It represents the playable character itself, with its own look, name, and game stats. It is a non-fungible token, and owning or renting one is *required* to play the game. Every DEGEN token in the collection comes with its own unique randomly generated artwork. Each DEGEN token has a set of stats and abilities that can be leveled up by playing the game, and are stored on-chain to allow easy transfer of DEGEN tokens between players and across Degen Dystopia servers. Leveled-up DEGEN tokens are more powerful in the Degen Dystopia game. Every DEGEN token is associated with a unique animated character sprite which acts as the player’s in-game avatar. ### Rarity Each DEGEN is of either COMMON, RARE, or MYTHIC rarity. **NOTE:** Rarer DEGENS have rarer artwork. MYTHIC Degens also get special in-game cosmetic effects such as custom particle effects and lighting, allowing players to more easily identify the biggest badasses on the server :sunglasses::thumbsup:. ### Trading DEGEN tokens will be tradeable on the Degen Dystopia NFT marketplace with a 2% sales tax which pays into the player rewards pool. --- # Agent Instructions This documentation is published with GitBook.
