# 4.4 Native Currency of SatoshiChain: The $SC Token

In addition to $SAT, SatoshiChain introduces a native cryptocurrency - **the SatoshiChain token ($SC)**. This community-focused token serves as a primary governance token for the SatoshiChain blockchain and comes with various use cases. It's worth noting that the entirety of the **$SC** tokens supply will be pre-mined upon the release of the mainnet. The protocol will simultaneously mint a small amount of $SAT (100,000 tokens) to serve as fuel for signing the initial bridging gas fees.
