# Tokenomics

STO is the native utility and governance token of the StakeStone ecosystem, designed to align long-term incentives across all stakeholders, including users, partners, and builders. The token supports key functionalities such as protocol governance, yield boosting, and access to bribe rewards through vote-escrowed STO (veSTO).

### Vesting&#x20;

StakeStone’s token distribution is designed to foster long-term alignment across contributors, investors, ecosystem participants, and community stakeholders. Each category follows a tailored vesting schedule to support sustainable protocol development and strategic growth.
