# Token Introduction

The Triathon ecosystem will adopt a dual token economic model, balancing different functions and uses in the economic system by using two different tokens. The utility token $GEON will be used for in-app payments and user incentives within the Triathon ecosystem, while the governance token $GROW will be used to participate in project governance and community building. Triathon aims to provide more options and incentives for users through the dual token model.

### Correlation between GEON and GROW

Ecosystem users can earn GEON by training the AI through labeling vulnerabilities or staking SHIP to provide detection capabilities. $GEON holders can earn governance tokens GROW through staking mining, or directly exchange tokens from ecosystem partner projects for GROW at a certain rate.
