Holding RAIL is not necessary to use the privacy system nor does holding RAIL provide privacy. RAIL is a standard ERC-20 token deployed to Ethereum. RAIL liquidity can be found on Sushiswap and Uniswap, with aggregated routing available through [Matcha.](https://matcha.xyz/)​ ​[Stake RAIL](https://governance.railgun.org) to secure the protocol and collect security rewards. RAILGUN on Polygon and BSC have their own independent governance systems & tokens which are separate from the system on Ethereum. RAILGUN on Arbitrum is secured by staked RAIL on Ethereum. ### Contract Addresses **Ethereum - RAIL**: 0xe76c6c83af64e4c60245d8c7de953df673a7a33d **BNB Smart Chain - RAILBSC:** 0x3F847b01d4d498a293e3197B186356039eCd737F **Polygon - RAILPOLY:** 0x92A9C92C215092720C731c96D4Ff508c831a714f --- # Agent Instructions This documentation is published with GitBook.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter: ``` GET https://docs.railgun.org/wiki/rail-token/rail-token-overview.md?ask=&goal= ``` `ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language. `goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal. The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation. Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
