# Token Utility Nia offers multiple layers of utility within the Somnia Exchange ecosystem. Its most important function is governance, but it also supports gameplay mechanics, energy generation, and reward distribution. Main utilities include: * Governance\ Nia holders can participate in the Somnia Exchange DAO, create proposals, and vote on decisions that shape the platform. * Energy Generation\ Energy needed for gameplay tools is earned by providing LP or staking Nia. This adds a strategic layer to participation and rewards long term holders. * Staking Rewards\ By staking Nia, users not only gain access to governance and energy production but also protect their position from inflation. * Burn Mechanisms\ In game actions will involve Nia burn processes to help control token supply. * Game Events and Community Engagement\ Nia will be used in farm campaigns, quests, and other social or competitive events in the ecosystem. --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
