All players with an *ANiMA* account can freely browse the marketplaces. If they choose to participate, they must go through a quick secondary verification process by linking two other accounts via *Oauth* connections (e.g., *gmail*, *apple id*). This is essential for limiting bots and keeping the marketplace fair for players. Players own all in-game assets, and the data associated with creating and destroying *items* is secured by *Arbitum Orbit technology*. *Arbitrum* is a trusted leader in public p2p infrastructure, and its ecosystem is secured by over $10 billion worth of assets. All in-game items are listed in USD(C), and both marketplaces rely on peer-to-peer transactions to function. In other words, the studio does not hold or sell any in-game items, and there is no in-game currency. ## Grand Exchange Players can trade all in-game *items* except for *bind-on-pickups* and *cosmetics* on the *Grand Exchange*. The exchange functions similarly to any other in-game marketplace. Users can filter through *items*, list them via a *timed auction* or *buyout price* (or both), and purchase full *item* *stacks* or *individual* units. The studio does not sell anything on the *Grand Exchange*. All items available at any given time are listed by other players, and all trades are player-to-player. ## Night Market The *Night Market*, on the other hand, is dedicated to all *non-armor items*, namely *cosmetics, which have no significance in gameplay.* *Cosmetics* are either created by players or bought from the studio within the *Night Market*. Once the player owns any *cosmetic*, they are free to list and sell it as they please.

Grand Exchange

## Monetization This system charges a fee on all secondary transactions (e.g., player-to-player), effectively aligning our interests with yours. In other words, when you make money, so do we. More importantly, this allows *ANiMA* to remain free-to-play. Most importantly, this allows the game to keep its integrity, i.e., no intrusive ads, Gatcha, XP boosts or play-to-win tactics. Even better, players receive a 1% "**crafters fee**" on *items* crafted then sold. This occurs in perpetuity, so long as the *item* remains in circulation, i.e., it is neither *lost* nor *destroyed*.
