# $ENOX Utility

<figure><img src="/files/5dS1pnKMKHKtuDqnRCpt" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

### The $ENOX token powers access and privacy (feature) across the Equinox AI ecosystem. It serves both operational and defensive roles, rewarding usage while also allowing users to control their exposure.

***

#### Access Utility

• **Tool Access**: Some modules in the Equinox dApp require $ENOX holdings or one-time fees in $ENOX to unlock advanced features.\
• **API Credits**: Developers and partners can stake $ENOX for access to bulk data APIs or analytics endpoints.

***

#### Privacy & Protection

• **Cloaking Feature**: Users can permanently remove their wallets and social data from Equinox analysis by burning a fixed amount of $ENOX.\
• **Opt-Out Logic**: Once burned, that wallet ID and linked alias sets are excluded from scoring and graph correlation.

```solidity
function cloakAddress(address user) external {
  require(balanceOf(user) >= optOutAmount, "Insufficient ENOX");
  _burn(user, optOutAmount);
  cloaked[user] = true;
}
```

***

#### Governance & Network Expansion

• **DAO Voting**: Future implementation allows $ENOX holders to vote on new features, integrations, and platform policies.\
• **Incentive Programs**: Data contributors, index validators, and tool builders may be rewarded in $ENOX.

**$ENOX is more than a token—it acts as a permission and privacy switch for users navigating Equinox AI. Whether opting out of scans, unlocking premium tooling, or participating in governance, the token ensures alignment between utility and user control.**
