# $FANS Token Utility

**Fansland caters to a diverse ecosystem of users:**

*  **Creators** leverage the platform's tools to develop, publish, and monetize their AI applications.
*  **Consumers** access and engage with the AI applications built by Creators on Fansland.
*  **Patrons** identify and support promising AI applications and their creators.

These three distinct user segments interact with the $FANS token from their respective perspectives, collectively referred to as "users" in this sector.

1. **Membership Fees** - Users can pay subscription fees in $FANS to access premium, higher-quality AI tools or receive direct support.
2. **Advertising** – Users can spend $FANS to advertise AI Apps they create or support, increasing visibility on the Fansland platform.
3. **Collection** – Users can collect AI Apps created by others on the Fansland platform by paying in $FANS, and share in the profits generated during the collection period through $FANS or other reward mechanisms.
4. **Products/Services Compensation** - Users can charge a fee in $FANS when providing valuable services through AI Apps they create, requiring consumers to pay $FANS to get access. Alternatively, Fansland team may purchase data from users by paying $FANS.
5. **Governance Voting** - $FANS holders can participate in governance voting for 1) future value-sharing models and 2) major strategic initiatives within the Fansland ecosystem.
6. **Platform Fees** - For the aforementioned activities, Fansland platform may charge a service fee in $FANS.

## 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.fansland.io/about-fansland/usdfans-tokenomics/usdfans-token-utility.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.
