However, an ecosystem needs users, games need players, and play-to-earn models are proving successful across the gaming industry. We reward users with LAVA CRYSTALS, an off-chain value linked to wallets, by simply playing and engaging with any Vulcan Forged made or hosted game. Some specific examples of how to earn LAVA: * Win matches in any Vulcan Forged games e.g. Berserk, Block Babies, Forge Arena, Chess * Explore our giant Virtual World VulcanVerse (measured in time played, or distance covered) * Trade regularly in the Vulcan Market Place * Upgrade your VulvanVerse land, Titans or Olympians * Receive ‘Appreciations’ of your land in VulcanVerse * Snapshot your land, or current rankings to blockchain *NB. LAVA is also required to upgrade assets across our ecosystem including VulcanVerse land as well as assigning powers to various cards. ‘Hoarding’ or spending your LAVA is your choice* More LAVA use cases will be added here when available. --- # Agent Instructions This documentation is published with GitBook.
