## The Bistroo Protocol

[**Q1-2026:** Update regarding $BIST](https://bistroo.medium.com/update-regarding-bistroo-bist-22f7307c22a9)

The Bistroo ecosystem is organised through its e-commerce network. This protocol integrates various stakeholders to facilitate seamless direct interactions within its food ordering infrastructure. \
\
The $BIST token is a multi-functional utility token that will be used as the incentivising factor between all users that interact with the protocol. The objective of $BIST is to offer an easy and direct method of rewards and settlements for users engaging within the Bistroo Ecosystem.
