# 💹WAL as Gas Token

WAL functions as the foundational gas token within the Winalot Chain ecosystem, introducing a groundbreaking method for handling transaction fees. A specific portion of WAL utilized in each transaction is eliminated, instituting a deflationary mechanism that augments token scarcity and its long-term valuation.

Within the Winalot Chain, it's feasible to create diverse iGaming platforms that employ WAL as the medium for gas fees. Should these platforms decide to bear the gas fees for their users, they can continuously replenish the smart contract with WAL, simplifying the process for their users. As users partake in gaming activities, the WAL expended in these transactions is incinerated, thus bolstering scarcity and enhancing the token's value proposition for its holders.

This inventive application of WAL as the gas token is in harmony with the platform's dedication to fostering a decentralized, self-reliant, and contractionary ecosystem for the iGaming sector. WAL occupies a central role in motivating platform operators to facilitate user engagement and fosters a robust token economy.
