# Tokenomics

**What is REAP?**

REAP is Releap Protocol’s native token that is deeply tied into the functioning of the Protocol. Users require $REAP to vote on governance decisions or take part in Releap’s curation model. Curation nodes can only be added to the protocol by staking the required amount of $REAP tokens and curation operators are rewarded in $REAP tokens as well.

Releap Protocol aims to give creators the freedom to retain ownership over the connections they have built with their audience by creating a fully customizable, user-owned social graph.

**Token Release Schedule**

$REAP token has varying vesting periods depending on the allocation. The portion allocated for the team, community and ecosystem development will be bound by a longer vesting period along with some cliffs to assure token holders of our commitment towards building and sustaining the protocol.&#x20;

## 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.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.releap.io/reap-token/tokenomics.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
