KCS(KuCoin Token) is the native token and underlying fuel of KCC.&#x20;

Similar to gas on Ethereum, KCS is the transaction fuel on KCC. Also, KCS acts as a governance token, holding KCS gives you the right to make your voice heard and participate in KCC on-chain governance.&#x20;

Currently, KCS holders can stake their KCS to validators and share KCC gas. [Click here to learn more about KCC Node Staking](https://staking.kcc.io/).
