ACA Token: Governance & Utility

The native token, ACA, fuels Acala’s ecosystem by serving as both a governance and utility token. With deflationary mechanisms like token burns and capped supply, ACA is designed to grow in value while powering the network.

$ACA can be used as transaction fees, vote in governance proposals, pallet deployments, etc. Moreover, it is also used for:

  • ACA Staking

  • Ecosystem token contributions are farmable via staked ACA

  • Vote for emission distribution to liquidity pools and dApps

  • A portion (e.g. 20% via governance) of staked ACA can be used as a mitigation tool in case of a shortfall event within the protocols that are native to Acala
