It can be used for transaction fees, incentive and voting mechanisms, protecting the network from spammers … The initial supply is 1,000,000,000 (one billion) UNW. The maximum inflation rate is around 2% p.a., but as the coin will be burnt when there are more transactions in the network, it is expected that the inflation rate will be nearly around 0% or even negative.
