In Layer 1 (such as Ethereum's ETH, Solana's SOL), tokens are primarily used to pay transaction fees (Gas fees), incentivize miners or validators to maintain network security and consensus, and participate in on-chain governance for network upgrades. In Layer 2 (such as Arbitrum's ARB, Optimism's OP), tokens focus on governance voting, determining the direction of protocol development, and are often used to incentivize users and builders to engage in the ecosystem, enhancing network activity and security. Decentralized Layer tokens are the core crypto assets that support the operation of the blockchain's foundational layer (Layer 1) or expansion layer (Layer 2). They are not only the medium of value exchange within the network but also the fuel and governance credentials that drive the entire decentralized ecosystem.

The value of these tokens is rooted in the actual utility, security demand, and ecosystem prosperity of the networks they support. Through economic incentive mechanisms, they deeply bind the interests of users, builders, and maintainers with the long-term success of the network, making them key elements in building a trustworthy, efficient, and user-governed next-generation internet infrastructure.
