# Battle Vaults and Token Standard

#### **ZOO Token (ERC-20 Standard)**

* ZOO serves as the backbone of the Zootopia ecosystem, functioning as the **primary utility and governance token**.
* Built on the **ERC-20 standard**, ZOO ensures seamless integration across the ecosystem and compatibility with existing DeFi infrastructure.

#### **Tokenized Communities (ERC-4626 Vaults)**

* All community tokens participating in Zootopia are implemented as **ERC-4626 Vaults**.
* Shares are issued to users against their deposits into the vaults, representing their stake in the tokenized community.
* This architecture enables a **secure, transparent, and efficient system** for managing tokenized assets during battles.
