# In-Game Economy

At the heart of MonkeyRealm’s gameplay is a player-driven in-game economy that mirrors a real-world fantasy economy. Players gather resources, craft items, and trade with each other, creating a living marketplace that supports the play-and-earn ecosystem.

The in-game economy of StupidMonkeys Realm Hero is player-centric and dynamic. It gives players meaningful economic roles – be a famed blacksmith, a resource tycoon, or just sell your surplus loot to afford the gear you really want. Every item in MonkeyRealm has value, set by the players. By marrying this in-game economy with blockchain, we ensure that players’ time investment and entrepreneurship can convert into real-world value if they desire. Our commitment is to maintain a stable yet engaging economy where effort is rewarded, markets are fair, and players drive the supply and demand.
