# LiquidChain Native Token

#### $LIFI and the Future of LiquidChain

Looking ahead, if **LiquidChain** (the Layer-1 network) is launched, **$LIFI** is expected to become its **native coin** or be **closely linked** to it.\
This means:

* **$LIFI** (or a variant of it) would be used to **pay transaction fees** on LiquidChain.
* **Validators would stake $LIFI** to secure the network, making staking even more central to the ecosystem.
* **All tokenization on LiquidChain** would use $LIFI for fees and could require holding some amount of $LIFI to **deploy smart contracts**.

This evolution would effectively extend $LIFI’s utility:

* From being a **utility token** (similar to an ERC-20/SPL token) on Solana,
* To becoming the **main gas token and security asset** of a **dedicated blockchain** for compliant real-world asset (RWA) tokenization.

As network usage grows, this transition **could significantly increase demand** and **strengthen the long-term value** of $LIFI.
