# Autonomi Network Tokens Autonomi Network Tokens are the oil of the Network's economy. Users uploading data to the Network **pay in these tokens**, and people contributing their spare resources to the network are **rewarded with them** for doing so. It's is a utility token that allows for the autonomous network to function without human intervention - a dynamic global market for secure data storage and communication. Listings vary by venue: on decentralized exchanges the token typically appears as `ANT`, while some centralized exchanges list it as `AUTONOMI`. ## Key Features * **Ethereum wallet** addresses can receive Autonomi Network Tokens. * **Earnings are paid in Autonomi Tokens.** When running a node, your [earnings](/token/using-autonomi-tokens/earning.md) will be paid by the network to your Ethereum wallet address * Autonomi tokens **work on the Arbitrum blockchain**. This is what is known as a Ethereum L2 blockchain, which makes faster and more cost effective. * **You'll need a** [**compatible wallet**](/token/using-autonomi-tokens/holding/compatible-wallets.md) that works Arbitrum in order to see them. * To transfer them, or make payments for data you will also need a small amount of **Arbitrum Ethereum** in your wallet for Gas Fees. * They are **divisible down to 18 decimal places**, so you can pay for small amounts of data, and receive tiny transactions. ## Tokenomics and Design If you're interested in the economic design of the Network, and understanding more about how Autonomi tokens function within it you can read all the detail in the [Autonomi White Paper ](https://autonomi.com/whitepaper)and [Network Documentation](broken://spaces/T1VY0u5KuOsTpycHpSka). --- # 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.
