The token economy, tokenomic, describes the relationships between systems, currencies and tradable digital items. The visual above is a tokenomic illustration of how these relationships work. There are generally two layers in this token economy mapping, the blockchain layer and the game layer.

### Game Layer

The relationships within the game layer focuses on gameplay systems and activities that aid the player's characters in their leveling and progression.\
\
The key systems are Stamina, Crafting, Item and Character Progression.\

Item Progression - Equipment grade can be measured with gear score, This can be minted and sold on [NFT marketplace.](https://maxion-1.gitbook.io/ragnarok-landverse-whitepaper/token-economy/nft-marketplace)  The minting of Item progression requires a VIP account and 100 units of Moonstone.\
Character Progression - When a character progress in level, he/she will be able to equip higher tier equipment and items.

### Blockchain Layer

Manages how tokens (cryptocurrencies) interact with each other and there are smart contracts in place to determine how this layer would function.\
\
The tokens are ADAM, ION, BNB, USDC, Land NFTs and Equipment NFTs.\
\
ADAM - Is an end product from refining adamantine fragments, can be minted to crypto wallet. The minting of ADAM requires a VIP account and 100 units of Moonstone while adamantine fragments can be obtained by mining ore in the game.\
ION - Is a payment token for Maxion's platform e.g. [NFT Marketplace.](https://maxion-1.gitbook.io/ragnarok-landverse-whitepaper/token-economy/nft-marketplace) ION tokens are obtained through a minting process that involves exchanging USDC tokens on a 1:1 basis.\
BNB - Require for gas fees payment to the blockchain network.\
USDC - A stablecoin that is pegged to US dollar and managed by [Circle](https://www.circle.com/en/usdc).\
