# Economy

$KIDEN functions as the primary utility token within the RoboKiden ecosystem, acting as a hard currency that empowers players to access various in-game features and enhancements. Players can utilize $KIDEN to purchase lootboxes containing NFTs of varying rarity and categories, which they can deploy in battles to earn rewards in the form of $KIDEN. Additionally, $KIDEN can be used to acquire NFTs directly from the marketplace, enabling players to expand their collection and strengthen their arsenal.

It offers players both strategic depth and exciting opportunities for progression and customization, ensuring that their gameplay is enriched with valuable and dynamic assets.
