Jury Duty turned Ronald Gladden into an instant fan favourite, and now viewers are convinced he could be heading back for a surprise cameo in season 2’s Company Retreat.
When the first season landed in 2023, Gladden walked into a Los Angeles courtroom with no clue that the entire thing was fake. The trial was staged, the judge was an actor, and even James Marsden was playing a version of himself.
After 17 days of chaos, awkwardness and genuinely sweet moments, Gladden finally found out the truth. And out of the 2,500 people who signed up to take part in what they thought was a documentary, the show could hardly have picked a better lead. As the judge told him: “We’ve decided that you, Ronald Gladden, are a hero.”

How did Ronald Gladden react to Jury Duty?
At the end of Jury Duty, Gladden received $100,000. More importantly, the show completely changed his life and pushed him into a spotlight he never expected.
“My life completely changed overnight, I don’t even like using this word, but apparently I’m famous now and I can’t grasp that concept yet. It’s still a weird feeling,” he told Amazon.
At first, he even worried he was still being watched, comparing the whole experience to The Truman Show. As he told SiriusXM, Marsden phoned him afterwards to reassure him there were no more cameras and helped him “work through those feelings”.
He also admitted it was strange seeing himself on screen for the first time. “I’d never been on camera before… it was just weird seeing myself on TV,” he told IHeartRadio.
“It took me a while to process it. Months and months down the road, things would just randomly hit me. I’d be doing laundry or washing the dishes or something, and I’d be just like, ‘Oh, wow, was that fake?’”

Is he still friends with James Marsden?
Yes, Ronald Gladden and James Marsden have stayed close since Jury Duty ended, and he is still in touch with the wider cast and crew, too.
Speaking to People, Marsden said it mattered to him that Gladden was not left behind once filming wrapped.
“It was really important to me, I was like, ‘I can’t end this and then go, ‘Hey bud, that was fun, see ya.’ If we’re really celebrating the guy, then we’ve got to stay pals. And he’s such a pure-hearted human being – I’d want to be friends with him anyway.”
In a later interview with Gold Derby, Gladden said his favourite part of the experience was the connections he made.
“To know I genuinely met these people… maybe they changed a location or the name, but they told me real stories about themselves, their pasts, their upbringings. I connected with these people, that was probably the best part,” he said.

Will Ronald Gladden be in Jury Duty season 2?
It is still unclear whether Ronald Gladden will appear in Jury Duty: Company Retreat. That said, fans think he may have dropped a small hint about a possible cameo.
From the trailer, season 2 appears to be a completely fresh setup, with a new cast and a workplace retreat in California. So it does not look like Marsden or the rest of the original players will be back.
But Gladden may still pop up somewhere. After he shared the first teaser for the new season on Instagram, one user commented: “You better be on this!”
Gladden replied with two emojis, one with raised hands and one smirking.
That has sparked all kinds of theories. He could show up briefly at the retreat, play a heightened version of himself, or appear right at the end when Anthony discovers what has really been going on.

Where is Ronald Gladden now?
Gladden left his old job after Jury Duty became a breakout success, and he has since moved into TV work.
According to his IMDb page, he has appeared on Celebrity Family Feud and Dish It Out, along with several talk shows.
He also recently returned to Cameo in support of One Simple Wish, a charity set up to “raise awareness and empower everyone to restore hope and happiness to kids and young adults impacted by foster care and crisis throughout the United States,” according to its website.
Gladden has also worked with Swash, Elf Cosmetics, and Ryan Reynolds’ Mint Mobile. They even appeared in an ad together.
He is in a relationship with Angelina Celeste, an actress and improv comedian. They also have a Corgi together called Meatball.
As for whether he is involved in season 2, he wrote on Instagram: “Before anyone tries to get information out of me, just know that I kept Jury Duty a secret for 14 months, even from my family, so you just gotta wait.”

Major League Baseball names Polymarket its official exchange with exclusive commercial rights.MLB signs an MOU with CFTC to coordinate oversight and share integrity-related data.The new framework restricts high-risk markets and sets compliance expectations for all platforms offering MLB-linked contracts.
Major League Baseball (MLB) has entered a formal partnership with Polymarket, naming it the league’s official prediction market exchange today.
According to the official announcement, the agreement gives Polymarket exclusive rights to use MLB branding across its products, along with access to official league data distributed by Sportradar. The platform is also set to be featured across MLB’s digital channels and events.
The deal places prediction markets closer to the league’s core ecosystem, a shift from earlier arms-length approaches to emerging betting-like products.
Integrity controls built into the partnership
The central feature of the arrangement is the introduction of restrictions on certain types of markets. MLB and Polymarket plan to limit contracts that could create conflicts of interest or raise integrity concerns.
This includes markets tied to granular, in-game actions such as individual pitches, umpire decisions, or managerial calls, areas where insider knowledge could influence outcomes.
Polymarket is expected to reflect these constraints in its U.S. rulebook, with requirements extending to brokers operating on the platform to maintain consistent standards.
Coordination with CFTC
The move comes as MLB Commissioner Robert D. Manfred Jr. signed a memorandum of understanding with Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) Chairman Michael Selig.
The agreement outlines a framework for information sharing between the league and the regulator. Both sides will exchange data related to betting patterns, potential risks, and integrity concerns tied to baseball-linked prediction markets.
Regular meetings between designated representatives are expected to support monitoring efforts and allow for quicker responses to unusual activity. Information shared under the arrangement will remain confidential.
Expansion amid regulatory pressure
The MLB–Polymarket partnership comes as lawmakers push for tighter controls across the sector.
A day ago, Senator Chris Murphy and Representative Greg Casar introduced the BETS OFF Act, a bill that would ban wagers on events where outcomes are controlled or known in advance, including government actions, war, and terrorism.
The proposal follows scrutiny over well-timed bets on platforms like Polymarket and Kalshi tied to geopolitical events. In some cases, large wagers were placed shortly before real-world developments, raising concerns about the use of non-public information.
Push for oversight across platforms
While Polymarket receives exclusive commercial rights, MLB indicated that integrity standards will not be limited to a single platform.
Other prediction market operators offering baseball-related contracts are expected to adopt similar safeguards within their own rulebooks. The league’s approach suggests an attempt to standardize how such markets operate, regardless of provider.
This follows earlier calls from MLB urging stronger regulatory oversight as prediction markets expanded into areas tied to real-world events.
Broader context
The agreements reflect growing attention on how prediction markets intersect with professional sports. As these platforms gain traction, leagues and regulators are increasingly focused on defining acceptable boundaries.
For MLB, the emphasis appears to be on preemptive controls: limiting high-risk market types and establishing communication channels with regulators before issues arise. The outcome of this approach may shape how other sports leagues engage with prediction market platforms in the future.

From the very beginning, The Darkside Detective: Backside of the Moon doesn’t take itself that seriously. I mean, with a name like that, you wouldn’t expect it to either. This third entry to the The Darkside Detective series sees Detective McQueen and Officer Dooley once again solving crimes in Twin Lakes using some classic point and click adventure logic.
The preview case for The Darkside Detective: Backside of the Moon is titled Honey I Shrunk The Detective, and you don’t have to be a superintendent to work out what the premise will be. The case opens with Detective McQueen completing paperwork while Officer Dooley complains about paperwork, and his job. The opening dialogue between the two sets the tone for this comedy, and it does have funny banter between the two characters. While McQueen gets on with work, while Dooley’s boredom leads him to mess around with an artifact that sees them both get shrunk.
Being a detective is tough enough already, so being the size of a pen really makes things difficult. So McQueen and Dooley naturally begin a quest to get back to their right size. In the opening parts of the case, the pair meet another couple smaller couple that take things to furnish their little home (but don’t call them Borrowers), and a rat who just wants his shower fixed. If you ignore the preposterousness of the situation, fixing a shower and climbing up something are normal things to do. Being a point and click adventure game, the solutions are not the most straightforward.
In this part of The Darkside Detective: Backside of the Moon, you need to climb back to McQueen’s desk, fix the plumbing, and find a way to unshrink yourselves. The solutions for each of the puzzles while absurd to fit with the theme are very straightforward, so much so that the demo was over in 15 minutes. If the opening speaks for what to expect in the full release, then Backside of the Moon should be a fun adventure game without too much frustration when figuring out puzzle solutions.
I haven’t played the previous The Darkside Detective games, but just going by the demo for The Darkside Detective: Backside of the Moon, I think I have been missing out. The humour is well written with fourth wall breaking moments, the characters already seem very likeable, and the puzzle elements are fun to figure out. Definitely one to keep an eye of for you point and click adventure fans.

Why Are Some Baggy Jeans So Expensive?
Baggy jeans might look plain at first sight but some styles have really high prices. In the fancy clothing world, the price of loose jeans is shaped by a few things like fabric, skill in making them, brand name and rarity. These parts change regular denim into top-notch fashion items that attract collectors and fans of style.
One of the big reasons baggy jeans can be costly is the quality of stuff used. ͏Fancy denim brands often use nice fabrics like top cotton or Japanese selvedge denim which are known for their strength and soft feel. These materials are made using special weaving methods that make the denim tougher, cozier and last longer than normal mass-made jeans. Because these raw things cost more, the end product costs more too.
One big thing is skill and making methods. Fancy baggy jeans often need tricky making steps. Creators might use several washing ways, hand wearing out, sewing on designs or careful stitching to get a special style. In lots of cases, these details are made by skilled workers instead of machines that do it all alone. This level of skill needs time expertise and care which really makes the total price go up.
Brand worth and designer name also have a big part in cost. Fancy clothing brands are known for their history, style and sway in the fashion scene. When buyers get designer loose jeans, they aren’t just buying fabric but also the fame and image tied to the brand. Limited-time sets or display items from famous designers can ask for much higher costs because of their rarity.
In the end, small making and being rare make some baggy jeans worth more. Lots of fancy brands make a few amounts of their jeans to keep them special and wanted. When there is little supply and a lot of demand, the costs go up by itself.
Overall, costly loose jeans show a mix of fine materials, careful work, brand names and being one-of-a-kind which all make their higher cost in the fancy clothes world reasonable.
Are Expensive Baggy Jeans Worth the Investment?
Fancy baggy jeans often have big price tags which makes a lot of shoppers think if they are really worth the cost. The answer mostly depends on what you care about in style— goodness, how long they last, name fame or special look. While pricey loose jeans might feel dear at first, they usually offer some good points that can make the high cost okay.
One of the big reasons fancy baggy jeans are seen as a smart buy is their better cloth quality. Top denim brands often use top-notch fabrics like selvedge or organic cotton denim, which last longer and feel nicer than regular materials found in less expensive jeans. These fabrics not only feel good on your skin but also keep their form and shape over time.
One more key point is skill and making. Fancy jeans often have special ways of being made that include strong sewing, precise cutting of shapes and finished by hand parts. Some high-quality denim items may go through many steps in making them, ensuring strength and care for small points that regular jeans don’t usually have.
Costly loose jeans also give a better fit and ease. Fancy brands spend lots on design study to make styles that match different body shapes and offer a nicer look. Due to the careful sewing and new cloth tech, those jeans often feel more comfy for long times of use.
Also, big baggy jeans often have name value and specialness. Lots of fancy clothing brands make a few pairs or one-of-a-kind styles, making their jeans more wanted and easy to collect. Shoppers are not just getting denim but also the image, art and history tied to the brand.
Still, costly baggy jeans are not needed for all. For daily wear, av͏erage-priced denim can give the same ease and use at a lower cost. But for fashion fans, collectors or people who care about lasting quality and designer looks, fancy baggy jeans can sure be a good buy.

We have shocking news out of Arkansas, where Joseph Duggar has been arrested for the alleged sexual assault of a 9-year-old girl.
The former reality star — who is the brother of convicted sex offender Josh Duggar — was taken into police custody on Wednesday evening.
He has been charged with lewd and lascivious behavior involving a victim younger than the age of 12 and lewd and lascivious behavior toward a victim aged 18 or older.
Joseph Duggar has been arrested for the alleged molestation of a 9-year-old girl. (Washington County Sheriff’s Office)
The alleged victim, now 14, told police in Tontitown, Arkansas that the incident occurred in 2020 during a family getaway to Panama City Beach, Florida.
According to Page Six, tbe accuser recounted “several incidents” that began with Joseph asking her to sit on his lap.
At one point, she recalled, he asked her to sit next to him on a couch. He then allegedly covered both of them with a blanket and began touching her in a sexual fashion.
After telling police that Joseph would “rub her thighs” during the trip, the accuser says he later apologized for his actions.
Page Six reports that Joseph is behind bars at the Washington County jail in Arkansas, where is awaiting extradition to Florida.
Joseph Duggar and Kendra Caldwell were followed by TLC producers on their honeymoon after they married in 2017. (TLC)
The sheriff’s office in Bay County, Florida — where the assault allegedly took place — has issued a statement about Joseph’s arrest:
“The Bay County Sheriff’s Office has arrested and charged 31-year-old Joseph Garrett Duggar for Lewd and Lascivious Behavior, involving unlawful sexual activity with a minor,” the statement reads.
“On March 18, 2026, Bay County investigators were contacted by a detective with the Tontitown Police Department regarding a report of past sexual abuse.
“The 14-year-old victim participated in a forensic interview, where she disclosed several incidents involving Duggar that occurred during a family vacation in Panama City Beach when she was 9-years-old.”

The sheriff’s office goes on to state that Joseph admitted to his crimes after being “confronted” by his father, Jim Bob Duggar:
“Investigators discovered the victim’s father confronted Duggar about these incidents on March 17th, 2026. Duggar admitted his actions to the victim’s father and to Tontitown Detectives.
“Duggar was arrested out of state and charged with Lewd and Lascivious Behavior – Molestation of a Victim Less Than 12-years-old and Lewd and Lascivious Behavior Conducted By A Person 18 Years Or Older. Duggar is currently awaiting extradition to Bay County.”
This is, of course, not the first time that the Duggars — who rose to fame with their TLC reality show, 19 Kids and Counting — have been embroiled in a scandal involving the sexual abuse of children.

Eldest sibling Josh Duggar was arrested in 2021 on charges of possessing and distributing child sexual abuse materials.
In response to the situation TLC canceled the Duggars’ popular show, though the network later attempted a controversial reboot focusing on the Jim Bob and Michelle Duggar’s daughters.
Josh has been behind bars ever since and is not scheduled for release until December of 2032.
Joseph married Kendra Caldwell in 2017, and the couple has welcomed three children: Garrett, 7, Addison, 6, and Broolyn Praise, 5.

Demi Moore definitely stunned at the 2026 Oscars, walking the red carpet in an elaborate, feathered gown from Gucci. But while many admired her fashion choices, beauty fans were captivated by the star’s softly plumped, light pink lips — which are surprisingly attainable with the right products.
Moore’s makeup artist, Raoul Alejandre, created the look with a few expertly-placed layers. Charlotte Tilbury’s Lip Cheat in Pillow Talk was used to define and shape, followed by the Pillow Talk Blush Balm Lip Tint in Pillow Talk Medium, which added a diffused wash of color that felt polished and event–ready. Finally, the pro used Charlotte Tilbury Big Lip Plumpgasm Lip Gloss for a little extra shine.

For investors exploring decentralized finance, what is Centrifuge (CFG) is a common question as more attention shifts toward bringing real-world tangible assets into blockchain-based finance. Centrifuge is a project that connects traditional finance with DeFi by enabling assets such as invoices, real estate, and loans to be tokenized and funded on-chain.
This guide explains how the Centrifuge protocol works, the role of the centrifuge token, the problems it solves, and how both businesses and investors benefit from using it.
What Is Centrifuge (CFG)?
Centrifuge (CFG) is a blockchain project designed to bring real-world assets into decentralized finance. It allows businesses to convert assets such as invoices, mortgages, and royalties into digital tokens that can be financed on blockchain-based platforms.
Rather than going through banks or traditional lenders, companies can access funding directly from investors in the DeFi ecosystem.
At its core, the Centrifuge protocol acts as a bridge between traditional finance and blockchain. It enables asset originator businesses to unlock liquidity from assets that are usually slow or difficult to finance.
For example, a company waiting 60 days for invoice payments can use Centrifuge to access funds almost immediately by tokenizing that invoice and offering it to investors.
Who Built a Centrifuge?
Centrifuge was founded in 2017 by a German team led by Lucas Vogelsang (CEO) and Martin Quensel (COO), both with strong backgrounds in fintech and supply chain finance. They previously worked at Taulia, where they focused on improving access to working capital for businesses.
Along with contributors like Markus Ament and Philip Stehlik, the Centrifuge team built the protocol to connect real-world assets with decentralized finance and help businesses unlock funding more efficiently. Its CEO, Bhaji Illuminati, has positioned the project as the infrastructure layer that will power the next phase of institutional DeFi.
How Does Centrifuge Work?
Centrifuge connects businesses that need funding with investors who want to earn returns. It does this by turning real-world assets into digital tokens that can be financed on blockchain networks.
Businesses
Businesses, also known as asset originators, use Centrifuge to tokenize their off chain assets. These assets can include:
InvoicesLoansReal estateRoyalties
Once tokenized, these assets are added to the centrifuge chain, where they can be accessed by investors. This process allows businesses to:
Unlock cash tied up in assetsAccess funding fasterAvoid traditional banking processes
For many asset originator businesses, this means improved cash flow and more flexibility.
Investors
Investors deposit stablecoins, most commonly USDT and USDC, into an asset pool and earn a yield that reflects the real-world interest rate on the underlying assets. Each pool is typically structured into two layers, similar to how traditional structured finance works:
The senior tranche, which offers a lower but more stable, predictable return. It carries the first claim on repayments. The junior tranche, which offers a higher potential yield but absorbs the first losses if any borrower defaults. It acts as a protective buffer for senior investors.
Investors choose which tranche suits their risk appetite before committing capital.
Centrifuge Technology Overview
Centrifuge combines several layers to bring real-world off chain assets into DeFi:
Centrifuge Chain: A purpose-built blockchain, now EVM-native, handling tokenization, crypto staking, and governance with fast, low-cost transactions.Tinlake: An Ethereum-based dApp where businesses mint NFTs of assets like invoices and use them to access funding through pools.Liquidity pools: Investors fund pools with different risk levels—TIN for higher returns, DROP for more stable yields—across multiple chains.P2P network: A privacy layer that verifies sensitive financial data off-chain while anchoring proof on-chain.V3 & multichain support: Operates across chains like Ethereum, Arbitrum, Avalanche, and Base, with Wormhole enabling seamless cross-chain liquidity.
These layers make it easier for businesses to unlock capital and for investors to earn transparent, real-world yield.
What Problems Does Centrifuge Solve?
Centrifuge tackles key challenges that limit access to financing for businesses and stability for DeFi investors.
High costs and inefficiency: Traditional financing relies on banks and intermediaries, making it slow and expensive. Centrifuge uses NFT smart contracts via Tinlake to streamline lending and reduce costs.Limited liquidity of real-world assets: Assets like invoices can take weeks to settle. Centrifuge tokenizes them into NFTs, allowing businesses to access funds quickly.Restricted access to credit: SMEs often struggle to secure loans. Centrifuge opens liquidity pools where investors fund assets directly.DeFi volatility: Most platforms depend on volatile crypto collateral. Centrifuge introduces real-world income streams for more stable yields.Data privacy concerns: Sensitive financial data can’t be fully public. Centrifuge enables off-chain verification while anchoring proof on-chain.
What Is the CFG Token?
The CFG token is the main coin that powers Centrifuge. It is used to pay small platform fees, stake to help secure the network, and vote on important changes. Holding CFG lets you earn rewards and have a say in how the system improves.
CFG Token Utility and Use Cases
As of January 2026, the total supply is 691.8 million CFG tokens, with approximately 50% freely circulating. The remaining supply is split across:
Team (14%): Vesting gradually through March 2030 to align incentives with long-term development.Ecosystem Incentives (24%): Locked for growth initiatives and protocol adoption, vesting linearly through April 2029.Incentives (12%): Tokens set aside to fund protocol growth, support partnerships, and develop the Centrifuge ecosystem, with a portion still locked and vesting through April 2029.Other Stakeholders (0.1%): Mostly vested; the small remainder vests over three months through March 2026.
CFG also carries a 3% annual inflation rate, with all newly minted tokens flowing to the Treasury rather than diluting stakers or validators. Staking rewards are therefore tied to network activity, ensuring a sustainable system.
The CFG token has several uses, including:
Transaction fees: Used to pay for actions on the Centrifuge chain, creating ongoing demand from all participants.Governance: Allows holders to vote on pools and strategic decisions through the Centrifuge decentralized autonomous organization (DAO).Staking: Validators and nominators can stake tokens to secure the network and earn rewards.Collateral: Validators stake CFG as collateral for block production, with slashing penalties to encourage honest behavior.
How to Earn CFG Through Staking
Staking CFG works through a Nominated Proof of Stake (NPoS) model, the same system used by Polkadot. You do not need to run a node yourself to earn rewards. As a nominator, you simply select one or more validators you trust and delegate your CFG to them. When those validators produce blocks and earn rewards, you receive a proportional share of the rewards.
What Is Centrifuge Prime?
Centrifuge Prime is a service for large DeFi protocols and DAOs that want to put idle treasury assets to work in real-world assets. It lets them invest stablecoins or ETH into diversified pools of tokenized crypto assets, earning real yields while keeping everything auditable on-chain.
The platform is designed to meet governance and compliance standards, making it suitable for institutional participants. For example, Aave has used Centrifuge to integrate real-world asset collateral, and the $100 million JAAA strategy with Resolv in 2026 marked one of the largest RWA deployments in DeFi history.
Common Use Cases of Centrifuge
Centrifuge is already used across several real-world applications:
Invoice financing: Businesses tokenize unpaid invoices to access working capital instantly, rather than waiting 30–90 days.Tokenized US Treasuries: Asset managers like Janus Henderson issue on-chain versions of Treasuries and CLOs, offering stable, real-world yield.Real estate loans: Lenders tokenize mortgage portfolios and tap DeFi liquidity as an alternative to traditional financing.DAO treasury management: Through Centrifuge Prime, DAOs deploy idle funds into RWA pools to earn more consistent returns.Private credit: Lending funds tokenize loan portfolios, giving DeFi investors access to markets usually out of reach.Tokenized index products: With S&P DJI, Centrifuge offers on-chain index exposure like the S&P 500 (SPXA).
The Future of Centrifuge
Centrifuge’s leadership sees 2026 as a turning point for real-world asset tokenization. The CEO predicts that by the end of the year, over half of the top 50 asset managers will have active tokenization strategies.
For Centrifuge, the roadmap includes expanding index product offerings through its S&P DJI partnership, deeper cross-chain integration via additional EVM deployments, and a growing white-label service for institutions using Centrifuge’s infrastructure under their own brand. The Treasury Advisory Group (TAG) is exploring fee-sharing and staking yield enhancements to strengthen CFG’s value as decentralized asset financing protocol revenues grow.
The long-term vision is for Centrifuge to become the go-to infrastructure for institutional real-world asset tokenization, essentially the Ethereum of RWA, providing the trusted rails that financial institutions rely on to bring assets on-chain.
Conclusion: Is CFG a Good Investment?
CFG makes a compelling case for investors who believe in the real-world asset tokenization thesis. After hitting a low of around $0.10 in February 2026, the token jumped roughly 95% following its Binance listing and now trades near $0.165—still far below its all-time high of $2.52 from October 2021. The Binance listing added credibility, and technical analysts note a cup-and-handle breakout pattern with a near-term target around $0.27.
Long-term potential is tied to Centrifuge’s fundamentals: projected revenue of $15 million by the end of 2026, fee-sharing mechanisms under review by the Treasury Advisory Group, and $1.37 billion in TVL, with institutional partners such as Janus Henderson and Aave actively participating. Before investing, review official documentation, understand the token unlock schedule, and assess your risk tolerance to avoid losing money.
FAQs
What blockchain is Centrifuge built on?
Centrifuge runs its own blockchain, the Centrifuge Chain, built specifically for tokenizing real-world assets. It was originally developed using Substrate and connected to the Polkadot ecosystem. Today, it also supports EVM-compatible chains, allowing broader DeFi integration across multiple networks.
What is the difference between CFG and DOT?
CFG is the native token of Centrifuge, used for fees, staking, and governance within its ecosystem. DOT is the native token of Polkadot, which provides shared network security and interoperability for connected chains. CFG powers Centrifuge, while DOT powers the broader network it can connect to.
Is Centrifuge the same as Centrifuge Chain?
No, Centrifuge refers to the entire ecosystem, including apps, pools, and services like Tinlake and Centrifuge Prime. The Centrifuge Chain is the underlying blockchain that handles transactions, staking, and governance. Think of the chain as the engine, and Centrifuge as the full platform built around it.
What is the CFG token used for?
CFG is used to pay transaction fees across the Centrifuge Chain, creating consistent demand. It can also be staked to help secure the network and earn rewards as a validator or nominator. As a CFG holder, you can use the token to vote on governance decisions that shape the protocol’s future.
