**Minting Lootboxes**

$VALOR is used to purchase lootboxes that contain various resources which include materials, components and essences. Those are also needed to unlock different types of NFT’s.

**Reward System and Points**

$VALOR functions as a scoring system within the Samurai warlords universe, those who earn more $VALOR are users who engage more in the ecosystem and will be eligible for more rewards, airdrops and special surprises.

**Airdrop Eligibility**
