$BLOCK is used as a currency in the expansive Critterz metaverse.
There are two types of $BLOCK: in-game $BLOCK and wallet $BLOCK. When $BLOCK is generated, they are first shown as in-game $BLOCK that can be used for in-game utility. In-game utility $BLOCK spending is gasless and off-chain.
Once you withdraw $BLOCK in the $BLOCK bank, it will show up in your Ethereum wallet as ERC-20 tokens that can be transferred between other wallets and used for other on-chain applications such as the community managed liquidity pool.
Wallet $BLOCKs are used to claim unclaimed Plots from the wilderness. When you claim Plots, you get a 64 by 64 piece of land that are permanently yours. See more info on Plot claiming below.
Marketplace uses in-game $BLOCK. More information on the marketplace can be found below.
Teleportation actions (/back, /sethome, /tpa, /rg tp, /warp except /warp spawn) consume in-game $BLOCK. Burn amount is determined by DAO Voting. After you type in a teleportation command, you will need to type /tpconfirm to confirm teleportation.
Elytra rentals consume in-game $BLOCK. Burn amount per second is determined by DAO Voting. To rent an elytra, type /elytra rent <number of seconds> with the specific number of seconds on prompt, after which the elytra will activate. The maximum rental time per session is five minutes.
Players will able to spend in-game $BLOCK to set global teleportation points accessible by anyone.
