### [$VALOR](/tokens/usdvalor.md)

The non-transferable utility token, $VALOR rewards active gameplay and staking. It powers core in-game functions like crafting, resource exchanges, and NFT unlocking, encouraging consistent participation.

### [$HONOR](/tokens/usdhonor.md)

The primary utility and governance token, $HONOR is used for trading, crafting, minting NFTs, and participating in DAO governance. It empowers players to shape the game's future while driving advanced features and upgrades.

### [Resources](/tokens/resources.md)

Represented as ERC-1155 tokens, resources (Materials, Components, and Essences) are essential for crafting, upgrading, and minting NFTs. They are earned through gameplay, staking, and land ownership, bridging $VALOR and $HONOR to fuel the economy.

These elements work in harmony to ensure a vibrant, player-driven ecosystem that evolves alongside the community.
