**$TIDE** is the core utility and reward token used across the TideFlow ecosystem. It powers platform incentives, governance, and community ownership.

Users can convert **$TIDE** into **$xTIDE** at a 1:1 ratio through the Token Swapper contract. $xTIDE will grant access to enhanced platform benefits like rakebacks, free wager games, and revenue distribution via the buyback-and-distribute model.

The **$TIDE** token is slated to launch in Q1 2025.
