# Financial Transactions and Currency System Draftables employs a dual-currency system, consisting of a soft currency for regular in-game transactions and a hard currency tied to the blockchain for more significant investments and trades. This system allows for a broad range of economic activities, from purchasing upgrades and assets to engaging in more substantial transactions on the game's marketplace. The design of Draftables' economy is focused on long-term sustainability and growth. By carefully balancing asset availability, player rewards, and economic incentives, the game ensures a vibrant ecosystem that remains engaging and rewarding for both new players and seasoned veterans. * **Soft Currency:** Earned through gameplay, used for everyday expenses such as athlete training, facility upgrades, and purchasing basic consumables. * **Hard Currency:** Purchased with real money or earned through significant achievements, used for buying premium assets, expediting time-intensive tasks, participating in exclusive events, or trading on the blockchain marketplace. Additionally, hard currency can be staked to improve franchise performance and maximize rewards. --- # 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.
