# INV

INV is the governance and value accrual token of Inverse Finance. Holding INV gives you voting power over protocol decisions, and staking INV lets you earn protocol revenue and allows for using your tokens as collateral for borrowing. This makes INV holders the owners and decision-makers of the protocol.
