## Evrylife Utility Token

The Evrylife token is a utility token that allows for the Evrylife app to function in a decentralized manner on web 3 technologies. The Evrylife token will exist initially on Arbitrum or Polygon. Ethereum layer 2 blockchains allow for secure, fast and cheap transactions. EVM layer 2's are becoming carbon neutral in 2022 which is important for a next generation social platform to flourish.
