# LayerDrone’s Token (Lite)

The LayerDrone economic system is built around its token. Tokens are issued to reward pilots for data capture. Pilots can use these tokens for various purposes in the application, starting with the ability to stake them to reserve future flights or have priority in high value flight requests. 

Data buyers can use tokens to purchase raw imagery directly from the LayerDrone Protocol. Alternatively, buyers can purchase imagery products from a value-added provider, such as Spexi Inc. (which purchases access from the protocol using tokens). With value-added providers, end buyers can use any payment method, including fiat.

Finally, tokens are used to commission or request particular flights on short-term timelines in the form of bounties to be collected by pilots.
