# Token Utility ### Payment commissions In addition to the main payment methods, participants have the opportunity to pay the commission with BAFEX tokens, receiving a significant discount (5-50% depending on the model). This mechanism assumes an increase in demand for the token among active users and sellers. *** ### Staking Rewards (APR) The yield depends on the locking period (Hard Lock/Soft Lock). Stakers receive a portion of the fees generated in the ecosystem and/or payments from a specially designated pool (15% of tokens). *** ### Security deposit for sellers Sellers are required to hold a certain amount of BAFEX tokens in Hard Lock to be eligible to enter the marketplace. Increasing the deposit reduces the commission and opens up additional privileges (up to VIP status). *** ### Management (DAO) Token holders can participate in decision-making on issues of platform development, changes in the commission structure, staking regulation, etc. Voting rights and initiative rights depend on the amount of BAFEX in the wallet, incentivizing long-term holding. --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
