### Last Word



The Flow Tokenomics Working Group (TWG) plays a crucial role in advancing the economic design of Flow's native token, FLOW, while promoting network security, decentralization, and overall value proposition. Through the expertise of its diverse team and collaborative approach, the TWG makes valuable contributions to the Flow ecosystem. Continual refinement and optimization of the FLOW token's economic model by the TWG would pave the way for the widespread adoption of Web3 experiences by mainstream users.
