# Gas Token ### DUNE is the primary gas token for the Alpha Dune Network On the Alpha Dune Network, DUNE serves as the native gas token, powering every transaction and interaction across the network. Whether you're sending tokens, interacting with smart contracts, or using decentralized applications (dApps) within the Alpha Dune ecosystem, DUNE is the fuel that enables it all. To participate in the network, users need DUNE to cover transaction fees, ensuring smooth and efficient operation. This makes DUNE essential for engaging with the full range of activities, from decentralized applications to the evolving Web3 ecosystem powered by Alpha Dune. --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
