# Utility There is no value to a token unless it has real utility. Contrary to common belief, the ability to receive more tokens (staking) or the use of other novel tokenomics does not provide real utility. Utility can come in different forms, such as services, fun experiences, or influence, but ultimately it's the ability to exchange the token for something of real value (much like you use your fiat currency).

Merchandise

$MYNT will be the utility token of degen.store, where you can spend your tokens to buy real merchandise from most NFT projects.

NFTs

$MYNT will be accepted currency for the Dreki launchpad, future Viking Squad drops, CardanoThor drops, and other partner NFT drops.

DAO Governance

$MYNT is the primary governance token of the Viking Hoard investment fund, where holders can use their tokens to influence how the fund is run.

Events

Certain community events will require $MYNT payments to participate, such as special raffles and certain Viking Raids.

Local Economy

Pay or tip fellow NFT Vikings easily with $MYNT in the community Discord server.
