# Token Utility

$BB - The economic unit of the BaseBrawl protocol.

The BaseBrawl token is designed for optimal utility within the BaseBrawl ecosystem.  As the protocol's core unit of account, $BB is required to perform a variety of actions - some of which **permanently burn $BB from the supply**. 

As BaseBrawl strives to be as inclusive of all demographics, regardless of wallet size (our size is not size). Over time the $BB required for performing actions within the protocol will vary depending on decentralized governance outcomes dictating these fees. Initially these values will be set by the protocol founding team to maintain a low barrier of entry as the community grows.

A protocol 'take rate' is included in a variety of actions, designed to grow the BaseBrawl Treasury for future growth and development, again - as decided by the implemented governance framework. Some actions may include a percentage mix of both burning and a 'take rate' of $BB tokens.
