The $SWOP token is the native utility and incentive layer of the Swop ecosystem.

It powers and rewards the protocol through:

-Staking for Discoverability: Stake $SWOP to boost visibility of posts, products, or profiles

-Fee Discounts: Reduced fees on mints, redemptions, and swaps

-Access Control: Gate premium templates, analytics, or advanced SmartSite tools

-Governance (future): Vote on protocol upgrades, partner templates, and funding rounds

$SWOP aligns creators, users, and developers through shared ownership of the interaction layer itself.
