# cDFI ECOSYSTEM The cDFI Ecosystem centers around the innovative creation of cDFI, a wrapped DFI token minted by Crypto Factor, designed to enhance community staking and governance. cDFI serves as a receipt token for staking on the DMC layer, while the underlying DFI is used as collateral for establishing Masternodes on the Native DeFiChain layer. Beyond staking, cDFI provides additional utility as a voting proxy for on-chain governance and DeFiChain Improvement Proposals. It also offers benefits such as reduced fees on CFR swaps (including client tokens), liquidity mining opportunities, and the potential for exclusive future purchases like NFTs, solidifying its role within the Crypto Factor Ecosystem. --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
