# Role of VAPE in our ecosystem

VAPE’s token economy is being designed to grow, adapt, and evolve with our ecosystem — but the initial design and deployment will serve multiple initial functions for our community, specifically relative to VaporDEX.

1. Governance for VaporDEX and VAPE
2. VaporDEX Fee Harvesting

It’s also important to note that this is just the initial integration of VAPE into VaporDEX and VaporFi. We expect to continue to integrate VAPE into other critical and memorable value experiences (e.g., Stratosphere). These additional integrations will come organically as our services expand.

Let’s look at both initial integrations.
