It is designed to support platform activity, AI services, ecosystem access, community incentives, and future decentralized governance. As BuySwap expands from a Prediction Exchange into a broader AI-powered Prediction infrastructure, BST becomes the core asset that connects users, traders, AI tools, developers, and ecosystem products. ## Utility BST is designed to be used across multiple areas of the ecosystem. ### Trading Fees BST can be used to pay trading-related fees within the BuySwap Exchange. ### AI Prediction Services Users may use BST to access AI Prediction Signals, advanced analytics, premium market insights, and future AI-powered tools. ### Premium Features BST may unlock enhanced platform features, advanced dashboards, professional tools, and ecosystem memberships. ### Genesis Club Access BST may be used as part of the access mechanism for Genesis Club, the long-term membership layer of the ecosystem. ### Governance Participation As the ecosystem matures, BST may support decentralized governance participation, allowing the community to vote on proposals and future platform development. ## Ecosystem Role BST is not designed as a standalone asset. It is designed as an ecosystem utility token that grows in relevance as the BuySwap platform expands. The more products and services BuySwap introduces, the more use cases BST can support across the ecosystem. ## Long-Term Design The long-term role of BST is to create alignment between: * Users * Traders * AI service users * Developers * Community members * Ecosystem partners By connecting utility, access, incentives, and governance, BST helps create a sustainable foundation for the BuySwap ecosystem. ## Key Takeaway > **BST is the utility layer of BuySwap, powering trading, AI services, ecosystem access, and future community governance.** --- # Agent Instructions This documentation is published with GitBook.
