# Reserve Token

### Overview

The Kolektivo Reserve Token is an ERC-20 produced by a local instance of a [Kolektivo Reserve](/kolektivo-docs/tools/live-tools/reserve.md). The Reserve Token is backed by the assets held by the Reserve, such as [KTT](/kolektivo-docs/tools/framework-tokens/treasury-token.md), [Ecological Tokens](/kolektivo-docs/tools/framework-tokens/ecological-tokens.md) or cUSD, and used as collateral into the Mento system to mint the [community currency](/kolektivo-docs/tools/framework-tokens/community-currency.md) of the community economy. The Kolektivo Reserve Token introduces several utilities such as leverage, price ceiling and floor.&#x20;

### Utilities

* Reserve Delegates can mint more kCUR without any additional assets like KTT being deposited into the reserve. The maximum leverage ratio is a custom limit that determines how much leverage is possible.&#x20;
* The Reserve Token Minted by Reserve Delegates via governance proposals, constrained by leverage ratio.
* The Reserve Token's price is being held between a price floor and ceiling determined by the community.&#x20;
* The Reserve Token is used to back the community currency via Mento.
