From my understanding, dapps that are built on the EOS software have the ability to be used for free. I'm confused about the utility of the EOS tokens. Its quite vague in the website FAQ. Whats the purpose of EOS tokens, from its trading value?
Your % of EOS tokens will allocate you the same % of the network resources. So if you own 1% of the toekns you will have access to 1% of the network resources.
Network resources are the bandwidth, storage, and computing power.
