## Funarcade Token (FAT) is our native token.

FAT is Funarcade's native token on the Ethereum chain. Its uses are mainly:

* **Currency:** Play Funarcade products using FAT tokens
* **Trading with other tokens:** Once FAT goes live, we will be setting up a FAT-ETH pool for users to swap into/out of FAT. FAT will be the main token that interacts with other tokens.
* **Governance:** Token holders may in future be involved in project decision making

**FAT has a fixed supply of 100,000,000 (100m).** No more will ever be minted.

## Escrowed-Funarcade Token (esFAT) is our reward token.

esFAT is the “escrowed” version of our FAT token. It's main purpose is to be given as incentives to our users.

* **Conversion from FAT:** Users can convert FAT to esFAT at a 1:1 ratio instantly. However, to convert esFAT back to FAT will require users to lock their tokens up for 7 days. ([why?](https://app.gitbook.com/o/cKUMrLB342tiel1Q8MhH/s/FFhCqjcnRaAb4AakTmgk/~/changes/34/tokenomics/why-esfat))
* **Staking for rewards:** Users will need to stake esFAT tokens in the staking pool to receive rewards. As discussed in [Join the house](https://funarcade.gitbook.io/funarcade-docs/introduction/bringing-web3-into-games/join-the-house), esFAT stakers get 30% of the profit pool from the platform. It is the most fuss-free way to earn #realyield. &#x20;
* **As a reward token:** Profit sharing from FAT losses in the casino will be distributed in esFAT.

{% hint style="danger" %}
EsFAT and staking will not be available at token listing. \
\
EsFAT will be usable as a play currency once the new reward program is live. Using it will accrue bonus Reward Points
{% endhint %}

We discuss more on how the token is distributed, and how you can accumulate FAT tokens.
