# 5.2.3 – Ecosystem Operations

Similar to the Network staking & governance procedure, the Ecosystem-wide system is designed to generate sustainable demand for \[TRRUE]. It also inhibits the circulating supply by ensuring that value is locked by Users in addition to the larger Validator Stakes being locked in Network Operations.

Ecosystem Members stake \[TRRUE] in an Ecosystem Lockup to enhance their User Level and participate in community governance for the TRCO.<br>
