# Token Design

## Objectives

The REYA token is embedded into the broader Reya architecture in order to satisfy the following objectives:<br>

1. **Network security**: secure the network through sustainable incentive structures for the network of operators required to run Reya Execution Nodes
2. **Fuel economic activity**: align the activity of the Reya Protocol with REYA and ETH holders
3. **Accountable, Ethereum‑native governance**: ensure sREYA holders receive additional benefits within Reya DEX alongside governance rights<br>

In the following sections, we go deeper into mechanisms and flows that implement these objectives.
