$WORM was the fourth token introduced to the Chikn ecosystem. At launch, the token was billed as a replacement for $FEED rewards that were approaching exhaustion. Like $FEED, players generate $WORM through their LP Farm.

The little wrigglers beneath the dirt are often overlooked, but any gardener will tell you just how important $WORM are. Living beneath your FarmLand, $WORM help turn over soil, bringing valuable resources and crafting blueprints to the surface.

$WORM is the primary token needed for Crafting. Crafting includes several ways to burn $WORM—see the section on [$WORM Burning](/tokens/worm/worm-burning.md) for more information.
