Initially, SKL is staked to earn new issuance (“inflationary”) subsidies. It means that the SKL supply will increase and stakers will capture the newly issued SKL. Generally, you will earn around 11% annually on your staked SLK, but that can change. <br><br> Stakers will also capture fees from network transactions, so as SKL transaction volume increases, SKL stakers will earn more than new issuance subsidies. The SKL also gives stakers the right to vote on policy decisions for how the SKALE will operate and distribute treasury funds. The main drivers of the SKL’s value could be more than transaction fees. SKL holders should be able to extract value related to the “assets under management” that the SKALE secures (via products like DeFi). Owning staked SKL is ownership of the SKL, that entitles SKL stakers to set/change the rules of the SKALE network.
