$PYR is an ERC-20 / Matic compatible token. This means those from the ETH community have access to buying it, but as they're using a Layer 2 solution, there are next to zero gas fees involved in using it. It will be used across all dApps and games in the Vulcan Forged ecosystem.
There are several utilities: buy/sell in our marketplace, stake in land plots, Titans or Olympians, stake and farm on Vulcandex, hold to become a dApp in our marketplace, earn it by simply playing, or stake it in order to join the philosopher's counsel. There are many more utilities coming but these will be the first main functions.

The PYR Token is built as a unique gaming utility token on top of the PYR Protocol. This token can be used to buy assets, redeem game assets into PYR tokens, redeem assets for fiat, or can be used as an interoperable token to purchase assets for a different game within the Vulcan Foundation ecosystem. For example, you could hypothetically purchase assets to be used within VulcanVerse by utilizing the tokens you earned in BlockBabies, Berserk, Forge Arena, or any other current or future game in the Vulcan Foundation ecosystem. $PYR powers the entire Vulcan Forged dApp ecosystem. Vulcan Forged carefully crafted this token together with their blockchain partner Polygon. They believe that the $PYR token together with $LAVA will play a key role in our mission to revolutionize the play-to-earn concept in gaming. It can be earned in a myriad of ways just by playing the many Vulcan Forged dApps. The primary use for $PYR will be as a form of currency in the Vulcan Forged marketplace (market.vulcanforged.com). To interact with the Marketplace (auctions, trades, etc) you must first move PYR from Main Wallet to Market Wallet.

The Vulcan Foundation will fund a staking PYR reward pool with 10M initial tokens released over a 48 month period. Along with the foundation's contributions, the pools will be added to in four ways (for now), each time equally divided between the two:
• 50% of the fee taken from every Vulcan Marketplace transaction will go into the reward pool
• 10% of every fee taken from direct asset sales (Berserk cards, or Vulcanites for example) will go into the reward pool.
• 50% of every upgrade fee for land, Titans, and Olympians will go into the reward pool
• 10% of every prize pool and tournament fee setup in the Frenzy game goes to the reward pool.

Inside of the flagship game VulcanVerse, the major use case for $PYR is in leveling up and staking in your NFT land(s) and NFT God(s). Each level increase (up to level 7) will have a $PYR fee and also require a $PYR deposit in the form of token staking.
