The token that secures private, green compute
$GROVE pays for compute, bonds node operators, and captures protocol fees via buyback & burn. Token pressure scales with real usage, not hype.

How $GROVE connects to the tech
Fair question: does the token do anything, or is it just attached? Here's where $GROVE plugs into the protocol, and why the network runs fine in USDC without it.
Calls are priced in USDC, with a fee discount for paying in $GROVE. Pay-per-call is in market testing now, the rail works either way, the token just makes it cheaper.
Operators are paid in USDC for verified work and earn $GROVE on top, weighted by how clean their energy is. The token is what pulls renewable GPUs onto the network.
Operators post a $GROVE bond. A forged privacy or carbon proof gets slashed, the token is the collateral that makes every certificate cost something to fake.
Protocol fees, whether a job paid in USDC or $GROVE, buy back and burn $GROVE. Real usage drives it, not speculation.
$GROVE votes on the carbon standards, fee splits, and model whitelists the network runs on.
You never need $GROVE to use Grove, every feature works in USDC. The token is the layer that secures honest work and rewards clean compute. Utility first; the token is what makes it self-sustaining.
Value-capture flywheel
More usage burns more supply and locks more in staking, token pressure scales directly with real compute demand.
