# The BTRST Token

### About BTRST 

The Braintrust token launched on the Ethereum mainnet on September 1, 2020 using the ERC-20 standard. The token powers the entire decentralized network's governance, incentivizing the community to build the network through referring clients and talent. It has a fixed supply of 250 million tokens, meaning the total number of tokens in circulation can never surpass that amount. 

Ownership and governance in the Braintrust Network is represented by the BTRST token. The token is used as an incentive to reward our community for building the decentralized network, inviting and vetting talent, and referring clients.

(Ticker: BTRST, Standard: ERC-20, Max Supply: 250,000,000)
