One first question I have is: why do you want to use a co-chain?

Some points to look at:

- [Question about co-chain and ASA inegrations - #2 by fabrice](https://forum.algorand.co/t/question-about-co-chain-and-asa-inegrations/5925/2)
- [Co-Chain Manage - #2 by fabrice](https://forum.algorand.co/t/co-chain-manage/4936/2)

What does “running” mean? Do you expect it to have the same role as the Algo on MainNet (the more of the tokens you have, the more power you have in consensus). In that case, this utility token must be on the co-chain.
