# $WEST Token

### <mark style="color:yellow;">$WEST In-Game Currency</mark>

**$WEST** is exclusively for in-game transactions. Players will use it for activities like gambling in saloons, dueling with other members, playing mini-games, competing in competitive mode, and trading in-game items.

**$WEST** is minted daily with no cap and can ONLY be earned through [Broken mention](broken://pages/ewWUEcp4IlhIwPPLwK3Z) **Staking** and **Play-to-Earn (P2E) events**. Players pledge $POSSE to participate in seasonal $WILD earning events driven by competitive esports-style gameplay, climbing the 'Most Wanted' rankings.

### <mark style="color:yellow;">$WEST Earning Mechanism</mark>

The **$WEST** earning tool is the primary driver of volume in our GameFi ecosystem. By players being incentivized to "cash in" their **$WEST** for **$WILD** rewards, it creates a natural sell pressure on **$WILD** and keeps volume moving. Buy pressure, meanwhile, is generated from various events, including merchandise sales, NFT drops, AI Avatars, platform-based earning vaults, and other external revenue streams.
