ARKENSTON is a governance token that grants its holder the right to participate in the decision-making in the STON.fi protocol, granting you access to DAO voting.

Your voting Power 🗳️ Is determined by the amount of funded ARKENSTON.

4️⃣ In addition, you will receive GEMSTON directly into your wallet, which can be transferred, traded, or held. GEMSTON is an engagement token used to incentivize active participation in the STON.fi protocol. This is an innovative way to engage STON.fi users and encourage participation in the governance process of the project.
