# How to use xKIM

xKIM is illiquid and non-transferable, but can be used through plugins' allocations, and in the future on approved (whitelisted) contracts providing additional usages.

### Allocations

Users can freely allocate their available xKIM to any plugin to take advantage of its benefits. While xKIM is allocated and consequently deposited on the token contract, **it can't be used for anything else**.

Deallocating allocated xKIM will withdraw the amount back into the owner's wallet.

Depending on the plugin, a default 0.5% fee may be applied when deallocating xKIM.
{% endhint %}

### Transfer

xKIM is by default non-transferable, except from/to whitelisted addresses. This is made so that essential interactions (like allocations and redeem with the token contract) and additional usages (for instance with partners specific implementations...) can still be leveraged.
