What are WAX Tokens?

WAX Tokens power the WAX Blockchain. They’re used to reward participants for their activities on the chain. These participants include:

WAX Token holders who stake and vote
WAX Guilds who produce blocks
Developers whose projects are accepted into the WAX Worker Proposal System

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.
