### Token Utility

**Universal Gas Framework Integration**

TYCHI tokens serve as the primary gas currency within Tychi Wallet's Universal Gas Framework, enabling seamless cross-chain transactions without users needing to hold native tokens for each blockchain. When users perform transactions across different networks through Tychi Wallet, TYI tokens are automatically converted to cover gas fees on the destination chain, simplifying the multi-chain experience and eliminating the complexity of managing multiple gas tokens across various ecosystems.
