Token Economics

How the Voidbound Token powers a balanced, player-driven economy focused on utility, sustainability, and long-term engagement.

A Sustainable, Utility-Driven Currency

The Voidbound Token (VBT) serves as the foundation of the Voidbound economy. It is a utility token designed to sustain a dynamic, player-driven marketplace and reward meaningful participation within the game world. Built on the Ethereum network and deployed on Polygon for optimal speed and scalability, VBT is not a speculative investment instrument but a functional currency with clear, game-focused applications.

The VBT model emphasizes sustainability and genuine utility. Its fixed supply ensures scarcity and long-term value, while its integration into core gameplay systems creates consistent, organic demand. Every aspect of the token’s design aims to support player engagement, economic balance, and lasting ecosystem health.

Token Utility

VBT’s primary role is to act as the medium of exchange in the Voidbound marketplace, where players can buy, sell, and trade NFT-based assets. However, its utility extends far beyond simple market transactions. The token is deeply woven into the gameplay experience, enabling practical and rewarding uses that align with player activity and progression.

Key utilities include:

  • Marketplace Transactions VBT is the exclusive currency for all transactions within the Voidbound NFT marketplace. Players use it to acquire rare crafting recipes, limited-edition cosmetic items, and other player-owned assets that hold both in-game and collectible value.

  • Class Unlocks Certain advanced classes or skills are intentionally designed to be challenging to unlock through gameplay alone. Players may also unlock these by spending VBT, offering an alternative path for progression and encouraging active participation in the token economy.

  • NFT Minting The minting of in-game items as NFTs requires a fee paid in VBT. This process not only creates continuous token demand but also helps regulate the introduction of new NFT assets into the ecosystem, maintaining value and rarity.

  • Crafting and Repairs Players can use VBT to speed up crafting times or repair high-level NFT-based gear. These convenience-driven use cases foster recurring engagement and ensure that token demand grows naturally alongside player activity.

  • Governance Participation In future phases, VBT will also function as a governance token. Holders will be able to propose and vote on key decisions related to game development, new content, and economic parameters. This empowers the community and ensures that the most invested players help guide the future of Voidbound.

A Sustainable Economic Model

Voidbound’s token economy is designed to avoid the pitfalls of speculative models that depend on constant player influx. Instead, its value is anchored in real in-game utility and player-driven demand. By integrating VBT into essential gameplay systems and linking its use to tangible value, the ecosystem maintains equilibrium between token circulation, player progression, and market stability.

This approach transforms VBT from a mere currency into a cornerstone of the Voidbound experience, a tool that enhances gameplay, rewards engagement, and strengthens the bond between the player and the world of Eluria.
