ADI Token Utility

The $ADI token is the core utility token of the ADI Chain ecosystem, designed to support both Web3-native and enterprise-grade use cases. Its functions are explicitly tied to network operations and ecosystem incentives:

1. Native Gas & Operational Utility

$ADI is the primary gas token for all transactions on ADI Chain (L2) and its associated L3 domains. All smart contract executions, dApp interactions, and transfers require $ADI for gas fees. This is enabled by zkStack’s Custom Gas Token capability, eliminating the need for ETH management.

2. Medium of Exchange

$ADI acts as the settlement currency within the ecosystem, facilitating payments between enterprises, developers, validators, and users.

3. Staking & Yield

Token holders can stake $ADI into a treasury-backed pool to earn predictable, non-inflationary rewards. This model avoids inflationary minting and supports long-term token value preservation.
