Everything we’ve worked on has been oriented at assuring Root Protocol services can assist users in and out of Web3 regaining control by providing a one-stop crypto solution and a user experience similar to that of Web2.

At the heart of everything is the $ISME token, which acts as the basis on which everything is built while adhering to the core principles of cryptography and Web3. This community cares deeply about how we construct $ISME tokenomics and they should.

This article will go into detail on the design, implementation, and economic factors that determine its issuance, distribution, utility, and total value.

$ISME Utilities and Value Capture

$ISME tokens are utility tokens that are native to Root Protocol. They are designed to provide multiple accesses to a particular set of products or services within Root Protocol.

The utilities of $ISME are not static.

As we develop the Root Protocol, we envision the use cases and utilities will grow to accommodate a more diverse user base.

Currently, $ISME Token utilities include but are not limited to:

  1. Voting/Governance: First and foremost, $ISME tokens serve as the governance token, allowing token holders to vote on current and future Root Protocol development decisions.
  2. Paying Fees: As Root Protocol evolves, we gradually roll out Root Wallet, our Rollup chain, SDK, and many other fee-charging services. $ISME, as the utility tokens, can be used to pay transaction or service fees for these services and products.
  3. Staking: In our staking mechanisms, users lock up their tokens to participate in network security or to gain additional rewards.
  4. Reward/Bounty: $ISME can reward users for specific actions, such as contributing to the ecosystem, referring others, or debugging the services.

What Causes $ISME Price Changes?

We are often asked this question. In short, like any other asset, the basic economic principle of supply and demand plays a significant role in determining the price of a token. If demand for a token increases relative to its supply, the price is likely to rise, and vice versa.

Following this logic, one should study the $ISME releasing schedule, token demand, Root Protocol services and application quality, our partnerships, marketing efforts, and adoption.

Furthermore, macroeconomic factors such as market sentiment, liquidity, and regulatory environment have a significant impact on market pricing.

It is crucial to highlight that the cryptocurrency market may be volatile, with a complex interplay of factors influencing prices. Before making investing selections, investors should undertake extensive research and keep up to date on market trends.
