Native and Staking Tokens
Understanding your options for native tokens on Avalanche L1s
It's important to understand that your native token and staking token don't necessarily have to be the same:
- Native Token: Used for paying transaction fees (gas)
- Staking Token: Used for validator rewards and network security
This separation allows for more flexible tokenomics design and can optimize different aspects of your blockchain's economy.
