# Token Overview The $CABLE token is the core economic layer of the Cables ecosystem. It’s designed to reward participation, strengthen long-term alignment, and unlock future access across the platform. Users earn token allocation through activity, staking, referrals, vault participation, and ecosystem engagement, all tracked through a transparent Points and Tier system. These mechanics aren’t temporary. They define how value accrues across phases of the platform’s growth. As the ecosystem expands, $CABLE will be used for governance, staking boosts, ecosystem rewards, and access to protocol-level benefits. It’s a signal of position, contribution, and commitment. The token is how we scale Cables - together. --- # 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.
