Rowan is Sifchain’s utility and governance token.
Sifchain’s validators can participate in the SifDAO with voting power that is proportional to the amount of Rowan they hold.
Rowan is also the settlement token for each liquidity pool in the Sifchain DEX, meaning that each pool contains Rowan as one asset and an external asset as the other. This means that traders swapping two external assets will use ROWAN as a settlement token.
