Token utility

Governance — KNIGHT tokens can be staked to vote on important decisions such as new platform features, community development, and more. As a Decentralized Autonomous Organization, Citadao is highly dependent on KNIGHT token holders to guide the project into the future.

Real estate ownership — Two percent of all real estate listed via Citadao platform will be owned by the DAO itself. Owning KNIGHT is a simple way to gain broad and diversified exposure to real estate on-chain.
