# Economy & Blockchain

**Understand Harvest Vale's in-game economy—and where blockchain features fit into its future.** Farming, fishing, combat, mining, and quests support an established Gold-based gameplay loop. Robinhood Chain Mainnet supplies the wallet network for account sign-in and the infrastructure planned for select future digital-asset features.

{% hint style="warning" %}
**CURRENT ECONOMY STATUS:** **Gold shops and supported in-game item transactions** are part of the game. **The official VALE Token contract address is now published.** VALE Premium Shop purchases, on-chain player Marketplace buyer settlement, and Bank mineral-to-stock conversion are **not currently active**.
{% endhint %}

The supported Bank interface also displays six registered stock-token symbols for a possible future RWA exchange. Their **informational price feed is not a conversion rate** and does not grant redemption rights.

## A Player's Economy Journey

{% stepper %}
{% step %}

### Earn Gold Through Gameplay

Harvest crops, sell eligible produce and resources, complete and claim quests, and receive any eligible conditional monster Gold rewards.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

### Buy Supplies and Equipment

Spend Gold at supported Farm or Hunter Shops. Review the item quantity per bundle, current price, and item restrictions before purchase.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

### Collect Tradeable Resources

Fishing, mining, and crop farming add items to Inventory. The Marketplace allows eligible inventory listing and escrow, but VALE buyer payment settlement remains disabled by default.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

### Explore Future Digital-Asset Features

Review the Bank's **Coming Soon** conversion services and the 15-item VALE Premium Shop catalog. Do not interpret a displayed preview as a live payout, token sale, or available exchange.
{% endstep %}
{% endstepper %}

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://harvest-vale.gitbook.io/harvest-vale-docs/economy-and-blockchain.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
