POLK Tokenomics & Distribution Schedule

Utility

POLK is the utility token of the Polkamarkets Protocol. POLK ensures the security, resolution and curation of prediction markets on Polkamarkets. It enables the decentralization of the Protocol, making it impractical for a single entity to control the markets.
