# Token Utility

**What is the utility of the Fractal Token?**

The Fractal Token is called FB (Fractal Bitcoin).

It’s used to:

* Enable transaction fees
* Access to nodes and services
* Project launchpads
* Govern ecosystem grants and upgrades
* Bridge between recursive Fractal layers via the Fractal Elevator

**Why not just use BTC for fees?**

FB allows deterministic fee logic, avoids bridge risk, and ensures reliable settlement across recursive layers — all while preserving optional Bitcoin mainnet finality.

**Where can I get FB tokens?**

FB is available on exchanges like [HTX,](https://www.htx.com/tokens/fb/)[Gate.io](https://www.gate.com/price/fractal-bitcoin-fb), [KuCoin](https://www.kucoin.com/price/FB), and [Bybit](https://www.bybit.com/en/coin-price/fractal-bitcoin/), and can be earned via mining, ecosystem participation, or liquidity provision.
