# Functions & Use

* Platform Governance: The main function of EPN tokens is as a governance tool, allowing holders to vote on critical decisions such as protocol improvements, liquidity pool adjustments, and reward distribution.
* Incentive Mechanism: EPN tokens will reward users for their participation, including staking, restaking, liquidity mining, and other activities.
* Liquidity Mining Rewards: On the Epipen platform, users can earn EPN tokens by providing liquidity, staking, or participating in other ecosystem activities. This increases both user returns and platform activity.
* Revenue Sharing: Some of Epipen’s platform-generated revenue will be shared according to EP token holdings, providing additional financial returns for long-term holders.

**Value Drivers for EPN**

* Platform Growth & Ecosystem Expansion: As the Epipen platform grows and the ecosystem expands, the demand for EPN tokens is expected to increase, driving the token’s value.
* Governance Power: Since EPN tokens grant governance rights, their value is directly tied to the platform’s development and decision-making.
* Deflationary Mechanism: To maintain the token’s scarcity and value, Epipen may implement periodic buybacks or token burn mechanisms to reduce circulating supply.
