The Status Network Token is the native ERC-20 utility token of Status Network, an open-source messaging platform. SNT plays a key role in Status' decentralized platform governance, as any Status community stakeholder can use SNT to vote on network proposals. With each vote the SNT committed is cloned into a separate decision token that is counted. As a result, while the amount of SNT tokens a user holds at that time of the vote represents that user's voting power for that decision, it does not cost any SNT to participate.
