A player economy
built around utility.
NFTerra's planned cryptocurrency would connect minting, crafting, services, marketplace registration, item trade, and territory upkeep. The purpose is to make the currency useful inside the game—not to promise price appreciation.

One currency throughout the game
One Gold. A thousand Copper. The same token.
One Gold is one NFTerra token. Ten Silver, one hundred Bronze, or one thousand Copper have exactly the same value. The maximum supply includes both treasury holdings and tokens in circulation.

The smallest supported unit
The intended economy includes real-money purchases, mob drops, daily rewards, project gifts, and player trade. Distribution draws from funded reserves within the cap. Current development focuses on backend systems and exact accounting; reward rates and game content come later.
Players would sell tokens through supported external markets and fiat providers. NFTerra does not promise direct cash redemption, liquidity, or a market price.
The proposed settlement currency
One economy, many reasons to spend.
The currency is intended to move because players need useful actions, inputs, and services—not because the website claims it will rise in value.
NFTerra's project treasury would hold the project allocation within the one-billion-token ceiling. Currency paid to the game for minting, repairs, registration, and other system charges would return to this Yasa-owned wallet. Yasa could sell those same tokens again through approved in-game and external channels. The tokens are recycled, not destroyed; total supply does not increase.
Player trade payments go to the seller or specialist. Separate trade fees return to the project treasury and depend on verified trading or merchant skill. The price and fee are shown before confirmation and remain fixed through settlement. Exact rates, discounts, and payment routes are still being designed.
Local development now tests whole sealed-base and ordinary-stack sales between two inventories, using valueless balances. Return sales preserve item identity and level. Frozen merchant-skill fees pay the treasury, consideration pays the seller, and retries cannot charge twice. Received items remain locked until a clearly marked local receipt simulation completes. The public marketplace, token sales and actual public settlement remain planned.
Economic advantage is deliberate—but the total stays 100.
Currency could buy equipment, materials, services, access fees, and bounded experience acceleration. No purchase can add a 101st point or a second character to the device.
Minting
Fees, bases, materials, catalysts, tools, and specialist services could all require currency.
Repair & enhancement
Later repair, enchanting, upgrading, socketing, and reforging could create recurring sinks.
Territory upkeep
Settlement totems would consume currency and resources to maintain temporary protection.
Registration & fees
A progression gate and registration payment are the current working design for global access.
Specialist work
Minting, repair, construction, and other specialist work—including qualified skill reallocation—could be priced freely by the players providing them.
Approved utility
Additional sinks could support events, tools, storage, transport, or other balanced gameplay systems.
Why finite skill matters economically
A useful city is built from professions that need one another.
No character can fit gathering, production, combat, building, and every service into the same 100-point budget. That constraint turns mastery into player-supplied work.
- Gatherers supply production chains they cannot finish alone.
- Creators depend on materials, tools, customers, and other specialists.
- Owners can commission bounded work without surrendering unrestricted custody.
- Currency circulates because useful actions require both economic and gameplay inputs.
Sources, circulation, and sinks
A useful economy needs reasons to earn, exchange, and consume value.
The currency, ordinary resources, sealed loot, NFTs, services, organizations, settlement systems, and external markets would connect through different authorities but one reconciled economic event model.

- SourcesProject release, eligible rewards, gathering, production, and approved buildings introduce value under caps.
- CirculationWallets, direct trade, services, and the global marketplace move currency and assets between players.
- SinksMinting, item work, registration, tools, settlement upkeep, construction, and other utility consume value.
- ReconciliationToken balances, NFT ownership, game inventory, escrow, exchange books, and public receipts must agree.
The unified player marketplace
Different asset rails. One market experience.
The proposed market would present eligible game-ledger items, minted NFTs, and services together while settling each through its canonical authority.
| Market asset | What a buyer receives | Canonical authority | Trade condition |
|---|---|---|---|
| Sealed item base | An unidentified, unusable base with disclosed family and origin information plus hidden mint potential. | Authoritative game item ledger | Tradeable before minting; temporarily lockable during listing or escrow. |
| Minted relic | A usable unique game item with final name, appearance, statistics, token identity, and provenance. | Supported NFT contract plus reconciled game availability | Tradeable inside NFTerra when eligible, owned, approved, and unlocked. External NFT transfers are blocked by the contract. |
| Ordinary item or materials | Consumables, resources, catalysts, runes, tools, and other approved game inventory. | Authoritative game item ledger | Tradeable by default unless temporarily locked. |
| Specialist service | A defined work order such as minting or repair without transferring unrestricted custody to the provider. | Service escrow, game rules, and relevant asset rail | Inputs and payment settle only after the agreed service outcome. |
| Quest item | Nothing; it represents private quest progress rather than a market asset. | Private quest and progression ledger | Never listable, giftable, exportable, mintable, or wrappable to bypass binding. |
Example economic path
A beginner dagger could begin a much larger story.
- 1. A new player defeats a low-level rat and receives a sealed dagger base.
- 2. The player could sell it sealed, keep it, or acquire currency and materials for a mint attempt.
- 3. A chosen blacksmith could mint it through escrow, with outcomes influenced by their skill and the committed inputs.
- 4. If successful, the resulting dagger would become a unique NFT with its own name, statistics, appearance, minter, and origin.
- 5. The owner could equip it or later list it in the global market for NFTerra currency.
Every step represents intended design. No dagger, marketplace, currency, or NFT exists as a live product today.
Recovered from the legacy Miro board · Candidate systems
The older design tied local services to risk, storage, and survival.
The principles are valuable, but the exact death-loss rules conflict on the board. Minted items stay inside NFTerra; damage, destruction, theft, and recovery still require explicit game rules, contract authority, and consent.
Biome gathering
Forests, rocky areas, mountains, and other validated terrain could enable wood, stone, metal, and related gathering with the correct equipped tools.
Protected storage
Settlement banks or other storage services could protect selected inventory, increase capacity, and create a trusted local service business.
Meaningful death
Death could risk carried game-ledger items through damage, destruction, theft, or recovery windows; exact protected slots and NFT rules remain open.
Offline shops
Player-managed shops in operated settlements could continue selling approved listings while the owner is offline.
Local service fees
Settlement operators could charge transparent, bounded fees for storage, production, trade, communication, defence, or other maintained infrastructure.
Resource consumption
Construction, upgrading, crafting, and totem upkeep could remove ordinary resources from circulation without making every stack an NFT.
Public accountability without exposing private play
Every completed exchange would leave evidence.
NFTerra-supported exchanges are intended to maintain an append-only exchange subledger and contribute a public settlement record or cryptographic commitment.
Orders and lifecycle
The responsible venue would record authorization, matching, price, fees, locks, settlement, failures, disputes, and corrections.
Verifiable completion
NFT sales could use on-chain transfers. Non-NFT trades could publish receipts or commitments without converting the item into an NFT.
Only necessary proof
Exact location, real identity, private quest state, device identifiers, and hidden loot outcomes would stay out of public trade data.
One trade, one economic event.
Token movement, item ownership, NFT transfer, exchange records, fees, and player inventory would have to reconcile before a trade is marked complete. Retries must return the original result rather than execute a duplicate.
Access and market integrity
Global trading would be earned, registered, and supervised.
Level 5 and a one-time currency registration fee are the current working thresholds, not final rules.
Eligibility could also depend on age, jurisdiction, account standing, wallet status, sanctions and fraud controls, marketplace terms, and regional availability.
- Listings and sales would use only NFTerra currency on supported NFTerra markets.
- Price history would distinguish real settlement from asking prices, gifts, internal movements, and wash trading.
- Project, treasury, liquidity, and related-party activity would require clear disclosure.
- Stolen assets, disputes, freezes, refunds, chargebacks, and corrections need explicit policies.
- External venues would need contract, metadata, settlement, privacy, and reporting compatibility.
Still to be decided.
- Initial circulation within the one-billion-token cap, production contracts, and audit scope
- Treasury allocations, locks, and vesting
- Primary purchase pricing, approved payment flow, and external liquidity
- Wallet custody and device-loss recovery
- Marketplace fees and listing formats
- KYC, AML, sanctions, age, and regions
- Public receipt format for non-NFT trades
- Trading skill fee curves, payer allocation, and treasury resale timing
The transferable token purchase flow and randomized NFT mint design require specific store and provider review before commercial release. No payment or cash-out service is active.
