# How does this help Angel Token increase in value? Dividends and demand. It's that simple. The price of any asset is based on supply & demand. The more people WANT an asset, the higher the price. ANGEL token only has a finite number of tokens available, and as people want them more, the price will go up. In case you missed the ANGEL token breakdown in our Erebus World whitepaper, we use ANGEL for several purposes: 1. As proof of membership to the Erebus platform, allowing you to participate in upcoming IDOs 2. As payment FOR upcoming IDOs, acting as a settlement currency for new projects to establish a foothold in the market 3. As payment for Erebus merchandise, giving it value in exchange for both digital and real-world goods. In addition, by simply hodling and staking your ANGEL tokens, you'll receive dividends based on the fees generated through the usage / trade of ANGEL token. In other words, the more we write and the bigger our audience grows, the more we all win. --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
