### BETA Token Information

BETA is Beta Finance’s **native utility token** and has the following **current** and **planned** functions:

* **Staking incentives:** BETA token holders will be able to stake their tokens on the protocol and act as a backstop for covering shortfall events. BETA holders who stake their tokens will receive a portion of the revenue generated by the protocol.
* **Liquidity mining:** Liquidity providers can [**stake their assets into the lending pools**](https://betafinance.gitbook.io/betafinance/lending) to enable borrowing and short selling. To incentivize these providers given opportunity costs, liquidity providers will be **eligible to receive BETA tokens through a liquidity mining program**, adjusted based on a user’s relative contribution and additional parameters.
* **Governance:** BETA token holders will be able to **participate and vote in the governance process** of the platform. Through governance, users can influence and **modify product features and key parameters** of Beta Finance. This will enable BETA token holders to influence the direction of the protocol's development.
