# Token Usage & Economy Design

$DRAG functions as a tokenized game currency that connects traditional gaming mechanics with blockchain technology.

The game operates under a game-first philosophy, where enjoyment and fair competition are the primary objectives. Blockchain integration exists to provide transparency and optional rewards without turning gameplay into a purely financial activity.

Once $DRAG is deposited into the game, it is consumed through in-game actions and is not withdrawable. This mechanism helps maintain balance, reduce abuse, and support long-term ecosystem health.
