# In-game currency

Diamonds and product credits are distinct from $AI.

## Two different layers

## How diamonds were described

The original whitepaper described diamonds as in-game currency obtainable through fiat currency, stablecoins, BNB or $AI. It listed item purchases—including clothes, accessories and food—mystery boxes, gacha and optional experiences such as ASMR.

It also described currency consumption for interactions, NFT transactions and maintaining item durability. These are records of the earlier product model, not confirmation that every payment method or consumption mechanism is active in every current product.

## Before purchasing

* Check the displayed price and supported payment method.
* Check what is being purchased: a credit balance, a digital item, a collectible or access to a feature.
* Read any expiry, transfer, refund and usage conditions in the product.
* Do not assume credits are interchangeable with $AI or redeemable for cash.

The interface and applicable product terms determine the transaction you are making. No new exchange rate, reward rate or pricing commitment is introduced by this page.
