The WCT token plays an important role in incentivizing the Waves community, as users receive WCT as a reward for their participation in projects and support for the platform. It also allows users the opportunity to participate in voting on projects being developed on the Waves network, which gives the community the authority to choose the most deserving projects for support. Furthermore, new tokens or additional rewards are distributed to WCT holders when new projects or tokens are launched on the network, making it a long-term investment for users who wish to actively participate in the ecosystem and receive future rewards.
