# $SKY Utility

###

<figure><img src="/files/E2p5ItbkaiS96IfiGW6v" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

$SKY is the economic engine that powers the entire Skynet ecosystem and rewards everyone who contributes to making autonomous agents mainstream.

#### **🔄 The $SKY Flywheel**

**How Value Flows Through the Ecosystem:**

**PAY/STAKE** → Users pay $SKY to create premium agents, or stake $SKY for free access with limits

**EARN** → Successful agents generate $USDC revenue through ACP → Platform takes a small revenue share

**SCALE** → Agent success stories attract more builders → Increased demand for $SKY tokens and platform tools

**UPGRADE** → Platform revenue funds $SKY buybacks → Tool creators earn $SKY for every usage of their integrations

This creates a **self-reinforcing cycle** where success breeds more success. Every profitable agent makes the platform more valuable, which attracts more builders, which creates more successful agents. It's a flywheel that gets stronger with each turn.\
**Value Capture Mechanisms**

## 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.skynetxbt.ai/documentation/usdsky-token-and-roadmap/usdsky-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.
