# Token Utility & Incentives

$ROOM is the native utility token of Backroom. It powers the access layer, the trading dynamics, and the reward engine behind the protocol.

1. **Access to Information**\
   $ROOM is used to buy Backroom Keys - your access to private intel streams. No $ROOM, no entry.
2. **Speculative Trading**\
   Keys are dynamic assets. Their price is determined by demand via AMM-style curves. $ROOM is the currency that moves them.
3. **Creator Rewards**\
   5% of every Key trade is distributed to the original Room creator - all paid in $ROOM. More trading = more earnings.

#### **Ecosystem Growth**

$ROOM funds and fuels future features like performance-based ranking, info staking, and premium tier features gating.
