# A\&Z Dual Credit System

Arena-Z operates on a Dual Credit System designed to balance ecosystem stability with player flexibility. By separating credits into two distinct types—A\&Z Credits—users can seamlessly engage in both on-chain and off-chain activities. 

$A2Z Tokens serve as the primary blockchain asset for governance and external value transfer, while A\&Z Credits power in-platform transactions and rewards. This structure ensures a sustainable economic flow, protecting long-term token value while maximizing day-to-day usability for all participants.

## 🅰 A Credit: Your Universal Prepaid Currency

A Credit acts as Arena-Z’s universal platform credit, similar in function to Steam Credits or Riot Points in traditional gaming ecosystems.

It is a prepaid, non-blockchain-based credit system that players can purchase and use across the Arena-Z platform for seamless interaction, especially for Web2 users unfamiliar with crypto wallets.

#### `Key Properties`

* **Web2 Onboarding Friendly**: No need for blockchain knowledge, wallet setup, or gas fees
* **Purchasable with Fiat or Crypto**: Available via credit card, PayPal, or supported cryptocurrencies
* **Non-Blockchain Ledger**: Stored and tracked off-chain for speed and scalability&#x20;
* **Fixed Value**: Pegged to a stable fiat-equivalent pricing structure&#x20;

#### `How to purchase A Credits?`

Users can directly purchase via Arena-Z Website.

* Payment Methods
  * $A2Z Tokens
  * Credit Card
  * PayPal

{% hint style="info" %}
❗Availability of credit card payments may vary by region due to issuer restrictions
{% endhint %}

#### `Where to use A Credits?`&#x20;

* Game Purchases (e.g., new title access, DLC content)
* In-Game Items (skins, boosts, consumables)
* Entry Fees for Paid Tournaments or Events
* Cosmetic Upgrades for AZZY and other platform features
* Gas Fee Purchases

By using A Credit for these activities, Arena-Z ensures that $A2Z remains reserved for governance, rewards, and Web3-specific functions, preventing utility overlap and protecting $A2Z token economics.

* Playing Arena-Z games
* Completing platform-wide quests & missions
* Participating in social campaigns
* Engaging with partner activities and events

## Synergy Between A\&Z Credits

The Dual Credit System is intentionally designed to balance both activity and loyalty, creating a fair and scalable rewards model for all user types.

| Platform Currency | Purpose                  | Primary Use                                                    |
| ----------------- | ------------------------ | -------------------------------------------------------------- |
| A Credit          | Prepaid access & loyalty | Easy payment, game transactions, AZZY cosmetics, participation |
| Z Credit          | Active contribution      | AZZY progression, multipliers, exclusive access                |

Your total **$A2Z rewards from AZZY** are calculated based on:

* AZZY Level (unlocked via Z Credits)
* Reward pool size

This structure ensures that both new users and veteran players are rewarded in ways that reflect how they engage — with zero friction and full scalability.
