# SAIL Token

Blacksail Finance is backed by a bonded USDC **revenue sharing** token which purchases and distributes platform rewards back to LP providers known as SAIL. The **SAIL Token** is backed by a liquid reserve of USDC which is readily available for redemption via the SAIL Bonding Curve. More information about the SAIL bonding curve can be found in [SAIL Bonding Curve](/about-blacksail-finance/sail-bonding-curve.md)
