EGLD, the native token of the MultiversX (formerly Elrond) blockchain, powers a highly scalable and efficient Layer-1 network designed for next-generation Web3 applications. The chain uses Adaptive State Sharding and Secure Proof-of-Stake (SPoS) to achieve high throughput, low latency, and very low transaction costs. This makes MultiversX suitable for DeFi, NFTs, gaming, and enterprise-level decentralized applications.
EGLD itself is used for transaction fees, staking, smart-contract execution, and network governance. Holders can stake EGLD to secure the chain and earn rewards, participate in decision-making, and use it within the growing MultiversX ecosystem. In short, EGLD enables a fast, scalable, and developers-friendly environment for modern blockchain use cases.
