).
You may sometimes see WAX Tokens called WAXP Tokens.
What are the benefits of owning WAX Tokens?
You can use your WAX Tokens to:
- Earn more WAX Tokens, called WAX Staking Rewards, by voting for WAX Guilds (parties that perform blockchain functions). It’s easy to earn WAX Staking Rewards, the process takes just a minute or two, and you can unstake your tokens at any time* (learn how to stake and vote in the next sections). You can read more about WAX Staking Rewards and why we created this program here.
- Purchase digital collectibles, called NFTs, that trade on the WAX Blockchain. To purchase WAX NFTs on these secondary marketplaces, you need WAX Tokens which you can purchase on the websites listed here. You can learn more about NFTs on WAX here.
*The unstaking process takes 72 hours.
