# Utility

**Streamlining Transactions with PRF**

Within the Parifi ecosystem, the PRF token serves as a foundational element for both future governance through staked PRF and practical utility. A prime feature of the PRF token is its role in facilitating the payment of transaction fees, commonly referred to as 'gas costs', on the protocol. This functionality underscores our comprehensive approach to delivering a seamless user experience, positioning PRF as a multi-purpose asset within the ecosystem.

* **Efficient Transactions**: Users can leverage PRF tokens to pay transaction fees,  offering a cost-effective alternative to traditional gas fees typically paid in the native blockchain asset.
* **Unified Ecosystem**: PRF enables users to conduct transactions within the ecosystem using a single, unified token, enhancing economic efficiency.
* **Simplified User Experience**: With PRF as a medium for transaction fees, users can enjoy a streamlined interaction with the platform.

**Account Abstraction and Gas Token Elimination**

Parifi advances the DeFi user experience by employing an account abstraction layer, which not only simplifies interactions but also allows for the use of PRF tokens instead of the native blockchain gas token. This step offers several advantages:

* **Accessibility**: Users are not required to hold or manage multiple tokens, reducing complexity and enhancing the platform's accessibility.
* **No Native Gas Tokens Needed**: By eliminating the need for native chain gas tokens, Parifi users can interact with the protocol solely using PRF or collateral tokens like ETH and USDC, depending on their activities.
* **Ecosystem Engagement**: The use of PRF for gas costs encourages deeper engagement within the Parifi ecosystem, as users can seamlessly trade, stake, and participate in future governance.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.parifi.org/tokenomics/utility.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.
