# TOKENOMICS

SHIFT is the governance token of the Shift DeFi protocol. It enables users to participate in key decisions shaping the protocol and rewards active involvement in the ecosystem.

The token design addresses a common limitation in DeFi — the lack of meaningful utility for governance tokens. SHIFT introduces a clear value flow from protocol revenue to participants, creating a more functional and aligned model.
