$TIA

TOKEN HOLDERS OWN AND GOVERN THE PROTOCOL
The total supply at Genesis was 1,000,000,000 TIA with inflation equal to 8% in the first year, decreasing 10% per year until reaching an inflation floor of 1.5%, annually. TIA token holders own and govern the protocol. Token holders can vote on future platform development and change proposals.

Users and Layer-2 Rollups use TIA to pay for transaction fees and token holders who stake their TIA tokens will receive staking rewards. Staking TIA on native platforms yields between 15% to 17% annually, minus fees, to stakers. According to Growjo, Celestia reported a revenue over $6.3M and had more than 55 employees, implying revenues to be around $113k per employee. Celestia makes revenues from transaction fees, where users and partners pay fees in TIA tokens as gas fees.
