# LEAF Token

### **Overview**

**LEAF** is the secondary in-game resource of Pixotchi.\
It is generated exclusively by staking $SEED and is designed to act as a **utility token** for long-term progression.

LEAF does not have an external liquidity pool and is not intended for speculative trading.\
It functions solely inside the Pixotchi ecosystem.

***

### **Generation**

Players can earn LEAF by staking their SEED tokens. There is:

* **No lock-up period**
* **Real-time accrual of rewards**
* **Free claiming and unstaking at any time**

Current approximate emission rate:

**\~3.33 LEAF per SEED per day**\
(Rate may vary dynamically based on total staked SEED and reward pool distributions.)

***

### **Utility**

LEAF is primarily used for **land progression**, including:

* Upgrading buildings
* Unlocking higher-level production
* Future utility within new land buildings
* Potential hybrid mechanics introduced in V2

In addition, LEAF can be swapped for SEED inside the **Marketplace building** on owned land.\
This is an in-ecosystem conversion and does not affect external exchanges.

***

### **Access Points**

LEAF staking and management are available via:

* **Pixotchi Mini App / Full App**
* **Staking Dashboard** (web version)

Both interfaces connect directly to the staking contracts.

### **Design Philosophy**

The LEAF system introduces a strategic layer to gameplay:

* Stakers gain long-term progression benefits
* Heavy land owners require sustained LEAF supply
* Player growth pace becomes closely tied to resource management
* The economy avoids runaway mint-and-print behavior

LEAF exists to complement SEED rather than replace it, forming a two-token system optimized for a sustainable onchain game loop.
