# RWAL - Governance Token

## What Is RWAL?

RWAL is the **governance and utility token** that gives the community new ways to participate in the Lendr Protocol. Holders can:

* **Vote** on protocol upgrades, new vault listings, and fee parameters.
* **Backstop** – in extreme events, a portion of staked RWAL can recapitalize vaults after the SAFU Insurance fund.
* **Earn** - In exchange for insuring the protocol, stakers earn a share of all RWA performance fees.
