# 💠 Economy Overview

#### Value Flow at a Glance

Move → Earn → Spend → Upgrade → Re-enter Gameplay

Every reward earned through movement is designed to:

* Be used inside the game
* Improve long-term progression
* Re-enter the gameplay loop

#### Earning (Input)

Players earn value by:

* Moving consistently
* Managing energy efficiently
* Using optimized gear

Earning is capped and predictable to prevent abuse.

#### Spending (Utility)

Earned value is primarily spent on:

* Gear repairs
* Gear upgrades
* Crafting progression
* Event participation

Spending is not a penalty — it is the engine of progression.

#### Recycling (Circulation)

Instead of creating infinite new rewards:

* Existing items are reused
* Value circulates between players
* The marketplace enables specialization

This keeps the ecosystem healthy and sustainable over time.
