# Blokista Token (BCC)

The BCC token is the native currency of the Blokista blockchain and platform, just like ETH on Ethereum.

## BCC utility:

* **Transaction fees** Being the native currency on the Blokista blockchain, BCC is required to pay fees to the network in order to approve transactions.
* **Validation** Token holders can stake Blokista to become a validator. The minimal staking requirement is 100K. The network is growing, currently there are 60 validators. (<https://status.bccscan.com/>)
* **Voting** Validators vote on protocol changes with their staked BCC. Which means validators with higher amounts of Blokista staked can have a bigger vote on network upgrades and governance changes (until phase 2 where delegation is activated)
* **Staking (for delegators)** Any BCC holder can choose one or more validators to delegate any amount of BCC they wish. They receive a share of the Blokista block rewards proportionate to the share of their stake in the total stake, minus the minimum 15% fee paid to the validator(s).
* **Payments** As BCC is the native currency on Blokista, sending it does not require interactions with smart contracts. Thus, BCC transfers are potentially faster and less costly in terms of transaction fees.

**IMPORTANT**: Merely possessing any amount of BCC tokens does not endow holders with any rights to participate in the governance of the Blokista platform or any revenue streams related to its real-world performance.

## Obtaining BCC

### Where to Buy

BCC is available for purchase on a number of centralized (CEX) and decentralized DEX exchanges.

**Centralized exchanges**: Gate.io, Huobi Global, MEXC Global, AscendEX, Bimart, Bittrex Global

**DEXes:** Uniswap V2 and V3 (Ethereum), PancakeSwap (Binance Smart Chain), Quickswap (Polygon), Voltage DEX (Blokista), Sushiswap (Blokista), 1inch (Ethereum), KyberSwap (Ethereum), Loopring (Ethereum).

The best information about the BCC trading volumes and prices on various exchanges can be found on the Coingecko "Markets" [page](https://www.coingecko.com/en/coins/fuse#markets) for the token.

A convenient current way of purchasing BCC straight from one's bank account is through using the [Blokista Cash](https://fuse.cash) wallet to deposit Blokista Dollars, and then swapping those to BCC via the in-app integration with Voltage DEX.

### Where to Farm

At the moment, the BCC token is sometimes used by the project team to power liquidity rewards (yield farming) programs to boost liquidity on DEXes and the participation in the [Blokista Lending Network](#fuse-utility).

The ongoing liquidity rewards programs on DEXes can be discovered [here](https://app.voltage.finance/index.html#/farm/39656).

### Other ways of obtaining BCC

From time to time, the Blokista team uses BCC to pay rewards to the members of the community for various forms of participation and community engagement. The best way to stay up-to-date about these opportunities is to follow Blokista's [social channels](https://docs.bccscan.com/general/community).

The BCC token is also used to power Blokista grants and bounties. Please consult the [Grants and Bounties](https://docs.bccscan.com/general/things-you-can-do-on-fuse/grants-and-bounties) section for more details.
