# Utility and Overall Purpose

* Reward Incentives: Tokens compensate pilots for data capture efforts, incentivizing participation in the network.
* Transaction Medium: Tokens facilitate data purchases and flight commissions.
* Pilot Engagement: Pilots can stake tokens for premium mission reservations or high-value requests, encouraging deeper engagement within the network.

Governance: Tokens may enable participation in the LayerDrone governance process so tokenholders can influence the trajectory of the network.
