# RAIL Token Overview

RAIL is the RAILGUN Protocol's security token. Holding RAIL is not necessary to use the privacy system nor does holding RAIL provide privacy.&#x20;

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.&#x20;

RAILGUN on Arbitrum is secured by staked RAIL on Ethereum.
