It also powers the world's governance and ecosystem programs.

What is Nine Chronicles?
Nine Chronicles is an open source, decentralized RPG set in a fantasy world — powered by its players, and supported by a complex economy where supply and demand are the greatest currency.
Why 100% decentralized? Is it important?
We want to create a whole new fantasy world that doesn't depend on the game company — an online world that can exist as long as there are players, and a world that is fully owned by the community. That's why we made Nine Chronicles 100% fully decentralized. Every action is saved on-chain so that you can verify the whole world's status by yourself. To achieve this mission, we've built Libplanet, a new distributed ledger technology library for implementing P2P MMO games. Nine Chronicles is the first game based on Libplanet.

Economics and NCG Usage
Nine Chronicles Gold (NCG) is the base token used in the Nine Chronicles network. Players can spend NCG to craft powerful items, trade with other users, challenge each other, and accelerate growth, while also participating in governance and staking.
As a free-to-play game, NCG isn't necessary in the beginning stages of exploration, but the game is designed so that NCG's needs are gradually increased as players grow more powerful. Eventually, players can stake NCG to earn potions and unique items which can be used by them or circulated to other users for profit.
Spending NCG
- Accelerating GrowthEach action created by a user is capped by an energy gauge which refills every 8 hours. To refill energy faster, players may purchase energy potions from the public market. Crafting items also takes a set amount of time, which can be accelerated by purchasing hourglasses from the market.
- Crafting ItemsCrafting equipment above a certain level requires a certain amount of NCG, and the more competitive the equipment, the higher the requirement.
- Trading ItemsNCG is used to sell or purchase items from the public market. Any player can list items on the market, and get paid when another player makes a purchase. There is a set % fee for trading items on the market, and the fee is currently locked. There is a plan to circulate the fee back to NCG holders.
- Challenging PlayersPlayers pay an entrance fee in NCG to enter a battle arena to challenge other players. The pool created from the entrance fee is split among the winners each week.
Staking NCG
- Earning Tradeable In-Game RewardStaking the main token for periodic in-game reward is a key feature of Nine Chronicles. Instead of purchasing items off the market, players can stake their token and receive energy potions, hourglasses, and other exclusive consumables periodically. This effectively reduces the surplus supply of NCG and gives the players a share of the pie by allowing them to create in-game items that can be sold.
