**Main Assets**

In addition to the core NFT assets shown in the above section, for fungible token assets, MetaCene has designed two main tokens – $MUD and $MAK – to support the game's economic cycle.

**$MUD - In-Game Token**

$MUD is the fundamental FT asset in MetaCene with an unlimited total supply. $MUD is also known as Silver Coin, which can be used as a utility token and a settlement currency in-game.

$MUD Generation

$MUD Consumption

As a settlement currency, $MUD is a general equivalent throughout the game and can be used for:

* Equipment purchase from in-game shop
* In-game P2P trading
* Exchange transaction
* On-chain NFT marketplace settlement for in-game assets
* In-game asset auction<br>

As a utility token, $MUD can be used for:

* Gameplay related purchase including teleportation and resurrection<br>

**$MAK - Governance Token**

The MetaCene governance token has a total circulation of $1 Billion. $MAK has a variety of utilities and consumption scenarios, such as purchasing land, staking to synthesize advanced NFT assets, etc. $MAK serves as an essential asset for intermediate and advanced players.

$MAK Buyback

To ensure the long-term stability and health of $MAK token value, MetaCene will use 30% of its revenue for buybacks. MetaCene's revenue sources are divided into platform revenue and game revenue.

1. Platform revenue

* NFT marketplace: Income from transaction fees generated in the NFT trading market
* DEX: Transaction fee income generated in DEX
* Realms NFT: Realms NFT authorization/copyright fees and revenue sharing;
* Taxes: Taxes generated by transactions in the NFT trading market, cross-server transaction taxes, land taxes, etc. over the Stage 2 and 3 of MetaCene game development. A portion of the tax revenue will go into the MetaCene treasury.

2. Game revenue

* Income from game asset consumption
* In-game store revenue

\*Final buyback policy depends on the actual situation.

**Ecosystem Value Appreciation**

* The immense demand generated by a large user base
* The $MAK consumption generated through gameplay and content
* The increasing number of game users will increase the demand for ecosystem NFTs and in-game NFTs
* The continuous expansion of game environments generates more demand to unlock new content
* As income increases, a larger proportion will be used for $MAK buybacks

MetaCene offers mining machines, and various gameplays such as PVE and PVP can produce game currency and resources. Players can also receive airdrop rewards in-game. In order to encourage players to continuously participate and contribute in-game, game activities with stronger interactivity will receive more rewards. Participating in player co-creation and player governance will also yield generous returns.

The advanced in-game NFTs are mainly generated by synthesizing low-level materials into high-level materials and staking $MAK. Therefore, intermediate to advanced players have a strong demand for purchasing synthesis materials, creating a considerable market for Play-to-Earn players. Advanced NFT assets have a guaranteed value foundation underpinned by $MAK staking, meaning that players collecting advanced NFT assets (including land) will have a consistent large demand for $MAK. Overall, $MAK will show a tightening trend, and its price will rise accordingly.
