Staking and Rewards

$OVM tokens are integral to the staking mechanism that secures the OracleVM network. Participants can stake their $OVM tokens to support the operation of first-party oracles and the overall integrity of the decentralized API (dAPI) Network. In return for staking, participants earn rewards in the form of additional $OVM tokens. This system not only incentivizes active participation but also enhances the security and reliability of the network by ensuring that oracles are well-supported and resilient.

Access to Oracle Services

The $OVM token is used as the primary means of payment within the OracleVM ecosystem. dApps and other blockchain platforms that require data feeds from OracleVM’s oracles must pay in $OVM tokens to access these services. This creates a continuous demand for the token, as the need for accurate, secure, and real-time data grows across the decentralized landscape.

Governance Participation

Although decentralized governance is not the primary focus of OracleVM, $OVM token holders are still given the ability to participate in governance decisions. Token holders can propose changes, vote on protocol upgrades, and influence other critical aspects of the platform’s development. This governance mechanism ensures that the OracleVM ecosystem remains adaptive and aligned with the interests of its community.
