# Tokenomics

**Token Symbol: $EPT**

### Utility

* Rewarding Data Contributions

$EPT is primarily used to reward users for contributing valuable environmental data. Whether users are uploading air quality data, submitting weather forecasts, or participating in validation, they earn $EPT tokens as compensation for their efforts.

The more accurate and frequent a user’s data contributions, the more tokens they can earn, encouraging continuous engagement with the platform.

* Incentivizing Weather Predictions

Users are also rewarded for accurate weather predictions. $EPT tokens are granted based on the accuracy of their forecasts, with higher rewards for predictions that closely match real-world conditions.

This creates a gamified system where users are motivated to improve their forecasting skills and earn higher token rewards.

* Platform Governance

$EPT tokens give holders the right to participate in the EcoPulse DAO governance. Token holders can submit proposals, vote on changes to the platform, and help shape the future direction of the project.

* Eco-Project Donations

A portion of the $EPT tokens earned through platform activities is allocated for supporting environmental initiatives. Users can choose to donate their tokens to various eco-projects, such as tree planting, pollution reduction, and sustainability research.

This feature helps tie the success of the EcoPulse platform to real-world environmental benefits, creating a positive feedback loop where user contributions directly support global sustainability efforts.

* Staking and Yield Farming

$EPT tokens can be staked to earn additional rewards. Stakers help secure the network and contribute to the platform’s long-term stability. In return, they earn $EPT tokens as staking rewards.
