Overview
Sommelier is a blockchain protocol that aims to automate DeFi investment strategies through the use of blockchain validators and off-chain computation. The SOMM token is used for governance and validator incentivization within the Sommelier ecosystem.
Purpose and Utility
The primary purpose of SOMM is to serve as a governance token for the Sommelier protocol, allowing token holders to participate in decision-making regarding protocol updates and strategic direction. It also serves as an incentive mechanism for validators who secure the network and execute the protocol's automated trading strategies.
Business Model
The protocol's core functionality involves the automation of DeFi investment strategies, which includes managing liquidity positions across various protocols.
