# 6.1 Token Utility

A. Gas Abstraction Fuel While users do not need to hold ETH, the underlying network requires gas. $ACCESS is used by Solvers (Paymasters) to pay for transaction inclusion. A portion of every transaction fee generated by the Fog Pool is used to buy back and burn $ACCESS.

B. Governance & Risk Management The DAO controls the risk parameters of the Fog Pool. $ACCESS holders vote on:

* Whitelisting assets for the Fog (e.g., adding rETH or DAI).
* Setting the baseline yield strategies.
* Protocol take-rates.

C. Staking (The Security Module) Holders can stake $ACCESS to insure the Fog Pool. in the event of a smart contract failure or slashing event, staked $ACCESS acts as the first tranche of loss absorption. In return, stakers receive the majority of protocol revenue.
