# EKS Token
EKS is a cryptographic token that follows the ERC20 standard and is available for trading on the Polygon blockchain. It serves as the native currency of the ekuus platform and also functions as an independent store of value.
The use of EKS in in-game transactions allows us to reduce the costs associated with transaction fees, keeping them to a minimum.
Developers and external contributors to the project can receive EKS as a reward for their contributions. This not only increases their commitment to building on the platform but also encourages their involvement in the ongoing success of the project.
EKS is exclusively reserved for all in-game transactions, being essential for participating in races and tournaments, securing profits, and conducting exchanges within the game's internal market.
Furthermore, all player earnings are paid out solely in EKS tokens, thus ensuring a constant flow and active circulation within the ecosystem.\

Additionally, EKS holders enjoy privileges such as early access to the initial stages of future projects within the ecosystem, adding significant value and exclusivity to the possession of EKS tokens.
