# TACO

**The** [**TACO**](https://wax.bloks.io/tokens/TACO-wax-t.taco) **Token is the main currency of the Taco project.**

TACO can be obtained from [Taco Swap](https://swap.tacocrypto.io/swap), NFTs, but also for free on the [Taco Utility App](http://onelink.to/taco). TACO is needed for levelling up Venues in Taco Universe, paying lower fees on Taco Swap, and unlocking Sauces in the app.
