$STARMARK is not the trading instrument for prediction markets, but rather the core governance and value-capture asset. Its primary utilities include:

1. DAO Governance: Holders and stakers of $STARMARK can participate in proposals and voting on key platform parameters, including market creation rules, fee adjustments, and treasury fund usage.

2. Staking Fee Sharing (effective immediately after TGE): A portion of all prediction market trading fees is distributed to $STARMARK stakers proportionally based on their staked amount (specific ratio to be determined by future DAO votes).

3. Platform Fee Buyback: After fee sharing with stakers, the remaining fees will be used periodically (weekly or monthly) to repurchase $STARMARK from the open market. Repurchased tokens will be added to the treasury or reward pools.
