# USUAL\*

## Overview

USUAL\* is a specialized token designed for early investors, contributors, and advisors of the Usual protocol, granting them unique benefits and governance power. It inherits basic functionalities from the USUAL token. Holders of USUAL\* are entitled to 10% of all USUAL distributions, a right that is permanently integrated into the protocol and cannot be overridden. Initially, USUAL\* holders maintain majority voting control to ensure the project adheres to its roadmap during the early stages of development. Over time, the governance structure will evolve toward a more decentralized model centered on USUAL token holders, but without compromising the immutable rights of USUAL\* holders.

## 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.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://tech.usual.money/overview/features/usual-1.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
