### At its core are four unique and distinct types of tokens:&#x20;

* [**XW3**](https://xircus-web3-protocol.gitbook.io/xircus-web3-protocol/introduction/tokenomics/xw3-native-token) (Native Token) is used for rewards and payments.&#x20;
* [**XPS**](https://xircus-web3-protocol.gitbook.io/xircus-web3-protocol/introduction/tokenomics/xps-xircuspunks) (XircusPunks) is used for governance.&#x20;
* [**XST**](https://xircus-web3-protocol.gitbook.io/xircus-web3-protocol/introduction/tokenomics/xst-xircusskins) (XircusSkins) serves as designer-driven templates.&#x20;
* [**XMD**](https://xircus-web3-protocol.gitbook.io/xircus-web3-protocol/introduction/tokenomics/xmd-xircusmodules) (XircusModules) serves as additional components crafted by developers.

Every token possesses its unique function, purpose, and utility within the ecosystem. While there's a primary token currency, the others function as NFTs. They harmoniously complement each other, allowing users the freedom to select based on their specific needs and roles within the Xircus platform.&#x20;

> Whether you hold a single token or a collection, benefits and rewards await.

Together, these tokens drive collaboration, expansion opportunities, and innovation, building a closely connected web3 community space!
