# 📘 Token Overview

The CleanupCentr operates on a flexible **multi-token resource economy**, currently powered by three core tokens.\
These tokens form the foundational resource loops of the ecosystem, with the system designed to support additional resource tokens in the future as gameplay expands or partner projects integrate.

This page explains the role, purpose, and interactions of the tokens active today.

***

## 🗑️ **TRASH**

#### *Fuel • Governance Alignment • Early Ecosystem Driver*

**Purpose:**\
TRASH is the fuel required to burn NFTs and activate the energy system.\
It plays a key role in enabling CINDER generation and regulating how often burning occurs.

**Primary Uses:**

* Fuel required to burn NFTs
* Drives the CINDER minting process
* Governance-aligned resource for future voting systems
* Initial economic stabilizer for the burning loop

**Design Notes:**

* TRASH is intentionally used sparingly in early phases
* Supply is fully circulating and naturally market-driven
* TRASH pairs primarily with WAX/USDC on markets
* Future phases may expand its role in governance or resource transactions

***

## 🔥 **CINDER**

#### *Energy • Core Gameplay Resource • Utility Token*

**Purpose:**\
CINDER is the **energy token** at the heart of the ecosystem.\
Players burn NFTs using TRASH to mint CINDER, then load that CINDER into farms to power all gameplay.

**Where CINDER Comes From:**

1. Burn an NFT
2. Spend TRASH as fuel
3. Receive CINDER

This converts excess NFTs into usable in-game energy.

**Primary Uses:**

* Powering farming actions
* Loading energy into farms via Simple Cores
* Operating tools (EcoSpout / EcoScythe)
* Driving plot and tool interaction
* Enabling utility-based loops across the ecosystem

**Design Notes:**

* CINDER creation is tied directly to *player demand*
* No CINDER is created unless players burn NFTs
* This prevents inflation and keeps supply naturally regulated
* CINDER is the backbone of future resource loops

***

## 🍅 **TOMATOE**

#### *Reward • Sink Token • Gameplay Currency*

**Purpose:**\
TOMATOE is the **primary farming reward** and the main sink token in the CleanupCentr gameplay loop.

Players earn TOMATOE by:

* Planting
* Watering
* Harvesting
* Operating tools
* Using energy efficiently

**Primary Uses:**

* Buying seeds
* Buying compost
* Buying tools
* Buying NFT packs
* Crafting / blending
* Participating in special events
* Utility purchases inside the ecosystem

**Design Notes:**

* TOMATOE is the main player currency
* All sinks are designed to keep TOMATOE stable and valuable
* It is fully integrated into future expansions and partner modules
* Strong sinks prevent runaway inflation — a major issue in other games

***

## 🧩 **How These Tokens Interact**

The CleanupCentr economy is designed around a **closed loop**, where every token contributes to another.

```
Burn NFTs + TRASH fuel → Mint CINDER
CINDER (via Simple Core) → Powers farms
Farms → Produce TOMATOE
TOMATOE → Spent on packs, seeds, tools, blends
Approved Burnable NFTs → Burned again for CINDER
```

This keeps the ecosystem:

* Balanced
* Circular
* Sink-driven
* Sustainable
* Player-controlled

Every resource feeds into another, ensuring constant utility.

***

## 🧱 **Multi-Token Expansion (Future Options)**

Although only TRASH, CINDER, and TOMATOE exist today, The CleanupCentr is designed to support:

* Additional farming resources
* External partner tokens
* Independent project integrations
* Multi-resource loops for metaverse-level gameplay

**Key point:**\
🟩 *No new tokens are being created now.*\
🟩 *The system is simply designed to allow them when needed.*

This ensures the ecosystem remains **scalable, modular, and future-proof**.

***

## 🛠️ **Token Safety Notes**

* No token promises or ROI guarantees
* All tokens emerge from gameplay, not financial systems
* Values are market-driven and unpredictable
* The system is designed for fun and utility, not speculation

***

## 🎯 **Summary**

The CleanupCentr uses a **multi-token, utility-driven economic framework** centered around:

#### ➤ TRASH: Fuel & governance alignment

#### ➤ CINDER: Energy & gameplay utility

#### ➤ TOMATOE: Rewards & sink token

This structure provides a sustainable, circular resource economy that can grow naturally and support future expansions, partner projects, and deeper metaverse mechanics.
