Could you elaborate on the nature and purpose of a POKT token? As a cryptocurrency enthusiast, I'm curious to understand its functionality within the blockchain ecosystem. Specifically, how does it work in relation to the Pocket Network? Is it used for staking, governance, or other purposes?

Providing a concise yet comprehensive explanation would be greatly appreciated.
