# BABEL Token

## What is BABEL?

BABEL is the secondary token issued by the BABEL protocol. It captures the fee revenue that is generated by the system and incentivizes early adopters and Frontend Operators. BABEL rewards will only accrue to Stability Providers — i.e. users who deposit LAI to the Stability Pool, frontends who facilitate those deposits, and liquidity providers of the LAI/BNB Pancake LP pool. As technical rewards, they are based on a preprogrammed functionality of the protocol and not on a claim towards BABEL or any third party.&#x20;

### What is BABEL's max supply?&#x20;

BABEL has a max supply of 100,000,000 tokens.
