The $BIST token is envisioned to be a main form of incentives and rewards within the ecosystem. As Bistroo represents an agnostic ecosystem, payment with Fiat or other cryptocurrencies will always remain possible.

The platform generates revenue through commission, subscriptions, ads and data sharing.
