# Utility FC provides three core utilities within the Unich Network: * **Participation & commitment**: FC allows users to show their level of participation and long-term commitment to the Unich Network through mechanisms such as staking or token locking. Holding and using FC expands access to dApps, programs, and opportunities across the ecosystem, while linking individual participation to the network’s sustainable growth. * **Governance**: FC serves as the governance token of the Unich Network. Each FC represents voting power, allowing holders to propose and vote on decisions related to the network’s direction, policies, and resource allocation. This enables committed individuals and communities to take part directly in shaping the network’s development. * **Ecosystem incentives & long-term growth**: FC is the foundation for incentive mechanisms across the Unich Network ecosystem. These resources are used to encourage behaviors that create long-term value, including attracting and supporting developers, maintaining high-quality interactions, and building a strong, lasting community. --- # Agent Instructions: 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.
