# $OSMI Token

The OSMI Token ($OSMI) is integral to the OSMI ecosystem, serving as the primary currency for all transactions within it. This includes facilitating payments for AI applications, inference, image generation, and other GPU tasks.

#### **Essential Roles of $OSMI** <a href="#key-functions-of-ath" id="key-functions-of-ath"></a>

* **Facilitating Transactions -** $OSMI is used to pay for various services on the $OSMI network. The token acts as a means of exchange between users, developers, and other stakeholders within the ecosystem.
* **Ecosystem Governance -** The $OSMI network and ecosystem will evolve over time and $OSMI holders will be able to participate by voting on proposals and decisions.
* **Incentivizing Security and Quality Interactions** - $OSMI will be used to provide incentives to participate in various activities that promote the ecosystem's growth and development.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.osmi.ai/introduction/token.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
