# Nibiru (NIBI) Token
Nibiru tokens, commonly called "NIBI" tokens, are the native cryptocurrency of the Nibiru blockchain. NIBI tokens play a pivotal role in proof-of-stake consensus and decentralized governance, and they're used to pay gas and include transactions in a block. .
# Core Token Utility (NIBI)
Consensus (Proof-of-Stake): NIBI tokens power the network’s Proof-of-Stake consensus and decentralized governance, a process by which NIBI stakers can decide on and bring about changes in the network.
NIBI is also utilized to secure the network and pay for computation in the form of gas fees, essential for facilitating the creation of new blocks on the chain. Consequently, NIBI is "Ether" in the Nibiru EVM.
Token holders who stake or delegate their tokens to a validator operator for purposes of securing the network and achieving consensus may receive staking rewards.
