WhiteBIT Token (WBT): Everything you need to know
Its purpose
WhiteBIT Token (WBT) is the native token and a full-fledged infrastructure product of the WhiteBIT ecosystem. It was launched in 2022 on the Ethereum (ERC-20) and Tron (TRC-20) blockchains.
WBT is intended for use on the WhiteBIT exchange and other WhiteBIT services. Token holders receive benefits for owning and holding WBT, including:
- Reduced trading fees;
- Referral rate increase;
- Cancellation of blockchain fees (free ETH and ERC-20 withdrawal);
- Free AML checks.
The developers plan to make WBT not only a valuable and reliable asset, but also a platform for blockchain startups. To maintain the cryptocurrency exchange's stability, a portion of WBT is used to finance funds for supporting and developing it. In 2023, the transition of WhiteBIT Token to its own blockchain is scheduled, with the potential of connecting to DEX, Layer 2, metaverses, and cross-chain networks.
WhiteBIT utilizes internal and external tools to promote WBT and bolster loyalty among its holders. These tools include rewards for activity on the platform, trading tournaments, airdrops, and collaborations with influencers.
