Participation with $CUCO enriches the experience for collectors, players, and community members alike โ transforming gameplay actions into meaningful economic interactions.
9.1 Utility Overview

The optional yet highly advantageous use of $CUCO unlocks numerous benefits and strategic opportunities across the Cuco universe:
Payments & Discounts: Use $CUCO to buy digital booster packs, pay print/redemption fees, or access premium content โ with discounts (e.g., up to 20% off) for paying in $CUCO.
Vault Attempts & Clue Unlocks: Many treasure hunts and puzzle vaults require staking or burning tokens to attempt an unlock or reveal hidden clues.
Staking & Guilds: Stake $CUCO to earn passive rewards, gain guild-based bonuses, or access exclusive vaults and community hunts.
Crafting & Upgrades: Craft Sigils, artifacts, or Seeker upgrades using $CUCO โ a portion of which is burned permanently to preserve economic balance.
Governance Participation: Engage in non-critical community voting for lore outcomes, event themes, and ecosystem development.
Marketplace & Fees: $CUCO powers the in-game marketplace, serving as the default settlement currency for trading, crafting, and resale fees.
