# In-Game Tokenomics The Cryptids Monster Mash utilises a token economy system, offering incentives and rewards for players. The in-game tokens can be utilised for purchasing in-game items, participating in events, and engaging in the game's decentralised marketplace. Cryptids leverages blockchain technology in several key areas; ## Smart Contracts Utilised to ensure fair and transparent gameplay by automating in-game transactions and rewards. ## Non Fungible Tokens NFTs represent monsters, skins, and other in-game assets, providing true ownership and the ability to trade or sell items. ## Cryptocurrency In-game currency based on a blockchain token, used for transactions within the game ecosystem. ## Dual-Token System Gem/Gold Coins: The primary in-game currency used for transactions, monster upgrades, and purchasing items. $MASH coins: A cryptocurrency earned through gameplay, which can be used for in-game purchases, traded, or sold outside the game ecosystem. All transactions and game data are recorded on the blockchain, ensuring transparency and preventing fraud. Blockchain technology provides secure and tamper-proof transactions, safeguarding players' assets. The game's decentralised nature reduces the risk of central authority manipulation. --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
