Token Life
One might wonder why does AnonGram need a token, and we think there's a plethora of reasons:
Having $AGRAM as the native token of our solution backed by a deployer going forward will help with flexibility in terms of creating more smart contracts and further increasing the utilities. With the right governance in place, our team will no longer be in control, but the deployer will serve as a trusted entity in the blockchain.
Another good use case is that having a token tied to such an ecosystem, without our team applying censorship controls (ruining the whole purpose of this), users will be able to gain social status and prestige by making donations and being holders. In other words, there's a number of ways where a token serves a good role in providing social-proof trust.
Given that AnonGram heavily uses TOR, we will use part of our income and fees to donate to TOR network as their operation is vital to everyone's freedom.
More use cases to be examined
Users who contribute positively to the network, such as by verifying other users’ identities in a privacy-preserving way (e.g., through zero-knowledge proofs), or by participating in governance, could earn tokens as a reward.
To prevent spam or malicious proposals, voting power could be proportional to the number of tokens held or staked, ensuring that those with a greater stake in the network have a proportionate say in its future.
In the future, we might explore the possibility with our community of creating a marketplace and integrating it with $AGRAM. The token would be integrated into the marketplace within the application, where users can exchange goods, services, or additional security features (like extra storage or enhanced encryption) directly within the chat platform.
