The Shrapnel economy is designed to let multiple personas take part in the ecosystem through playing, building, owning, and governing, with incentives for each persona.

As these personas interact, the ecosystem forms a positive feedback loop-encouraging cooperation, uncovering new opportunities, and driving continuously growing economic activity as more people join in.

PLAYERS. Players can purchase gear, retrieve it from game sessions, and list it on the SHRAPNEL Marketplace for SHRAP.CREATORS. Creators can produce everything from vanity items to custom weapons, maps, and map objects, and can earn value from what they create.CURATORS. Curators who successfully surface high-quality content for the community to enjoy can also share in the rewards.LAND OWNERS. Land owners who commit upfront to the ecosystem receive a proportional share of the value generated.
