# The KONE Token

## KONE Token Utility

KONE serves three primary functions:

* **Earn:** Users earn KONE by installing and maintaining Karrier One DePIN devices that provide network coverage, handle data traffic, and meet quality of service benchmarks.
* **Govern:** KONE acts as a governance token, enabling holders to participate in the Karrier DAO. Token holders can vote on proposals, stake tokens, or delegate their votes to trusted representatives.
* **Spend:** Within the Karrier ecosystem, KONE is used for network fees, device transactions, service payments, and potentially even for decentralized applications (dApps) built on top of the network.

This multi-functional use ensures KONE has both practical utility and intrinsic value within the Karrier One ecosystem.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://faq.karrier.one/token-faq/tokenomics/the-kone-token.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
