# Token Utility

1. **Investment:** To invest in a game (via crowdinvesting), an investor needs to purchase and lock USDT tokens in the smart contract. In return, they receive an NFT confirming their right to future profits.
2. **Participation in Lending:** Developers can use Nudix tokens as collateral to receive USDT from the platform. For example, for marketing or payroll needs. Initially, the lending module will be in a test phase, but it will later allow developers to receive loans in stablecoins or Nudix tokens (e.g., for future project development, intellectual property, or other assets).
3. **Progressive Staking System:** The staking system is based on a progressive model with thresholds and accelerated reward growth, encouraging users to lock tokens for extended periods.
4. **Nudix serves as a native payment method** within the platform for purchasing games, DLC, and in-game services. As more premium titles launch on Nudix, demand for the token naturally scales with player adoption.

**Privileges:** To access special privileges (higher limits, early access), investors, users, and developers can acquire and hold Nudix tokens (e.g., to qualify for a higher “tier”).
