Multiple users questioned what actual use cases exist for the token beyond paying gas fees in the planned Jeju network. The sentiment was that the token has become essentially a memecoin with no clear mechanism for price appreciation. Users noted that even after reviewing the team's roadmap, they cannot see how the token connects to the project's vision. The migration from ai16z to elizaOS did not appear to change anything fundamental about the token's utility.", "sources": "https://discord.com/channels/1253563208833433701/1253563209462448241", "memes": { "url": "https://cdn.elizaos.news/imgflip/ahwuot.jpg", "summary": "Migration changed nothing fundamental." }, "posters": "https://cdn.elizaos.news/posters/1768957168675-bu4aef.jpg" }, { "text": "Discussion revealed that the only verified use case for the elizaOS token is paying gas fees in the Jeju network, which is still far from launch (expected in latter half of 2026). Community members expressed frustration that there is no cohesive strategy connecting the token to the project's development. The Jeju network documentation shows 60+ onchain actions requiring gas fees, but the timeline for implementation remains unclear.

The token has dropped 70% twice in recent weeks with zero demand. Users emphasized that the number one priority should be establishing a clear reason to buy or hold elizaOS tokens.
