Credits & Economy
Credits are the currency of participation — a consumable stake you spend to begin a cave run.
How Credits Work
| Credits | Multiplier | Play Style |
|---|---|---|
| 1 credit | 1x | Safe exploration, good for casual play |
| 10 credits | 10x | High-risk, high-reward leaderboard push |
| Up to 1,000 credits | Up to 1,000x | Maximum risk, maximum reward |
💡 One credit = one entry. Increase your stake to multiply your potential score!
Purchasing Credits
Players may purchase credits using their connected wallet balance.
Continue Costs
Each continue costs credits equal to your initial stake:
| Initial Stake | Continue Cost | Energy Restored |
|---|---|---|
| 1 credit | 1 credit | +80 / +60 / +40 / +20 |
| 10 credits | 10 credits | +80 / +60 / +40 / +20 |
| 100 credits | 100 credits | +80 / +60 / +40 / +20 |
The Shop
The in-game Shop accepts credits for items:
| Purchase | Cost | Result |
|---|---|---|
| Item Bundle | 5 credits | 3 random usable items |
Shop items enter your safe inventory — they do not require extraction to keep.
