### BotChain Blockchain Tokens

In addition to $BCN on Ethereum, the BotChain blockchain itself will feature its own native tokens. These tokens are **to be announced (TBA)** and will operate with the following characteristics:

* **Mintable with no hard cap**, designed for testnet functionality rather than financial speculation
* Primarily used as **test tokens** for recording events, issuing commands, and interacting with smart contracts on the BotChain blockchain
* Hold **no real monetary value**, but serve as technical credits that allow experimentation and system operation
* In the future, as testnet activity grows, these tokens may become scarcer and could hold value as **Ecosystem access tokens**, representing resource limits or usage rights rather than currency.
