CLEAR is the new DAO-approved governance and utility token of Everclear, replacing NEXT through a 1:1 migration. CLEAR is deployed as an xERC20 (crosschain native) token. Learn more about the migration process.

How is CLEAR used?

CLEAR serves multiple functions within the Everclear ecosystem:

Governance

CLEAR holders can participate in governing the Everclear DAO, which is responsible for allocating funding for the ongoing development of the protocol.

Staking and Fee Sharing

Holders can stake CLEAR to participate in protocol governance and earn a share of protocol fees. Through the vote-bonding mechanism, stakers help direct incentives to where liquidity is needed most in the ecosystem. Learn more about tokenomics.
