# Token Utility #### Payment for Services CURE tokens serve as the primary medium of exchange within the Cureum ecosystem. Users can pay for a range of healthcare services, including telemedicine consultations, access to electronic health records (EHR), and more, using CURE tokens. This ensures efficient, transparent, and secure transactions within the ecosystem. #### Staking CURE tokens offer the opportunity for token holders to stake their assets. Staking involves locking a certain amount of CURE tokens to participate in the network's proof-of-stake consensus mechanism. In return, participants receive rewards in the form of additional CURE tokens. Staking not only helps secure the network but also offers a way for token holders to earn passive income, encouraging long-term engagement with the ecosystem. #### Curenft CURE tokens open the door to the creation and ownership of healthcare-related NFTs. Patients can tokenize specific health data assets as NFTs, offering them for sale on blockchain-based marketplaces. Researchers and institutions can access unique datasets by purchasing healthcare-related NFTs, contributing to the advancement of medical research. --- # 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.
