  "description": "Covalent (CXT) is the native token of the Covalent Network, an integral component of its decentralized long-term data availability network. CXT is used for network settlement, staking by operators and delegators to secure the network, and governance for on-chain proposals. Its economic model leverages stablecoin payments for API queries, which in turn drives market demand for CXT.",
