The $MEGA Token

Purpose and Design

The growth of Ecolink's verified merchant base represents our north star metric. Every merchant that joins strengthens the network's value, attracts more consumers, and reinforces the standard. This, in turn, attracts even more merchants—creating a powerful network effect. ECO (ticker: $MEGA) is our native utility token designed specifically to accelerate this growth by empowering consumers to actively participate in merchant discovery and verification.

Through the token, community members can influence what matters to them—whether that's pushing for microplastic testing in beauty products, demanding supply chain transparency in fashion, establishing new verification standards for emerging industries, and even determining which product categories deserve greater shopping rewards (think Amex rotating rewards–but community determined).
