Both can be earned while playing the game. $CRT is the utility token of the game and can only be used for the game, while $DSRUN is the governance token of the game and can be converted into real money. Let’s take an in-depth look at these two tokens.

$CRT Tokens: The native utility token of the game Derby Stars These tokens can only be used in the game and can’t be converted into real money. Here are some of the utilities:

• Can be used to change your in-game name.

• Can be used to purchase Fatigue-Relieving mints on their website’s webshop.

• Required for Breeding.

• Required if you want to upgrade your horse limit level from level 10 to level 20.

• Used as an entry fee for PvP competitions.

• Can be used to rent a horse.

$DSRUN Tokens: On the other hand, $DSRUN is the governance token of the game Derby Stars and can be converted into real money. Here are some of the utilities:

• Required for Breeding.

• Can be used to buy SBT items on their website’s webshop.

• Can be converted into real money.

• In the future. $DSRUN holders will also have the opportunity to propose and vote on on-chain governance proposals for the future development of the game and its platforms.

How do you earn tokens in the game? What do you need?

You need to play the game to earn both $CRT and $DSRUN. To do these, you need to do certain things in the game. Here’s the breakdown:

1. Start training your horses and competing in PvE matches in “Free Training” mode. You have to finish the scenario until the Final Derby. In every year of the game, you will get a mid-term rating about your performance in the past year. Get a high grade in the mid-term rating and final grade to earn a high amount of CRT tokens. If your grade is lower in the final grade, you will only receive a low amount of CRT tokens, or worse, you will not get any of them. If you lose your first race in the first year of your training, you will not get any CRT tokens. So try to get as high as you possibly can in the final grading for better rewards.

2. Once you have enough CRT tokens, you can now participate in their Derby Stars PvP competition. First, you need to look at the available races in PvP mode. Each race has available information about the race and the amount of entry fee you need to pay to enter. There is a deadline for each race, and once the deadline ends, the race will start. You can watch the game and see how your horse performs. If you win or qualify, depending on the race conditions, you will earn VP points. These VP Points will be accumulated throughout the season, and your ranking will depend on how many VP Points you earn. At the end of the Derby Stars season, you will win a prize of $DSRUN depending on your ranking.

If I need NFTs or other Assets to earn the token, how do I get them—buy or borrow?

You can rent their horse, NFT, on their website. You will only need to pay a certain amount of CRT Tokens to rent the horse you want, and then you can use your rented horse to play Derby Stars. Take note that Rented NFT horses do not have the privileges of those who own NFT horses, like breeding and trading. You can only use the rented horse to play the game.

On the other hand, if you want to own a horse, you can buy the horse's NFT at secondary marketplaces like Opensea and One Planet.

You can also Breed a horse if you own multiple horses. The breed horse can be raised and used in Derby Stars, or you can sell it.

How can I convert these tokens to Fiat?

You can swap your $DSRUN on exchanges like Uniswap and ByBit. If you go to the Derby Stars website and your wallet is connected, Go to the “Web Shop” tab, and you will see under the “Governance Token Market” the clickable image of UniSwap and ByBit. Just click on the icon, and it will redirect you to the website where you can swap $DSRUN for any tokens you want, just like in the image above.

Is there any reason to hold on to the tokens rather than sell them?

Yes. Aside from selling the token, you can also use your $DSRUN and $CRT tokens as payment for breeding and buying items on the Derby Stars website. If you want to ensure your wins or at least get a higher chance of winning in PvP competitions, I highly suggest that you train your horse regularly and spend some CRT tokens for “Limit Breakthrough”. This will give your horse more stats to grow and compete way better than before. Also, if you own multiple horses, paying $CRT and $DSRUN tokens for breeding is also a good investment. Not only can you increase your horses, but you can also raise and use them, or you can sell them for real money. So train hard and be the stars in this metaverse horse racing game.
